Finding the right therapist in Oregon does not have to mean choosing whoever is closest to home. This page is for people looking for therapists licensed in Oregon who offer online care. Telehealth can make it easier to compare options across the state and focus on fit, style, and availability instead of proximity alone. You can use filters to narrow your search by specialty, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and whether you want therapy, medication management, or both. Read profiles side by side, look for scheduling details that work for your life, and find someone who feels like a strong match for what you want help with.

“I love working with young adults, adults, couples, and teens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, spirituality, intimacy struggles, life transitions, and more.”
“I work primarily with adults seeking individual, couple, or family therapy. I focus my work on providing space for members of the Queer and Neurodivergent populations, as well as folks experiencing or interested in non-traditional relationship structures. I work well with folks who value honesty and humor in the therapy room. I tend to enjoy collaborating with my clients to explore topics related to identity, navigating complex relationships, and working through trauma that may be influencing our present day experience. I center my work on exploring how our patterns of behavior, emotions, and the stories we are carrying impact how we show up in our relationships and our beliefs about ourselves.”
“I work with adult individuals who are running into roadbumps in their relationships with others (or their relationship with themselves!).”
“I work with individuals and relationships who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how they got where they are. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, burnout, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. I work well with people who are ready to better understand themselves and their relationships, even if they don’t yet know exactly what needs to change. Whether you’re coming alone or with partners or family, our work focuses on creating space to feel seen, understood, and supported while moving toward a life and relationships that feel more aligned and intentional.”
“I frequently work with people around life transitions, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, gender and sexuality, acute and chronic trauma issues, self empowerment, parenting, chronic illness (invisible and visible) as well as grief and loss. I also provide support to those still practicing Covid precautions. I have specialized training with domestic violence/intimate partner violence and sexual assault.”
“I try not to limit who I work with, but over time it has become clear I am particularly helpful for people who feel stuck in their patterns. That might be a habit of ruminating on the past or anxious worry about the future for example. Sometimes stuck patterns are interpersonal, like repeating the same arguments with a loved one or falling into what feels like the same relationship over and over again. Other times stuck patterns relates to work, school, or struggles with every-day tasks and chores. One more pattern I often work with is internal: habitually feeling the same distressing feeling. People in these situations have generally tried a lot and are confused about what's not working, frustrated or even hopeless about the prospect of change.”
“I started my practice to help Oregon & Washington teenagers and adults, like yourself, realize your goals and confidently navigate life through building resiliency, strengthening and growing community, and better understanding yourselves. I hope to partner with you on your therapeutic journey!”
“I have made a point to get experience helping people navigate multiple types of challenges. Some challenges I support people with include neurodivergence, anxiety, life transitions, relationships with body image, and relationships with food. I have made a point to seek training and experience to support those in the LGBTQ+ community. I also provider relational counseling and support relationships that might incorporate Kink or ENM practices.”
“I am a trauma and attachment therapist who considers the multi layers of the individual as well as systems and conditioning that have influenced them. I work well with clients motivated to change core patterns and belief systems driving life focus and function, and desire deeper understanding and healing. I work well with adolescents and their parents/families. I understand the developmental-relational needs of adolescents and can also provide support for parents who are getting triggered and reactive with their teen. I use a hopeful perspective in helping parents explore how their child is activating what still needs healing within them I also enjoy working with women in mid life and later who are experiencing significant life transitions, losses, and new beginnings. Clients interested in psychedelic preparation/ integration, and want support with what has emerged in their psyche Overall- I work well with clients who want to find more wholeness within themselves and integrate their traumas, pain, and grief into deeper meaning and transformation ”
“At Purpose Counseling we work with adults who are ready to overcome limitations and find more purpose, aliveness and vitality in their day to day life by connecting more fully with themselves and others.”

“I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in OR & WA & AAMFT Supervisor who specializes in working with Relationships, couples, families, LGBTQ+ folks, poly, kink, and individuals starting at age 18.”
Online therapy can be especially practical in Oregon because the best-fit provider may not be anywhere near your town. The Oregon Office of Rural Health defines rural areas as places 10 or more miles from a population center of 40,000 or more and identifies 10 of Oregon’s 36 counties as frontier. Add winter chain requirements on Oregon highways and the state’s recurring wildfire smoke, and getting to weekly appointments can be harder than it first seems. Telehealth lets you widen your search beyond your immediate area and compare therapists by specialty, approach, language, schedule, and personality fit instead of settling for the closest opening. It can also make care easier to fit around shift work, parenting, school pickups, or long drives. You can use the resources below to verify licenses or find additional support if needed.
