About finding online care in this state

This page helps you find therapists licensed in Tennessee who offer online care. Instead of limiting yourself to whoever is closest to home, you can compare options across different parts of the state and focus on fit, approach, and availability. That can be especially helpful if your local options feel limited, your schedule is tight, or you want a provider with a specific specialty. Use the filters to narrow by specialty, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and whether you want a therapist, medication management, or both. You can also compare profiles, fees, and session options before you book.

“Do you struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, or feeling like your mind constantly spirals to the worst-case scenario? I specialize in helping women with anxiety and trauma break free from constant overthinking, negative self-talk, and the pressure to chase the next achievement. I often work with women who appear “fine” on the outside but, behind closed doors, wrestle with worries about what could go wrong and a persistent feeling that they’re never doing enough. I support women in transforming unhelpful thought patterns, reducing anxiety, and learning how to quiet the mental spiral so they can start truly living. My goal is to help you create a life that feels aligned, grounded, and authentic not one driven by fear and anxiety.”

“You or your child may be bright and capable, yet struggling in ways that are difficult to understand or explain.

My evaluations look beyond a diagnosis to understand the whole person—bringing together cognitive strengths, learning, attention, emotional functioning, developmental history, and lived experience to make sense of complex or overlapping patterns. I also provide neurodiversity-affirming therapy for children, teens, and adults seeking greater self-understanding, practical support, and more sustainable ways of navigating everyday life.”

“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.”

LPC

Licensed In:
Colorado, Tennessee, Texas
“I specialize in supporting kids, teens, and adults who often feel like they’re “too much” on the inside and “not enough” on the outside. Many of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful, and caring—and also quietly overwhelmed. They may find themselves stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or constantly feeling on edge. Often, they’ve spent years masking their struggles, unsure of why they feel different, drained, or disconnected. ​ I especially love working with tweens and adolescents (ages 10+) who are navigating the tricky terrain of growing up—dealing with friendship shifts, school pressure, big emotions, and the journey of self-discovery. I also work closely with adult women who are high-performing yet often struggling with suspected or diagnosed ADHD, chronic anxiety, or burnout, and who are seeking balance amidst life's demands.”

Finding online care in Tennessee

Online therapy can be a practical option in Tennessee because you are not limited to providers in your immediate area. That matters in a state where many people are comparing options across larger cities, smaller communities, and rural areas to find the right fit. Tennessee also spans both Central Time and Eastern Time, so online care can widen your choices, but it is a good idea to double-check appointment times if you are meeting with someone in another part of the state. And when severe storms or flooding make travel harder, staying online can make it easier to keep care consistent. It can also help if you need evening appointments, want to compare payment options, or are trying to find a provider who feels like the right match. You can use the resources below to verify a license or find extra support if needed.

Online therapy in Tennessee: common questions

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

Start with the filters. Choose the main concern you want help with, then narrow by specialty, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and whether you want therapy, medication management, or both. Read a few profiles side by side and pay attention to approach, availability, fees, and whether the provider sounds like someone you would feel comfortable with.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

A few good questions are: Are you licensed in Tennessee and taking new telehealth clients? Have you worked with my concern and age group before? Do you take my insurance, or what is the self-pay rate? What does the first session usually look like? How often do you typically meet? What platform do you use, and what happens if the internet cuts out? It is also worth asking about cancellation policies, messaging between sessions, and what to do if you need more urgent support between appointments.

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

No. Your therapist does not have to live in Tennessee. For telehealth, what usually matters most is whether the provider can legally see you in the state where you are physically located during the session. If you will be in Tennessee for sessions, this page is a good place to start because it focuses on Tennessee-licensed providers. If you are traveling out of state for work, school, or vacation, tell the provider ahead of time. They may be able to keep the appointment, or they may need to reschedule depending on where you will be that day. If you split time between states, browse therapists licensed in multiple states.

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

Depending on the provider, you may find individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and testing and evaluations. Some providers offer one service, while others offer a mix, so it helps to filter by service type before you compare profiles.

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

Yes. If you want medication support, use the medication management filter. Medication management appointments are usually focused on symptoms, diagnosis, prescriptions, side effects, refill planning, and how a medication is working over time. Online therapy is different: it is usually focused more on coping skills, emotions, relationships, behavior patterns, and day-to-day support. Some practices offer both, sometimes with different clinicians or separate visits. If you need controlled substances prescribed, check with the provider before booking because telehealth prescribing can involve extra rules and not every prescriber handles it online.

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

A good place to start is Tennessee’s Behavioral Health Safety Net if you are uninsured, TennCare Behavioral Health Services if you have TennCare, the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services Helpline if you need help finding services, and National Alliance on Mental Illness Tennessee for support groups and referrals. If things feel urgent, Tennessee’s crisis system can also connect you to 24/7 help and statewide mobile crisis support. The official links are in the resources below.

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

Use the Tennessee Department of Health’s Licensure Verification tool. It is the official search site for the Health Related Boards, it is updated daily, and it lets you search by name and profession. If you already have a license number, that usually makes the search faster. The official verification link and the profession-specific board pages for social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and physician assistants are all in the resources below.

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

Coverage depends on your plan and the provider, so the practical step is to ask before you book. Check whether the provider is in-network, what your estimated out-of-pocket cost will be, whether the intake session is priced differently, and whether medication management visits are billed separately from therapy. If a provider is private pay or out-of-network, ask whether they offer a sliding scale or can give you a superbill. If you have TennCare, the official TennCare Behavioral Health Services link is in the resources 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.

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

Yes. In Tennessee, online therapy can be especially helpful if you are matching with a provider in another part of the state, trying to avoid a long drive, or juggling work, school, or caregiving. It is also practical in a state that crosses Central Time and Eastern Time, because you can compare more providers without limiting yourself to one city, but you do need to confirm the appointment clock time. And when severe storms or flooding affect travel or your routine, online sessions can be easier to keep. It is worth asking whether your provider offers a phone backup if video fails.

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 right away.
