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.

“LGBTQ+, Men's Issues, Self-Esteem, Life Transitions, Anxiety, Depression”
“I work with adults who want to heal their psychological wounds as well as find their purposeful self-expressions and life callings.”
“I work with adults of all ages, genders, and identities. Some identities that I especially focus on are people in multicultural/mixed race relationships or families, men (often seeking therapy for the first time), people who perform for a living (performing arts, athletes). I work with people on anxiety/OCD, relationship challenges, low self-worth, chronic illness burnout, sexual issues, childhood trauma, ADHD, spiritual issues, religious trauma, parenting, addiction, & men's issues.”
“Often in the hustle and bustle of the “real world” we kind of just go with the flow and often lose ourselves. Sometimes it is scary to live our lives authentically. Living authentically means the person you feel you truly are on the inside. I started my career in the IT field, but realized I did not have a passion for it or enjoy it. I wanted to help others. I became a licensed marriage and family therapist, and am now living my authentic life path and want to help you find and live yours. I specialize in working with children, tweens, teens and adults who want to be their authentic selves, whether it is their gender journey (transgender/gender expansive/non-binary), coming out or being on the spectrum. I work with all religions and spiritualities and all types of families no matter what the unique makeup.”
“I help folks who are intensely curious about the “why”- why is this still bothering me? Why don’t I know how to let this go? Why can I do so well at work and then fall apart too easily at home? I primarily work with high achieving adults with histories of childhood trauma and/or ADHD. If you were in Talented and Gifted and still try to make sure all the boxes are checked in your personal and professional life, but internally feel overwhelmed and like you might just scream or cry into the void, I might just be the therapist for you. I know that a major component of successful therapy is finding the right therapist who not only has skills and experience, but is also someone who "clicks" with you, so I offer a 20 minute session to make sure that we are a great fit!”
“You keep having the same argument, or you've been told you shut down, check out, or aren't there emotionally. Maybe you're carrying something you haven't said out loud — an affair, a secret, thoughts you're ashamed of. That doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you someone who needs space to be honest, without judgment. Chronic disconnection has real consequences: crossing lines you never thought you would, or wondering if you want to keep going. Struggling with substance use, infidelity, disordered eating, or thoughts of suicide doesn't mean you're broken. It means the pain has become unbearable. I also work with grief that doesn't look the way people expect: a relationship that ended badly, a loss involving addiction or suicide, or relief, anger, or numbness instead of sadness. Healing means being honest about your reality without worrying about others' comfort.”
“I work primarily with queer, neurodivergent, and/or traumatized adults. I work with individuals who do not neatly fit inside a box, but rather live outside the box. I work with anyone over the age of 18 who is able to meet virtually. I love working with clients who identity as or suspect that they are neurodivergent and/or queer. I also enjoy working with clients who have experienced trauma, especially complex trauma, and are ready to start unpacking it and begin healing.”
“I work with high-functioning adults who look like they're managing everything well on the outside--capable, reliable, the person everyone turns to—and are quietly running on empty underneath it all. If your to-do list never ends, you say yes before you've even thought about whether you want to, or you've noticed your world shrinking, you're in the right place. Many of the people I work with are professionals and caregivers dealing with anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or a life transition that's left them wondering what's next. You might be the one everyone else leans on, and rarely have anyone to lean on yourself. I help clients feel less overwhelmed, set boundaries without guilt, and build a life with more room in it for rest and joy--not just more responsibility.”
“I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, OCD, and major life transitions—particularly those who feel stuck despite prior therapy or medication. Many of my clients are high-functioning, thoughtful, and introspective, yet feel disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or searching for deeper meaning. I specialize in supporting individuals interested in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), psychedelic preparation and integration, and interventional psychiatric care. I also work with first- and second-generation immigrants and others exploring identity, cultural complexity, and generational trauma. My clients are often seeking care that integrates neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and depth-oriented healing.”
“Psychiatric Evaluations and Medication Management. If you’re struggling with focus, motivation, mood stability, anxiety, or feeling mentally overwhelmed, I can help you understand what’s going on and build a clear plan forward. Practical psychiatric care for focus, stability, and lasting change. I combine psychiatric medication management with thoughtful, collaborative care. My goal is to stabilize you first, then explore underlying patterns and deeper themes that may be driving your symptoms.”
“I am a generalist who works with a wide variety of adults. Most of my training is in relationships and sexuality.”
“At Mission Psychiatry, we are dedicated to providing long-term mental health healing, growth and empowerment. We provide children, adolescents, and adults with a telehealth mental health clinic that provides comprehensive psychiatric services to individuals in need. We are dedicated to providing personalized care that addresses the unique needs of every individual, including students, executives, working professionals, and their families. Our mission is to offer patient-centered, evidence-based, and comprehensive psychiatric services to the Arizona and Oregon communities, inspiring resilience and meaningful progress on the journey toward mental wellness for all our clients.”
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.
