“I work with preteens, teens, adults, and seniors navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. My clients often seek support for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions, as well as issues related to self-esteem, identity, grief, and adjustment. I also work with individuals managing more complex concerns such as trauma, OCD, ADHD, eating disorders, and chronic health or pain conditions. Many of my clients are looking to better understand themselves, improve coping skills, and make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space and tailor treatment to each individual, helping clients build on their strengths, improve decision-making, and develop practical strategies to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.”

“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.”

“I work with adults, couples, and families who want to better understand themselves and the patterns shaping their emotional and relational lives. Clients I work with may feel anxious, self-critical, disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck in recurring relationship dynamics, or unsure why insight alone has not led to change. Some people come to me after years of therapy and self-reflection; others are only beginning to make sense of what they have been carrying. I often work with developmental and attachment trauma, long-standing patterns of shame or over-responsibility, difficulty with closeness, and the impact of early relationships on how clients experience themselves and others in the present.”

“It’s hard to feel like you don’t have all the words to describe what is going on for you. And the vulnerability of pain, from whatever the emotional or physical source, can be disorienting. Especially when you are the one typically who holds it together. But instead of holding it together, you feel like you are all over the place. Your emotions. How you are responding to people. What you are trying to do to cope. You do not know exactly what you want or need, or even who you are sometimes. And it feels like you should have it more figured out by now. In fact, it is amid pain and uncertainty that growth most often occurs. Not when we are ready. Not when things feel settled. Right now. In all our messiness and contradictions. You’ve been trying to outrun the pain, outsmart it, or just ignore it. But when you meet with me, you will start to see that pain is not a space to escape, it’s a place to begin. And you will get the sense that I’ve been here before. Because I have. Personally, and professionally. And I am unafraid to join you in profound feelings of sadness and pain.”

“I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

I also work with college students, young adults, athletes, executives, and other professionals seeking improved resilience, focus, confidence, and performance under pressure. My clients are often thoughtful, motivated, and looking to better understand themselves and find greater purpose as they make meaningful changes in their lives. Many of the individuals I work with are high-functioning on the outside, but privately struggling with stress, self-doubt, or feeling stuck. I frequently work with those who are driven and capable, yet find themselves dealing with burnout, perfectionism, or difficulty sustaining focus and momentum. These individuals often want not just symptom relief, but a deeper understanding of how to perform—and live—at their best.”

Finding online care in Vermont

Online therapy can be a practical option in Vermont when you want more flexibility in how you find care. In a state with smaller towns, longer drives, and winter weather that can make travel less predictable, being able to meet with a provider online can make it easier to keep appointments consistent. It can also open up more choices across different parts of the state, so you are not limited to whoever happens to be nearest to you.

That added flexibility can be helpful if you are looking for a therapist with experience in a specific area, need appointments that fit around work or family responsibilities, or want to compare insurance, rates, and availability before getting started. Instead of building your search around proximity alone, you can focus on finding someone who feels like a good match for your needs. If you want to verify a provider’s license or look for extra support options, you can use the official resources below.

Online therapy in Vermont: common questions

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

Start with what matters most to you. That might be the issue you want help with, the kind of therapy you prefer, whether you want a therapist or a prescriber, or the insurance you use. Then use the filters to narrow the list and read a few profiles closely. Look for experience with your concerns, the provider's specialties, language, fees, and availability. It can also help to make a shortlist of a few providers and compare them side by side.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

Ask practical questions that help you picture working together. Good questions to include: Are you licensed in Vermont? Have you worked with the concerns I’m bringing in? What does your approach look like in sessions? Do you take my insurance, offer self-pay, or have a sliding-scale rate? How long is the wait for a first appointment? Do you offer evening or lunch-hour sessions? What platform do you use? What happens if the video cuts out? If you want medication management, ask how evaluations, refills, and follow-ups are handled. If you travel often, ask about that too before you book.

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

No. Your therapist does not have to live in Vermont. What usually matters most is where you are physically located during the session. Vermont’s telehealth rules say out-of-state health professionals treating a patient or client located in Vermont need Vermont telehealth authorization or Vermont licensure, and Vermont medical guidance also says the practice occurs where the patient is located at the time of the visit. If you will be out of state for vacation, school, work, or an extended stay, tell your provider before the appointment so they can confirm whether they can still see you. If you travel between states often, the find a therapist licensed in multiple states page can help you look for broader options.

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

You may find individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and testing and evaluations through telehealth in Vermont. Telehealth may include live video visits, and audio-only phone visits when appropriate. Some evaluations or specialized services may still include in-person pieces, so it is worth asking before you book.

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

Yes. If you want a prescriber, choose medication management in the services provided filter. Online therapy usually focuses on improving relationships, coping skills, identifying patterns, and working toward your goals. Medication management is different: it focuses on assessment, prescribing when appropriate, monitoring side effects, dose changes, and follow-up. Some people use therapy only, some use medication only, and many use both together. If you need a controlled substance prescribed, ask the provider before booking whether they can handle that through telehealth, because extra rules can apply.

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

A good starting point is Vermont Care Partners, which connects people to local community mental health agencies across the state, and Vermont 211, which can help if you are not sure where to start. Green Mountain Care is Vermont’s Medicaid program and is worth checking if you may qualify for public insurance. Vermont Medicaid also offers certified community-based integrated health centers to serve all Vermonters seeking help and offer sliding-scale options for people who are uninsured or underinsured. The official links are in the resources below.

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

Use Vermont’s official lookup tools. The Vermont Secretary of State Office of Professional Regulation has a Find a Professional search for many professions, and the profession pages below cover social workers, clinical mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, nurses, and related licenses. For physicians and physician assistants, use the Vermont Board of Medical Practice’s Look Up A Health Professional tool. The Board also notes that other professionals, including nurses and osteopathic physicians, are regulated by the Office of Professional Regulation. The official links are in the resources below.

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

Often, yes. Vermont law says health plans must cover telemedicine to the same extent as in-person care, and that also applies to Medicaid and other public programs. The law also says your deductible, copayment, or coinsurance for telemedicine cannot be higher than for the same in-person service. But your real out-of-pocket cost still depends on whether the provider is in-network, what your deductible looks like, and whether the visit is video or phone. Before you book, ask whether the provider is in-network, whether they bill insurance directly, what your expected session cost is, and whether they can give you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.

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 live video. 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 rules about where sessions can take place, so it is smart to ask ahead if privacy or location may be an issue.

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

Yes. Vermont’s Department of Health says access is especially important for people living far from larger medical centers, and state travel guidance says road closures and delays can affect major routes while local roads may also be impacted. That can make online therapy especially practical if you live in a smaller town, have a long drive, or want to keep appointments steady during bad weather or other travel problems. It can also make it easier to choose a provider anywhere in Vermont instead of limiting yourself to whoever is closest.

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 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline right away.
