About finding online care in this state

Searching for an online therapist in Virginia can open up more options than staying within a short drive of home. This page is here to help you find therapists licensed in Virginia who offer online care. Whether you are in Northern Virginia, Richmond, Hampton Roads, the Shenandoah Valley, or a smaller community, telehealth lets you compare providers across the state instead of limiting your search to whoever is closest. That makes it easier to focus on fit: the issues you want help with, the kind of support you want, and the style of care that feels right for you. You can narrow your search with filters for specialty, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and whether you are looking for a therapist, medication management, or both.

Many of my clients are used to performing at a high level, but feel stuck when it comes to navigating anxiety, decision fatigue, or conflict in close relationships. You may notice yourself overthinking, shutting down, or struggling to communicate clearly under pressure. In relationships, this can look like recurring arguments, disconnection, or feeling like you and your partner are no longer on the same page.

Hayley Rose

Haven and Bloom Therapy

MA, NCC, LPC

Licensed In:
Virginia
“You might be a high-achieving professional whose success feels hollow, or a performing artist whose anxiety goes deeper than stage nerves. Maybe you're untangling the invisible wounds left by a high-control religion, a dysfunctional family system, or an institution that normalized harm. Perhaps you've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too intense" — but what I see is someone who feels deeply and thinks critically in a world that didn't always make space for that. If you're ready to do real work (not just feel better temporarily), and you want a therapist who won't flinch at complexity, you might be exactly who I work with. I work well with academics, visual and performance artists, athletes, public servants, and anyone who feels like therapy”

LCSW

Licensed In:

“I work with neurodivergent adults navigating things like burnout, masking, depression, anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress and chronic illness including EDS, POTS and MCAS. Many of the people I work with are late-diagnosed or questioning whether they may be autistic and/or ADHD, and are trying to untangle years of feeling misunderstood, “too much,” or disconnected from their own needs. I often help clients explore patterns like rumination, perfectionism, people-pleasing, rejection sensitivity, shame, and chronic self-criticism while building more sustainable ways of coping and relating to themselves. I also support clients in navigating sensory needs, boundaries, identity exploration, burnout recovery, and the emotional impact of living in systems that were not designed with neurodivergent people in mind.”

Finding online care in Virginia

Online therapy can be especially practical in Virginia because getting to an office can look very different depending on where you live. In Northern Virginia, traffic and commuting can make a short appointment take much more time out of your day. In Hampton Roads, bridge-tunnel traffic can add another layer of unpredictability. And in mountain, valley, or more rural parts of the Commonwealth, distance, road conditions, and winter weather can make in-person care harder to keep consistent. Telehealth gives you room to look beyond the nearest office and compare Virginia-licensed providers across different parts of the state. That can be a real advantage if you are balancing work, classes, caregiving, or frequent travel within Virginia. As you browse, think about fit, current availability, session times, payment options, and whether you want therapy, medication management, or both. The Virginia resources below can also help you verify a license or find public and lower-cost support when needed.

Online therapy in Virginia: common questions

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

Start with the filters that matter most to you, such as specialty, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and whether you are looking for therapy or medication management. From there, read a few profiles closely and compare things like approach, availability, and whether the provider feels like a good match for what you want help with. It can be helpful to reach out to two or three people so you can compare fit before booking.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

A good place to start is asking whether the therapist is licensed to see clients in Virginia, whether they work with the concern you want help with, and what their style is like. You can also ask what the first few sessions usually involve, how scheduling works, and what to expect for cost, insurance, or self pay. Beyond logistics, it is okay to pay attention to how you feel in the conversation. Therapy is personal, and feeling comfortable with the therapist matters.

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

No. Your therapist does not have to live in Virginia. What matters is whether they are licensed, or otherwise allowed, to see you where you are physically located during the session. If you will be traveling, tell the provider before your appointment. Depending on where you are, they may be able to continue care, may need to reschedule, or may need multistate authority. This guide to therapists licensed in multiple states can help you plan ahead.

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

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. The right service depends on your needs, your goals, and what a provider offers through telehealth.

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

Yes. Some providers here offer medication management, some offer therapy, and some offer both. Medication management focuses on evaluating symptoms, prescribing when appropriate, monitoring side effects, and adjusting medication over time. Online therapy focuses on building coping skills, emotional support, and behavior change. Some people use one service, while others use both. If you need a controlled substance prescription, check directly with the provider, because telehealth prescribing rules and provider policies can vary.

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

A good starting point is Virginia’s DBHDS Find Help page, which points people to community programs and says help is available no matter your ability to pay. You can also look up your local Community Services Board, use 211 Virginia for community resources, or check NAMI Virginia for support groups, education, and local connections. If you are in crisis, call or text 988. The official links are included in the resources below.

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

Virginia’s Department of Health Professions has a public lookup tool where you can search a provider’s license and basic credential information. If you want to dig deeper by profession, the official board links can be listed in the resources section below as well.

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

Coverage varies by plan. Some plans cover telehealth mental health care, and Virginia Medicaid offers behavioral health services and telehealth options. The amount you pay can still depend on your network, deductible, copay, and the type of service you are booking. Before scheduling, ask whether the provider is in network, what you will owe per session, and whether they can provide a superbill if you plan to use out-of-network benefits.

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 some providers may also allow sessions by phone or tablet. Most telehealth therapy appointments happen by video. In some situations, phone calls, texting, or email may also be used as part of telehealth, depending on the provider, the type of service, and the platform they use. Many providers also have their own policies about where clients can attend sessions from, so it is a good idea to check with the provider ahead of time.

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 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 or text 988 right away.
