“Therapy with me is collaborative, down-to-earth, and often includes humor. I believe growth happens when we can be honest about what's working, what's not, and the role we play in our own patterns. I will support and challenge you when needed. If you're looking for someone who simply nods along, I'm probably not the right therapist. My goal is to help you gain insight, shift perspectives, reconnect with your authentic self, take action and create lasting change. My approach blends traditional talk therapy with integrative and holistic practices. Depending on your needs, our work may include exploring thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, physical well-being, stress patterns, and the mind-body connection. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches as well as complementary and energy-based modalities when they align with your goals and beliefs. I value treating the whole person rather than focusing only on symptoms. Because every client is different, I tailor therapy to your personality, strengths, goals, and life experiences.”

M.S. LPC-Associate

“In sessions, my approach is straightforward. I will hold your hand if that will help you, and guide you gently to your answer. But more often than not, my clients prefer someone who helps them see things clearly, without placing blame on any person in particular. Our sessions may have tears, but they will also have laughter. Emotions are to be processed, not bottled up. Honesty is everything, and the more comfortable my clients are, the more honest they are with both me and themselves. I view every single person as valuable, and the life they've experienced is framed through this idea. I will sit with you and help you find answers on why you struggle, or why others seem to always point blame at you. We will go through your past and decide what we want to take away from the story of your journey through life.”

“My approach centers on helping you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust, and create more sustainable ways of living. I primarily practice talk therapy, but sessions aren’t just sitting and analyzing. We might incorporate movement, experiential exercises, or expressive tools when it’s helpful. I bring curiosity, directness, and my own self into the room, and I welcome your full personality there too. I practice from a body-affirming lens and aim to create an inclusive space that respects and uplifts all identities and cultures. Together, we make sense of your patterns and find realistic, embodied ways forward.”

Sessions with Jess

LCSW, CST

“I approach every case with an open, curious mind and an eagerness to establish trust and be helpful. Once we hit our stride, my sessions tend to be dynamic and engaging. I follow your thought process and tune in to your emotions as a guide for what to ask more about, for what insight I might reflect back, that you would be invited to consider something from a new angle. As the expert on your life, you have the power to lead us in the direction you want - and I am also ready to act as an experienced guide with my own expertise to offer you as you work to fulfill personal goals. I am also a ketamine-assisted therapist with a strong belief in the healing power of (legal) psychedelic therapy.”

Breaking Cycles Therapy LLC

LMFT

“Therapy with me always starts with getting to know one another in a compassionate, non-judgmental way so we can build a trusting relationship in order to grow and heal. I use person-centered and family systems approaches combined with mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills. I recognize the effect intergenerational trauma and chronic stress can have and am committed to supporting children and adults to break the cycles from their past. This is something I am committed to on personal, professional, and societal levels. While it can be scary to talk about past traumas and stressors, once we are able to face and overcome our fears and learn new ways of coping, a great weight lifts and we are able to better enjoy our lives, families, and create healthier communities.”

Seek Anchor

LPC

“I believe many of our struggles make sense when viewed in the context of what we've lived through. Rather than asking "What's wrong with you?" I help clients explore "What happened, and how did you learn to adapt?" Therapy with me is collaborative, curious, and grounded. I integrate nervous system awareness, somatic approaches, parts work, attachment theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed practices to help clients understand both their stories and their lived experience in the present. Sessions often involve slowing down enough to notice patterns, emotions, body sensations, and protective responses that have operated automatically for years. My goal isn't to help you become someone different. It's to help you create enough safety and self-trust that you can stop organizing your life around old adaptations and begin making choices from a place that feels more authentically yours.”

Therapy with Annelise

LMFT

“I want you to walk away from each session with something concrete you can use. My style is relaxed and straightforward. No therapy-speak, no judgement. Just real, concrete work. I work at a pace that feels safe to you. At times, I will nudge, but in a gentle way that aligns with your stated goals. I blend Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Strategic Therapy, and Humanistic methods to meet you exactly where you are. That means we're not just talking about your problems. We're actively working on them. You'll learn to stop fighting what you're feeling and start understanding what it's telling you, while building skills that actually hold up in daily life. Clients have shared that they felt fully accepted without judgment and that I showed up as a true advocate for them. Not just a neutral observer, but someone genuinely invested in their growth. Clients consistently describe me as thoughtful, present, and genuinely curious about their world.”

“I approach healing from a mind-body connection perspective to help process stressors and trauma, and may blend mindfulness-based techniques, narrative therapy, parts work, and expressive arts therapies into the work when needed. I may also incorporate another holistic approach called Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy, which can help identify and transform patterns of mood fluctuations, self-care habits, relational disconnection, self-critical perfectionism, and environmental stressors including systemic injustices, which often effects nervous system regulation and mood stability, self-worth, and vitality.”

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.
