LPC

Licensed In:
Ohio
“I provide clinical support for individuals (ages 6–45), couples, and families navigating the complexities of the human experience. My practice is designed for those facing significant life-stage transitions, from childhood developmental hurdles to the existential shifts of mid-adulthood. I work best with clients who are managing the ripple effects of medical trauma, family restructuring, or identity shifts. In my work with children and adolescents, I focus on building resilience and emotional regulation within the family system. For adults and couples, I provide a structured space to process grief, improve communication, and navigate the challenges of "starting over" after life-altering events. Whether you are a parent seeking to support a child’s growth or an individual reclaiming your path, I offer an integrated approach that honors your unique history, faith, and systemic needs.”

“I work with high-functioning adults and couples who may look successful on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship wounds, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, grief, or a deep sense of disconnection from themselves. Many of my clients are helpers, creatives, professionals, therapists, musicians, caregivers, and highly sensitive people who have spent years holding everything together for everyone else. I also work with adults healing from childhood trauma, attachment wounds, narcissistic abuse, emotionally immature family systems, and experiences that still live in the body long after the events are over. My practice is especially supportive for clients who want more than traditional talk therapy and are drawn to experiential, somatic, creative, and trauma-focused approaches that help create lasting emotional and nervous system change.”

LMHC, LPC, PhD

Licensed In:
Maine, Massachusetts, Ohio, South Carolina
“I work with women and couples navigating intimacy, desire, emotional disconnection, and relationship challenges. Couples often come to me feeling more like roommates than partners, stuck in recurring conflict, struggling with mismatched desire, or trying to rebuild trust and connection after betrayal or rupture. I also work individually with women who feel disconnected from desire, pleasure, sexual confidence, or their bodies, particularly during periods of stress, burnout, parenting, perimenopause, menopause, or other life transitions. My work may also include anxiety or shame around intimacy, neurodiversity and relationship dynamics, and the impact of past experiences on sexuality and connection. I’m especially well suited for clients who want to understand what is happening beneath the surface and create relationships and intimate lives that feel more connected, authentic, and sustainable.”

“I work with cycle breakers: adults, couples, parents, and families who are ready to stop repeating patterns they inherited, survived, or learned. My clients are often insightful and high-functioning, but feel stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship conflict, parenting triggers, shame, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, shutdown, or emotional reactivity. They may be healing from complex trauma, family-of-origin wounds, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety or rage, infertility, pregnancy loss, attachment wounds, or relational trauma. Many have done therapy before and understand where the pattern came from, but still feel like insight alone has not helped them change it.”

The Care Center

LPCC-S

Licensed In:
Ohio
“I help couples and individuals who feel stuck in patterns they don’t know how to break. For couples, I work with partners who are experiencing ongoing conflict, emotional distance, resentment, or gridlock—and who want to rebuild genuine fondness, mutual respect, connection, and a stronger sense of unity in their relationship. I also work with adults who are struggling with the lasting effects of past trauma. Whether it shows up in relationships, at work, or in the way you see yourself, these experiences can continue to shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors long after the original events have passed. Together, we look beyond the surface-level struggles to understand and address the root causes, so you can move beyond old patterns, close the chapter on what has been holding you back, and begin creating the life and relationships you want.”

Finding online care in Ohio

Online therapy can be a practical option in Ohio because it gives you more flexibility to choose a provider who truly fits your needs, rather than limiting your search to whoever is nearby. That can matter if you want a therapist with experience in a specific concern, evening availability, a certain therapy style, or a provider who takes your insurance. It can also make care easier to keep up with during Ohio winter weather, since snow, ice, freezing rain, and flooding can all make travel harder. Ohio health benefit plans generally must cover telehealth on the same basis as comparable in-person care, although your actual cost still depends on your plan, network, deductible, and the service you are using. Use this page to compare fit, scheduling, and payment options, then use the official resources below if you want to verify a license or find additional support.

Online therapy in Ohio: common questions

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

Start by filtering by what is most important to you: the issue you want help with, the kind of therapy you want, language, insurance, and whether you want talk therapy or medication management. Then read a few profiles closely and compare practical details like appointment times, fees, and whether the provider feels like someone you would be comfortable talking to. In Ohio, it is also a good idea to verify the provider is licensed for the kind of care they offer and to ask about travel rules if you are often out of state.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

A good starting point is to ask whether they are licensed to see clients in Ohio, whether they have experience with the concern you want help with, what openings they have, what sessions cost, whether they take your insurance or are out of network, and what their cancellation policy is. It also helps to ask what telehealth sessions usually look like, whether they offer phone appointments if needed, and what happens if you travel outside Ohio during treatment. These questions usually give you a clearer sense of fit before you commit.

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

Not necessarily. The key question is usually not where the provider lives, but whether they are licensed or otherwise authorized to treat you where you are physically located during the appointment. For Ohio counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists, Ohio says that clients who are physically in Ohio must be seen by an Ohio-licensed provider, and if the client is outside Ohio, the provider must follow the rules where the client is located. Location matters for other licensed professionals as well, and the exact rule can vary by license type. If you travel often, tell the provider before your session and ask whether they can still meet with you. You can also browse our find a therapist licensed in multiple states page if that flexibility matters to you.

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

Depending on the provider, you may be able to find individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and some testing and evaluations. The right fit depends on what kind of support you are looking for and what each provider offers through telehealth.

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

Yes. You can use the filters to look for medication management providers. Some medications can be prescribed through telehealth, but not every provider handles every medication online, so it is smart to ask directly whether they can evaluate, prescribe, and follow your specific needs through virtual care. For controlled medications, the rules can vary depending on the medication and the situation, and current federal telemedicine regulations.

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

A strong place to start is Ohio Medicaid if you may qualify, your local county Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health board for community-funded services and referrals, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness Ohio chapter for support groups, education, and local connections. If you are looking for youth services, OhioRISE (Resilience through Integrated Systems and Excellence) may help families with more complex behavioral health needs, and Mobile Response and Stabilization Services offers free immediate support for young people age 20 and under. If you need someone to talk to right away, Ohio CareLine and 988 are also good starting points. The official links are in the resources below.

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

Use the official board lookup that matches the provider’s profession. Counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists can be checked through the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. Psychologists can be checked through the Ohio Board of Psychology. Psychiatrists and physician assistants can be checked through the State Medical Board of Ohio. Psychiatric nurse practitioners can be checked through the Ohio Board of Nursing license verification system. The official links are in the resources below.

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

Many Ohio health benefit plans cover telehealth on the same basis as comparable in-person care, and cost-sharing for telehealth generally cannot be higher than for a similar in-person service. Even so, your actual cost still depends on your plan, network, deductible, and the kind of visit you are booking. Before your first appointment, ask whether the provider is in network, what your copay or coinsurance will be, whether they offer superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, what the self-pay rate is, and whether they have a sliding scale. Ohio Medicaid also covers a range of behavioral health services.

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, and depending on the provider and service, phone calls or secure electronic communication may also be used. Ohio telehealth rules emphasize privacy, secure transmission of electronic communication, and using technology that still meets the standard of care, so it is worth checking ahead if your location, device, or privacy setup could be an issue.

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

Yes. Ohio winters can bring snow, ice, blizzard conditions, freezing rain, and flooding, and lake-effect snow is common across the Great Lakes region. For many people, that makes online therapy especially useful because it is easier to keep an appointment when the roads, weather, or commute are unpredictable. Virtual care can also be easier to fit around work breaks, parenting logistics, school schedules, or days when driving across town would make you more likely to cancel.

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, text, or chat the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8 right away.
