“You love your kids, but somewhere along the way, you lost track of yourself. Between sleepless nights and carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs, your own pain got pushed aside.

Amber Teubert

Serenity Therapy, LLC

LMHC, LPC, LCPC, LPCC

Licensed In:
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin
“So many of the adults I work with are high-functioning on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside. Anxiety has become a constant companion. Something from the past still shows up in unexpected ways, affecting relationships, sense of safety, or how they see themselves. And no matter what they accomplish, it never feels like enough. If you're hard on yourself, caught in cycles of perfectionism, or carrying more than you let on, you're not alone. I work with adults navigating anxiety, healing from trauma, and untangling the belief that their worth depends on what they produce or how perfectly they perform. My approach is warm and collaborative, and I'll meet you exactly where you are.”

“I work with cycle breakers: adults, couples, parents, and families who are ready to stop repeating patterns they inherited, survived, or learned. My clients are often insightful and high-functioning, but feel stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship conflict, parenting triggers, shame, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, shutdown, or emotional reactivity. They may be healing from complex trauma, family-of-origin wounds, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety or rage, infertility, pregnancy loss, attachment wounds, or relational trauma. Many have done therapy before and understand where the pattern came from, but still feel like insight alone has not helped them change it.”

Finding online care in Wisconsin

Online therapy can be a practical option in Wisconsin when the right provider is not nearby or when getting to an office every week feels harder than it should. You may be in a larger city, a suburb, a college town, or a smaller community where your choices feel limited. Telehealth lets you look across the state instead of staying boxed into one local area. That can help when you want a therapist with experience in a specific issue, evening availability, a certain therapy style, or a language match. It can also make care easier to keep up with when winter weather, long drives, work schedules, child care, or travel time make in-person appointments less realistic. As you compare providers, it helps to look at insurance participation, private-pay rates, medication management options, and whether the provider is currently accepting new clients. If you want extra help checking a license or finding public support options, use the official Wisconsin resources below.

Online therapy in Wisconsin: common questions

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

Start by narrowing the list to what matters most to you right now. That might be anxiety, trauma, relationships, child or teen care, medication management, insurance, language, or appointment times that fit your schedule. Then read a few profiles closely. Look for signs of fit such as the therapist’s style, the age groups they work with, whether they offer video or phone visits, and whether they are taking new clients. Because this is online care, you can search across Wisconsin instead of limiting yourself to your immediate area. A good next step is to save two or three providers who seem promising and compare cost, availability, and approach before you book.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

Ask the questions that will help you picture what working together would actually feel like. You might ask whether they have experience with your concerns, what sessions are like, whether they take your insurance, what private-pay rates look like, how often they usually meet with clients, and whether they offer evening or daytime appointments. It is also a good idea to ask how they handle cancellations, whether they offer phone sessions if needed, and what happens if you travel out of Wisconsin during care.

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

No. Your therapist does not have to live in Wisconsin. The bigger issue is whether they are allowed to see clients who are physically located in Wisconsin when the session happens. If you travel out of state, even briefly, tell your provider ahead of time. They may need to be licensed or otherwise permitted to work in the state where you are sitting that day. If you spend time in more than one state, this page may help: find a therapist licensed in multiple states.

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

Depending on the provider, you may be able to find individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and testing and evaluations. Availability can vary by provider, age group, and service type. Some evaluations may begin online and still include additional steps if needed.

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

Yes. If you want a prescriber, use the services provided filter when you search. Medication management is usually focused on evaluation, prescribing, refill decisions, side effects, and medication changes. Online therapy is more focused on emotions, coping skills, patterns, relationships, and long-term goals. Some people use one or the other, and many use both together. If you need a controlled substance prescribed, check with the provider before booking, because there may be additional restrictions on prescribing these through telehealth.

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

A practical place to start is 211 Wisconsin if you want help finding local services quickly. If you may qualify for public coverage, look into BadgerCare Plus and use Covering Wisconsin for free help understanding plans and enrollment. If you need more ongoing community-based support, Comprehensive Community Services may be worth asking about. National Alliance on Mental Illness Wisconsin also offers support, education, and helpful guides for navigating care. If the situation feels urgent, use Wisconsin crisis resources or 9-8-8 right away. The official links are in the resources below.

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

Use the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services LicensE License Lookup. Search the provider’s name and check that the credential type and status match what you expect. That is the official public verification tool for Wisconsin-regulated health credentials. If you want more detail, the board pages for social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, physicians, nurses, and physician assistants are listed in the resources below.

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

Often, yes, but the details depend on your plan and the provider. Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus allow telehealth, including behavioral health services. For other insurance plans, it is still important to check whether the provider is in network, whether video and phone visits are covered the same way, and what your copay or deductible will be. If you are paying out of pocket, ask about the session fee, sliding-scale spots, and whether the provider can give you a superbill for possible 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 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 Wisconsin that can make online therapy especially practical?

Yes. Online therapy can be especially helpful when winter weather, long drives, commute time, child care, shift work, or school schedules make it harder to get to an office consistently. It can also make it easier to keep seeing the right provider when the best fit is in another part of Wisconsin. For many people, that means fewer missed appointments and a wider choice of therapists whose specialty, hours, and payment options actually fit real life.

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 at 9-8-8 right away.
