“Adults and teens who are struggling with issues related to anger management”
“I test/diagnose patients with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder to provide accurate cognitive profiles, diagnoses and treatment recommendations. I also provide therapy to those with neurodivergence who want to learn executive functioning and social skills while also learning how their neurodivergence may impact their mood and daily functioning. I adapt evidence-based protocols (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT, MI) to become neurodivergent friendly and spend much time incorporating family members and also treating family members of a neurodivergent person to provide psychoeducation and guidance and help patients reduce masking and camouflaging. I also LOVE to work with patients going through the transition from high school to college. Developmentally this period of time is so vulnerable and I ensure patients have mood support, ADHD accommodations/skills, and coping skills for adjustment.”
“I have worked with adults from diverse backgrounds who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, overthinking, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-achieving individuals who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in recurring patterns. I also work with women navigating the effects of past trauma, difficult relationships, and challenges with confidence, boundaries, and self-worth.”
“Adults only-individuals, couples, some family/siblings. Issues include depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues, chronic health issues, anger issues, BPD and NPD, addiction, fertility and navigating IVF/parenting, grief, trauma, breakups, navigating life as a single person.”
“I work with clients (ages 12+) to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to achieving. I particularly work with teens who struggle in high school. I also work with young adults in life transitions or new moms or those struggling with infertility.”
“I work with individuals with that are struggling with Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma.”
“I work with individuals who feel 'stuck,' whether that’s in a cycle of anxiety, a heavy past, or recurring patterns in their relationships that they can't seem to break. Many of my clients find that their history seeps into how they communicate with partners or friends today, leaving them feeling misunderstood or defensive. My approach is deeply integrative. While I am trained in EMDR for those ready to process specific trauma, I also provide a compassionate, eclectic space rooted in CBT and mindfulness. Whether you want to dive deep into the nervous system or simply need a non-judgmental environment to navigate life's daily stresses and communication hurdles, we will move at a pace that feels safe for you.”
“Dr. Lanoff has notable experience supporting clients with complex and acute trauma (including sexual violence) and distress related to relationships. Dr. Lanoff has worked in a variety of clinical settings including community mental health centers and university counseling settings. Throughout this training, she has learned and integrated multiple evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic-existential, relational, trauma-focused, and feminist psychology. She believes that her clients have everything they need to heal within them, and that her role is to help people understand and overcome the obstacles that keep them from living their most joyful, fulfilling, and authentic life.”
“Couples”
“I've had the privilege of working with a wide variety of diverse adult clients--perhaps like you! I provide individual and group therapy (currently not couples or family therapy). Coming from both a generalist and specialist background, I'm able to work with many concerns that could include any of the following: PTSD and trauma (of many kinds) Queer / LGBTQ issues Racial/Ethnic concerns Depression and anxiety Grief, loss, transitions Relationship or family conflict Aging, chronic illness / pain / HIV/AIDS Sexuality, gender, body shame Sexual addiction / compulsion Academic stress and achievement Recovering from narcissistic abuse Interpersonal issues in group therapy Religious trauma, conflict and cult recovery Job stress, burnout, and finding "calling" Student, academic and career concerns Adverse experiences from prayer and meditation Racial discrimination / recovering from hate crime Climate change distress / political anxiety / social justice concerns.”
“Give me your tired, your overwhelmed, your sensitive! My favorite population to work with is Highly Sensitive Persons and all flavors of Neurodivergents! I am also skilled in complex trauma and attachment therapy. I further specialize in working with those with chronic illness or autoimmune presentations. I see adults ages 20 years and older. LGBTQIA+ Friend.”
“Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stretched thin are common experiences for the folks I work with. Many of my clients struggle with burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, insomnia, relationship stress, or the sense that they're not quite "doing enough." Sometimes big transitions, like early parenthood, career shifts, or divorce are contributing to this, and sometimes it's just due to patterns folks have learned that were once helpful for surviving day to day, but aren't serving them anymore. The clients I work with often want to find relief from anxiety, depression, or OCD, but also improve their sense of balance in their lives, working toward creating sustainable change.”
