Evelyn Pavlova

Dr. Ev's Oasis

LMHC, PhD

“My approach is grounded in the belief that fear, grief, anxiety, and life’s deeper questions are part of being human, not signs that something is wrong with you. I don’t see people as broken or needing to be fixed. I believe there is already wisdom and resilience within you, and my role is to help you reconnect with it. Sessions with me are real, relaxed, and deeply human. Some days are emotional and deep, others are reflective, practical, or even filled with laughter. You don’t have to show up perfectly here. I blend practical tools with deeper exploration. We may work through anxious thoughts and fears, process grief and life transitions, build self-trust, and reconnect with meaning and purpose. When helpful, I also bring in a metaphysical perspective and explore questions around consciousness, the soul, and deeper meaning in an open-minded, grounded way.”

Jenny Logan

Transcend Counseling Chicago

MSW/LCSW

“Therapy with me is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and respect for your lived experience. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to understand yourself more deeply—at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is trauma-informed and relational, meaning I attend closely to how past experiences, attachment patterns, and relationships influence the way you feel, cope, and connect in the present. Together, we look beyond symptoms to explore the underlying emotional patterns and unmet needs that shape your experiences. I believe healing happens through safe, attuned relationships, and therapy can become a space where new ways of relating—to yourself and to others—are gently practiced and strengthened.”

Kristin Padera

Padera Therapy & Wellness

LCPC, EMDR, PMH-C,

“My approach is grounded, honest, and deeply human. I show up as a real person (no therapist mask, minimal clinical jargon) and I invite you to do the same. Together, we’ll slow down, make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, and build tools that actually work in real life (not just on paper). I blend evidence-based approaches like DBT, CBT, and trauma-informed care with mindfulness, somatic work, and yoga-based practices to support mind, body, and soul healing. I’m also a neuro-affirming provider, which means I recognize that what works for neurotypical folks doesn’t always work for neurodivergent minds—and that’s okay. We’ll work together to find approaches that actually fit you, your brain, and your life. I’ll listen when something doesn’t work and adjust with you, not above you. Therapy with me is a process of co-creation, curiosity, and respect for your unique way of being in the world.”

Flourishing Future Wellness

LPC, NCC, PsyD trainee

“Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and focused on understanding why problems continue rather than simply managing symptoms. I believe lasting change happens when we understand the patterns keeping us stuck. Together we’ll identify those patterns, learn new skills, and gradually practice responding differently. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Inference Based Cognitive Therapy (I-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness. Sessions are supportive while also gently challenging you toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable.”

Karen Lucas

Radiant Health Center

LMHC, LMP

“My approach to counseling starts with social justice, neurodiverse affirming, and trauma-informed care. My style is conversational. The theories I apply are the integration of systemic, somatic, attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness, and relational. I believe we learn and change in the context of our relationships. It is important to explore the impact that systems have had on you. These systems include your family (attachment styles), communities that you grew up in, and past and current relationships. Once we better understand how your attachment style, sensory profile, emotional, physical, and neurological bodies have been impacted by these systems, we bring in awareness and self-compassion. Together through our relationship, we will create healthy change to help you lead a thriving life that is filled with joy.”

About LGBTQ+ Affirming

This page helps you find licensed mental health providers who offer online care for LGBTQ+ clients. Whether you are looking for affirming therapy, support around identity, relationships, family stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, or medication management, telehealth can expand your options beyond the nearest zip code. Online care depends on where a provider is licensed and where you are physically located during sessions, so start by selecting the state or states where you will be during appointments. Then narrow your results with filters like service type, therapy modality, language, age group, and insurance.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy for LGBTQ+ Support

How do I use this page to find an online provider for LGBTQ+ support?

Start by choosing the state or states where you will be physically located during sessions. Then use filters to narrow the list by service type, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and more. Read provider profiles to see whether they mention LGBTQ+ affirming care, experience with your concerns, and the kinds of virtual services they offer. That makes it easier to compare options and choose a good fit.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask whether the provider has experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and whether they support the issues you want help with, such as identity exploration, coming out, relationships, family conflict, trauma, anxiety, depression, or gender-affirming support. You can also ask about scheduling, fees, insurance, session format, and what first appointments are like. A short consultation can help you decide whether the provider feels affirming, practical, and easy to talk to.

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

Your therapist does not usually need to live in your state, but they generally need to be licensed for the state where you are physically located during the appointment. That is why your location during each session matters. If you travel or split time between states, check whether the provider can legally continue care. You can also look for providers who are licensed in more than one state here: https://therapyexpanded.com/find-a-therapist-licensed-in-multiple-states.

Does insurance cover online therapy for LGBTQ+ support, and how does payment usually work?

Many providers accept insurance for online therapy, but coverage depends on your plan, the provider, and the service you receive. Some providers are in-network, while others provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Before booking, check the provider’s profile for insurance details, session fees, and payment policies. It is also smart to confirm telehealth mental health benefits directly with your insurance company so you know what to expect.

What technology or privacy setup do I need for virtual sessions?

Most online therapy appointments work best in a private place with a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is often ideal, though a phone or tablet may also work depending on the provider and platform. Many sessions happen by video, but some providers may also use phone calls, secure messaging, texting, or email depending on the service. Providers may have their own policies about session location and privacy, so check ahead if that may be an issue.

What types of telehealth services are available for LGBTQ+ support?

Available services may include individual therapy for one-on-one support, couples counseling for relationship concerns, family therapy for family conflict or communication, group therapy for shared support, child or teen therapy for younger clients, and medication management when medication is part of care. Use the service filters to find providers who offer the format you want.

When is online therapy for LGBTQ+ support not the right choice?

Online therapy may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. It may also be harder if you need in-person services or frequent hands-on support. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
