Dr. Briana Weisner

Wise Mind Psychotherapy, PLLC

PsyD

“My approach to therapy is often rooted in and incorporates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). A quick peek into what sessions with me might involve: an unbiased, nonjudgmental place to express yourself, building specific coping skills to deal with stressors, psychoeducation, identifying and restructuring negative thinking styles, changing maladaptive behaviors, learning assertiveness skills, identifying and working towards important values in your life, building insight into unhelpful cyclical patterns, increasing self-esteem and confidence, and recognizing your own strengths.”

“Sessions with me tend to be a collaboration around working towards your longer term goals and hopes, and giving space to what is pressing in the moment. I use the first few sessions with folks to get to know you as person, the stories you carry, and what pieces of the past might show up in our work together. With longer term work, I seek to be a space to invite curiosity around our patterns of living, explore what no longer serves you, and envision different pathways forward. I primarily work from a relational and systemic approach that centers Narrative therapy, Emotions Focused therapy, Somatic work, and Compassion Focused Mindfulness. My lens can incorporate information we receive from our emotions, our physical sensations, and our internal beliefs about ourselves and expectations we are holding to understand what might benefit from shifting or from a change in perspective.”

Margaret Bean

ABC Counseling Inc.

LMFT-S

“My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, honest, and human. I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to show up fully — not just the polished version of themselves. Sessions with me are a mix of validation, insight, practical tools, gentle challenges, and the occasional humor when it’s needed most. I’m not the kind of therapist who silently nods while you spiral alone. We work together to understand patterns, process emotions, build healthier coping skills, and create lasting change that actually feels sustainable in real life. I pull from attachment-based therapy, CBT, trauma-informed approaches, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and emotionally focused techniques to meet clients where they are. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, improve relationships, regulate emotions, and feel more connected, grounded, and empowered in your everyday life.”

“I work from a trauma-informed, Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed approach, and collaborate with my clients on exploring goals and intentions for their therapy journey. A session might look like: discussing and navigating trauma, taking a look at boundaries, assessing your relationship with yourself and self-esteem, or cultivating space for self-care and self-compassion.”

Ember Psychotherapy Collective

“I draw from IFS, DBT, and attachment-based approaches — not because they're boxes to check, but because they actually help you make sense of what's happening, not just talk about it. What matters more than the models is how therapy feels: collaborative, structured when helpful, and grounded in approaches proven to support real change.”

“I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be honest, curious, and understood without judgment. I help clients explore the deeper beliefs and experiences that shape how they see themselves and respond to the world. We may use EMDR, CBT, and Adlerian therapy, including negative core belief and “child self” work, to better understand where patterns come from and create new ways of responding. My approach is collaborative, attachment-focused, and grounded in your strengths and goals.”

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.