Online therapy can be especially practical in New Jersey because daily life often gets shaped by traffic, tolls, trains, school pickup, and packed schedules. The closest provider is not always the easiest one to see consistently. With telehealth, you can widen your search beyond your immediate town and compare therapists across North Jersey, Central Jersey, South Jersey, and Shore communities without adding another drive to your week. That can make a real difference if you want a therapist who works with a specific concern, speaks a certain language, sees children or teens, offers evening sessions, or takes your insurance. Online care can also help when local openings are limited and you want to expand your options for finding a good fit. Before you book, it helps to compare fees, insurance options, session times, privacy needs, and whether a provider offers therapy, medication management, or both. If you want to verify a license or look for added support, use the official resources below.
Start with the issues or goals that matter most to you. Use filters for specialty, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and whether you want therapy, medication management, or both. Then read profiles for the details that affect day-to-day fit, like session style, scheduling, rates, and whether the provider is accepting new clients. Because online care lets you search across New Jersey, it can help to save a few profiles and compare them based on who feels like the best match, not just who is nearest to home.
A good first conversation should help you understand both fit and logistics. Ask whether the provider is licensed to see clients in New Jersey, whether they work with the concerns you want help with, how online sessions are handled, what appointment times they offer, and whether they take your insurance or offer self-pay rates. It is also a good idea to ask what the first session is like, how often they usually meet with clients, what their cancellation policy is, and what happens if you have a technology problem during an appointment.
Your therapist does not necessarily have to live in New Jersey. What matters most is whether they are allowed to treat clients who are physically in New Jersey during the session. If you plan to travel out of state, tell your provider before your appointment. They may or may not be able to keep seeing you while you are away, depending on where you are and what licenses or multi-state authority they hold. If travel is a regular part of your life, it may help to browse therapists licensed in multiple states. If you would like to learn more, see our page on this topic.
In New Jersey, telehealth can include counseling, psychotherapy, and psychiatric evaluation and treatment. Browse our pages for individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and testing and evaluations to find a provider that meets your needs. Availability depends on the clinician’s license, specialty, and whether they can offer the service virtually.
Yes. Some listings are for prescribers who offer medication management, while others are for therapists who offer psychotherapy. Medication management usually involves evaluating symptoms, deciding whether medication may help, prescribing when appropriate, and then monitoring benefits, side effects, and adjustments over time. Online therapy is different: it focuses more on emotions, patterns, relationships, coping skills, and behavior change through conversation and treatment strategies. Some providers offer one service, while others offer both. If you think you may want medication, check whether the provider is a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or another licensed prescriber in New Jersey. If you need a controlled substance prescribed, ask the provider before booking whether they can do that through telehealth and what steps are required, since additional restrictions may apply.
A practical place to start is New Jersey Mental Health Cares, which helps connect people to treatment and other behavioral health resources. If you are looking for services for a child or teen, PerformCare is often a good first stop. National Alliance on Mental Illness New Jersey can also help with support groups, education, and local guidance. You can find the official links for these resources in the resources below.
You can use New Jersey’s official license verification system to confirm active licenses in social work, professional counseling, marriage and family therapy, psychology, medicine, nursing, and physician assistant practice. The official link is included in the resources below.
Often, yes, but the details depend on your specific plan. Before you book, ask whether the provider is in network, what your copay or deductible is, and whether telehealth visits are covered the same way as in-person visits. If a provider is out of network, ask for the full session fee and whether they can give you a superbill for reimbursement. If you use New Jersey FamilyCare, check your plan’s behavioral health network before your first appointment.
For most online therapy appointments, it is best to meet from a secure location with privacy and a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is usually ideal, though a phone or tablet may also work depending on the provider and platform. Most sessions happen by video, but depending on the provider and service, phone calls, texting, secure messaging, or email may also be part of telehealth or follow-up communication. Many providers also have their own policies about where sessions can take place, so it is best to check ahead of time if privacy or location may be an issue.
Yes. In New Jersey, even a short trip can turn into bridge traffic, tunnel delays, tolls, parking costs, train issues, or Shore traffic in peak season. Online therapy can be especially useful if you commute into New York City or Philadelphia, split time between different parts of the state, or want an appointment that fits into a lunch break or right after work. It can also make it easier to keep your routine on bad-weather days instead of missing a session.
Online therapy may not be the best fit if you are in immediate crisis, need emergency support, require a higher level of care, or do not have a private space or stable internet connection for sessions. In those situations, in-person services or local crisis resources may be more appropriate. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (https://988lifeline.org/) at 9-8-8 right away.
