Amber Jagt

Ambient Family Counseling

LMFT Associate

“I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process; therefore, I adjust each session to fit your unique needs and goals. My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from a variety of evidence-based practices. With younger clients, I incorporate Play and Expressive Arts to help explore and process big feelings in developmentally appropriate ways. I also work from a Family Systems perspective, helping families understand how mental health can impact the entire family dynamic. I support clients in developing a deeper understanding of what's happening in their minds and bodies. Our sessions together will help you explore your emotions, challenge negative thinking and behavior patterns , learn coping skills, improve connection and communication, provide a space for self-reflection, and work towards achieving your goals. This space is dedicated solely for you, so you can show up as your true authentic self without judgment. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you start - just a willingness to show up is enough.”

Dr. Michael Grey

Grey Insight

PsyD, LMFT

“My therapeutic approach is rooted in Jungian depth psychology, which draws on psychodynamic principles and Bowen Family Systems theory. This perspective enables me to view an individual's challenges not only personally but also within the broader context of their family and societal systems. I help my patients unravel and address deep-rooted issues by bringing unconscious patterns to the forefront, fostering meaningful and lasting change. Come as you are, no masking, or code switching required.”

Jennifer McAdams

Jennifer McAdams, Ph.D., PLLC

PhD Psychologist

“The main theories I draw from include: Autistic Centered Therapy, existential, humanistic, interpersonal process, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), trauma work, and parts work. At times I draw from some aspects of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Gottman Method, attachment theory, and psychodynamic theory, among others, adjusting them to suit neurodivergent clients. I strive to conduct therapy based on the latest and most sound psychological theory and research as well as information from the Autistic community.”

“I use an integrative therapy approach to best meet the needs of every individual. I am trained in EMDR and pull from a wide range of trauma-informed therapeutic models, including cognitive and behavioral, systems, solution-focused and person-centered. No one model works for every person, and my goal is always to meet the needs of each unique person.”

Z. Hamilton Avery

Therapy with Z, LLC

LCSW, BC-TMH, TIYT

“I believe therapy can be both deeply supportive and actively useful. Some days you may need space to talk, feel, laugh, cry, vent, or simply be understood. Other days we may examine a pattern, practice a skill, work with a difficult thought, explore what matters to you, or notice what is happening in your body. I draw from person-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, compassion-focused and mindfulness-based approaches, adapting them rather than following a formula. I value curiosity over judgment, compassion over shame, and collaboration over telling you how to live. We regularly check whether therapy is helping and change course when something is not working.”

Ashley Hamm

Hamm Counseling

LPC

“My approach is centered around ensuring that you release self-judgment and build more inner kindness and self-acceptance. I also focus on helping you identify your own internal values, so that you have a stronger sense of being guided by an inner compass, rather than the expectations of others. We'll work to unlearn excessive guilt and shame to give you more freedom to be present in your life. I want therapy to be a space where we can examine the past to help you heal from the experiences that have hurt you, but also where you can envision the future that you want and start to take steps towards that future.”

Reesa Morala | Intensive Couples Therapy

Embrace Renewal Therapy

LMFT

“Intensive Couples Therapy gives you real-time practice on the issues that matter most, so you can make progress and feel the difference right away. I'm not here to be your forever therapist—I'm here to help you create change that lasts long after our intensive is over. I use research-backed methods that cut through the noise and help you rebuild trust, communicate clearly, and reconnect. In just 2–3 days, you can make the kind of progress that usually takes months of weekly therapy. I use the research-backed Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you move from disconnection to a more fulfilling, trusting relationship with deeper connection.”

Keenberg Counseling LLC

LPC

“A session with me will focus on finding how details of average day-to-day life fit into larger patterns, giving rise to new meaning and insight. I provide psychoeducation regarding important aspects relevant to what you share so that you can identify these patterns and build upon this insight, draw your values into focus, and make the confusing parts of life better understood according to your true values. (Specifically, I use therapy modalities of CBT, EMDR, Rogerian person-centered therapy, DBT, parts work, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gottman Method couples therapy, and Structural family therapy.)”

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.