Start broad, then narrow down. First choose the kind of help you want, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting stress, relationship concerns, or burnout. Then use the filters for therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and whether you want therapy, medication management, or both. If local options feel limited, stay open to providers anywhere in Oregon so you can compare more styles and schedules. Once you have a shortlist, read profiles for experience, approach, fees, and availability, and then reach out.
Ask the questions that help you picture what working together would actually be like. A good start is: “Are you taking new clients?” “Have you worked with this issue before?” “What does a first session usually look like?” “Do you take my insurance or offer self-pay?” “How often do you usually meet with clients?” and “What happens if I travel or need to reschedule?” If you are choosing between a few providers, it is also worth asking how they approach treatment and what kinds of clients tend to be the best fit for their style.
Not necessarily. For many Oregon-licensed mental health professionals, the bigger issue is where you are during the session, not whether the therapist lives in Oregon. Oregon boards for counselors and psychologists say their licensees can provide telehealth to clients who are physically in Oregon even if the clinician is temporarily elsewhere, but if you travel out of state, the rules in the state where you are sitting during the appointment may control whether the session can still happen. The simplest move is to tell your provider before any trip and ask whether they can still meet with you. If you regularly split time between states, start with therapists licensed in multiple states.
Common options on this directory can include individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and some testing and evaluations. In Oregon, telehealth is commonly used for therapy, medication management, and many mental health visits, but the exact services available depend on each provider’s training, license, and client focus. If you need testing or a formal evaluation, ask whether the process is fully online or if they require any testing in person.
Yes. You can use the directory to look specifically for medication management providers. Medication management is usually focused on diagnosis, prescriptions, refills, side effects, and checking whether a medication is helping. Online therapy is more focused on talk therapy, coping skills, behavior patterns, emotions, relationships, and day-to-day support. Some people use one or the other, and some use both at the same time. Oregon Health Plan includes both therapy and medication management in behavioral health coverage. If you need a controlled substance prescribed, check with the provider before booking, because telehealth prescribing can involve additional federal rules and other restrictions.
A strong first stop is the Oregon Health Plan if you qualify, because Oregon says it covers behavioral health services and you do not need a referral from your primary care provider to get treatment. If you want county-based or public services, look up your local Community Mental Health Program in the resources below. For immediate emotional support or crisis help, use Oregon’s 988 resources. For family education, peer support, and help getting oriented, the resources below also include National Alliance on Mental Illness Oregon, Reach Out Oregon, Lines for Life, and 211info.
Match the provider’s credential to the right Oregon board. Social workers are verified through the Oregon Board of Licensed Social Workers. Counselors and marriage and family therapists are verified through the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists. Psychologists are verified through the Oregon Board of Psychology. Psychiatrists and physician assistants, called physician associates in Oregon, are verified through the Oregon Medical Board. Psychiatric nurse practitioners are verified through the Oregon State Board of Nursing. When you look someone up, confirm the provider’s name, license type, and current status, and review any public discipline information if it is posted. The official links are in the resources below.
Often, yes. Oregon says commercial health plans must cover medically necessary telehealth, and Oregon Health Plan covers video, phone, and online appointments, including behavioral health care. Plan to verify whether the specific provider is in-network, what your copay or deductible looks like, and whether the practice offers private pay or superbills. Before you book, ask what a standard session costs, whether intake sessions are priced differently, and whether late-cancellation or missed-appointment fees apply.
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 if privacy or location may be an issue.
Yes. Oregon has large rural and frontier areas, which can make it challenging to find a good fit therapist that you can see in person. Winter weather and seasonal wildfire smoke can disrupt travel throughout the state. Online therapy can help you keep appointments more consistently whether you live on the coast, in Central Oregon, in Southern Oregon, in Eastern Oregon, or just want to avoid a long drive during a busy week. It can also be a practical way to work with a specialist in another part of the state. If you expect to be physically outside Oregon during a session, ask your provider ahead of time.
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 right away.
