I also support clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, stress, grief, and the emotional impact of navigating a world that may not always understand or accommodate their identities and experiences.

“I work with children from age 7, teens, adults, couples and families who are tired of being misunderstood instead of supported. A lot of my clients carry complex trauma or PTSD, and many are also autistic, ADHD, or living with a serious mental illness like bipolar disorder or psychosis. Some were identified late, after a burnout that took every coping strategy with it. Many are BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, or living rural, where the nearest therapist who works with trauma is hours away and probably doesn’t take your insurance. If you’ve tried therapy before and left feeling managed rather than heard, you’re the person I built this practice for. You don’t need a diagnosis, the right words, or a tidy version of the story to start.”

Alexandra Aguilar

Alexandra Aguilar, LCSW

LCSW

Licensed In:
New York
“You learned to read the room before you learned to listen to yourself. Maybe you became your parents’ caretaker, the peacekeeper, or the child who never needed much. You learned to carry others’ emotions while your own went unnoticed. Now, you may struggle to set boundaries, trust others, accept care, or silence the inner critic telling you you’re never doing enough. You may be the person everyone relies on, yet privately feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from holding it all together. I work with adults navigating childhood trauma, parentification, anxiety, depression, shame, and low self-worth. Together, we can explore the patterns that keep you putting yourself last, rebuild self-trust, and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others. You don’t have to keep fighting the parts of yourself that learned to survive. Therapy can help you reconnect with who you are, honor your needs, and build relationships where you feel safe, supported, and valued.”

Finding online care in New York

Online therapy can be a practical option in New York when you want more choice without building your search around commute time alone. For some people, that means easier scheduling around work, school, caregiving, or a packed family calendar. For others, it means being able to compare providers across the state and focus on the things that matter most to daily life: experience with your concerns, appointment availability, language, session style, and cost. Online care can also help when you want evening sessions, are comparing insurance options, or need a provider who offers both therapy and medication support. Payment can vary from one practice to another, so it is a good idea to check whether a provider is in network, private pay, or able to provide an out-of-network superbill. You can use the official resources below to verify licenses or find additional support if needed.

Online therapy in New York: common questions

How do I use this page to find the right fit for online therapy in New York?

Start with the filters. Narrow by the issue you want help with, age group, language, insurance, and whether you want therapy, medication management, or both. Then read profiles for the details that matter in real life, like session times, approach, fees, and whether the provider feels like a good personal fit. It can help to save a short list of two or three options and compare availability, payment, and style before reaching out.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

Ask whether they are licensed in New York, whether they work with the concerns you want help with, what their availability looks like, how payment works, and what the first session is usually like. It is also worth asking what platform they use, whether they offer video or phone sessions, what they expect for privacy during appointments, and what happens if you travel or lose internet during a session. In New York, location can matter for telehealth visits, so it is a good idea to ask about that up front.

Does my online therapist have to live in New York, and what happens if I travel out of state?

Your therapist does not necessarily have to live in New York, but the rules can depend on where you are and where your therapist is at the time of the session. If you are in New York during the appointment, your provider generally needs to be licensed in New York or otherwise allowed to practice there. If you travel out of state, let your provider know ahead of time, because the rules for that state may affect whether they can still see you. If you split time between states or travel often, browse therapists licensed in multiple states.

What types of mental health services are available online through telehealth in New York?

On this directory, you can look for individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and testing and evaluations. The exact services available online will depend on the provider and the kind of support you are looking for. Some testing or evaluation services may be fully online, while others may be offered as a mix of virtual and in person care.

Can I find medication management providers here, and how is medication management different from online therapy?

Yes. You can use the directory filters to look for providers who offer medication management. Online therapy is often centered on helping you work through what is going on, build coping tools, and work toward emotional or behavioral change over time. Medication management is more focused on evaluation, prescribing when appropriate, monitoring side effects, and adjusting medication. Some prescribers also offer therapy, but many offer shorter medication follow-up visits rather than regular therapy sessions. If you need controlled substances prescribed, check with the provider before booking about whether they can do that through telehealth, because extra rules may apply and the process can vary by medication.

Where can I start if I need lower cost or public mental health support in New York?

A good place to begin is New York State of Health if you want to check Medicaid, the Essential Plan, or other lower-cost coverage options. If you are looking for clinics or public programs, the New York State Office of Mental Health Find a Mental Health Program tool is useful. If you want help finding services quickly in your area, 211 New York can connect you to local resources. For peer and family support, National Alliance on Mental Illness New York State is a strong starting point, and for substance use or gambling concerns, the Office of Addiction Services and Supports HOPEline can help. You can find these official links again in the resources below.

How do I verify a therapist or prescriber’s New York license?

For social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, use the New York State Office of the Professions online verification search. For psychiatrists and other physicians, use the New York State Physician Profile. If you also want to look into discipline history, the Office of the Professions enforcement page is helpful for many licensed professions, while physician and physician assistant discipline is handled through the New York State Department of Health. The official links are included in the resources below.

Does insurance cover online therapy in New York, and how does payment usually work?

Often, yes, but the details depend on your plan, the provider, and the type of visit. Before booking, ask whether the provider is in network, what your copay or deductible is, whether telehealth is billed any differently, and whether they can give you a superbill if you plan to use out-of-network benefits. New York Medicaid says telehealth includes audio-only and audio/video care, but not every provider accepts every plan. If you use commercial insurance and cannot find a timely in-network mental health appointment, the New York State Department of Financial Services has consumer guidance on provider access and next steps; the official coverage page is listed below.

What technology or privacy setup do I need for virtual sessions?

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. New York guidance for telehealth providers also emphasizes checking privacy and the person’s location during telehealth encounters.

Are there scheduling, regional, travel, or weather issues in New York that can make online therapy especially practical?

Yes. Online therapy can be especially helpful when getting to an office would mean a long drive, a lot of transit time, winter weather, parking stress, or fitting an appointment into a workday, class schedule, or caregiving routine. It can also make it easier to search across different parts of New York instead of choosing only from the few providers closest to home. For many people, that wider search is what makes it easier to find the right schedule and the right fit.

When is online therapy not the right choice?

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 secure 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 at 9-8-8 right away.
