“I work with high-achieving adults—especially AAPI, mixed-race, and multicultural individuals—who are exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else. You might be functioning well on the outside while running on empty inside. You've internalized high expectations, taken on caretaking roles in your family or community, and struggled to set boundaries without guilt. You may be dealing with anxiety that doesn't turn off, burnout that goes deeper than needing a vacation, or a sense of not quite belonging. You might also feel caught between cultural worlds, unsure where you fit. If you're ready to stop shrinking, start understanding your patterns, and feel at home in your own life again, you are welcome here.”

Deep See Wellness

PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC

Licensed In:
California, Florida, Texas, Washington
“I work with adults who want to better understand what’s driving the way they feel—not simply manage symptoms. Many of my patients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, burnout, chronic stress, sleep concerns, brain fog, chronic pain, or feeling “stuck” despite trying traditional approaches. I also work with individuals interested in ketamine-assisted therapy, integrative psychiatry, functional medicine, and optimizing their overall mental and physical well-being. My approach is especially well suited for people who want a collaborative, personalized experience and are curious about how the brain, body, hormones, nutrition, nervous system, lifestyle, and past experiences may all be connected. I believe there is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution, and I work with each person to develop a thoughtful plan that reflects their individual needs, goals, and comfort level.”

Finding online care in Washington

Online therapy can be a strong option in Washington because finding accessible care is often about more than physical distance alone. Depending on where you live, getting to an in-person appointment may involve ferry schedules, bridge traffic, mountain pass conditions, long drives between towns, or a packed commute across a metro area.

Virtual care lets you widen your search beyond your immediate area and focus on who actually feels like the best fit. That can matter if you want support for trauma, parenting stress, relationship issues, faith questions, identity concerns, or care for children and teens. It can also make scheduling easier if you work shifts, share a car, take care of family members, or need a provider with early, evening, or lunchtime appointments. As you compare options, look at fit, availability, insurance participation, and self-pay fees, not just geography. You can use the resources below to verify licenses or find extra support if you need it.

Online therapy in Washington: common questions

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

Start with what you want help with most, then narrow from there. You might filter by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, grief, or medication support. After that, use the filters for age group, therapy modality, language, insurance, and whether you want talk therapy or medication management. Read a few profiles closely so you can compare approach, experience, availability, and cost. It often helps to make a short list of two or three providers who seem like a realistic fit, then reach out with a few practical questions before booking.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

Ask whether they are accepting new online clients in Washington, what issues they commonly help with, what sessions usually look like, and how often they typically recommend meeting. It is also a good idea to ask about insurance, rates, cancellation policies, evening or weekend openings, and how they handle communication between sessions. If fit matters in a specific way, ask about things like language, cultural background, faith sensitivity, identity-affirming care, couples work, or whether they work with children, teens, or families.

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

Your therapist does not necessarily have to live in Washington. What matters more is whether they are authorized to treat clients who are physically located in Washington during the session. If you travel out of state, even briefly, your therapist may or may not be able to keep seeing you while you are away because telehealth rules usually depend on where the client is physically located at the time of the appointment. If you travel often or split time between states, bring that up early. You can also browse find a therapist licensed in multiple states.

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

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. Availability can vary by provider, training, and service type. Some services may be fully online, while others may include a mix of virtual and in-person steps.

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

Yes. If you want help with prescriptions, look for medication management providers such as psychiatrists, advanced registered nurse practitioners, or other prescribers offering telehealth in Washington. Medication management is different from therapy. It usually focuses on evaluation, diagnosis, prescriptions, side effects, refills, and checking how a medication is working over time. Therapy focuses more on emotions, relationships, coping skills, behavior patterns, and ongoing support through conversation. Some people use both. If you need controlled substances prescribed, check with the provider before booking about whether they can do that through telehealth, because additional prescribing restrictions may apply.

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

A good place to start is Apple Health, Washington’s Medicaid program, if you qualify. Washington State Health Care Authority resources explain how Apple Health mental health coverage works and how to find providers in your plan’s network. If you need immediate support, Washington also has statewide crisis resources, local crisis lines, and the Recovery Help Line. For broader community support, Washington 211 and the National Alliance on Mental Illness Washington chapter can help you find local programs and guidance. You can find the official links in the resources below.

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

The simplest first step is the Washington State Department of Health Provider Credential Search, which is the state’s primary source for license verification and is updated daily. For social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, and many psychologists, the Washington State Department of Health behavioral health licensing pages are also useful. For advanced registered nurse practitioners, use the Washington State Board of Nursing resources. For psychiatrists and physician assistants, use the Washington Medical Commission resources listed below.

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

Many Washington health plans cover online mental health care when they would cover the same service in person. Your actual cost can still depend on whether the provider is in network, your deductible, your copay, and other plan rules. If you have Apple Health and are enrolled in a managed care plan, you usually need a provider in your plan’s network. Phone-only visits may be covered in some situations, but coverage can depend on your plan and whether you already have an established relationship with the provider. Before you book, ask whether the provider takes your insurance, bills it directly, and what you would owe if you use self-pay instead.

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. Using a private room, headphones, and a personal device instead of a public or work network can also help protect your privacy.

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

Yes. In Washington, in-person care can be harder to keep up with when ferry schedules run long, mountain passes are difficult, commutes are unpredictable, or wildfire smoke affects daily life. Online therapy can be especially useful if you live in a rural area, on or near island ferry routes, east of the Cascades but want a specialist elsewhere in the state, or in a busy metro area where travel time adds stress to your week. It can also make therapy easier to fit around school pickup, shift work, caregiving, or unpredictable weather.

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. Washington’s crisis lines page is also a good place to find local crisis options.
