Dr. Heather Browne, PsyD, LMFT

PsyD, LMFT

“Dr. Heather Browne PsyD, LMFT, best selling author of the award winning Speaking with the Heart and TedX speaker helps people recognize the power of communication.  It is one of our most important skills that we have, and yet we don’t consider our understanding, approach, belief, and therefore, miss our possibilities.  Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do.  Utilizing this revolutionary awareness has allowed her to transform communication within self and within all other types of relationship.  This is the hidden key to acceptance.  And this is her mission to share.”

“Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded. I bring warmth and directness to help folks slow down, untangle and understand patterns, and make meaningful changes. While my sessions are structured enough to feel productive, I also incorporate space for processing and reflection. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness, while also incorporating relational and insight-oriented work. When working with clients navigating OCD, I focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) or Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT). To help you work toward the changes you're striving for, we'll build practical tools and explore the deeper beliefs and pressures that might be keeping you stuck.”

“I believe that counseling is an art and so I adapt my approach to best fit each client's needs. Therapy with me focuses on creating a collaborative and safe space where you feel seen and heard. My approach blends narrative and acceptance and commitment therapies. In counseling we work together to explore your story and deconstruct problems, concerns or situations. Throughout counseling we will work towards reconstructing your story to fit the person you are and would like to become. During the counseling process I use some somatic practices alongside building tools that fit for you. I also enjoy incorporating eco-wellness into my practice.”

“My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and collaborative. My primary specialty is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based method developed by an EMDR-trained therapist that processes trauma without requiring you to relive every painful detail. I also draw from ACT, CBT, DBT, somatic approaches, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, always tailored to where you are. I think of therapy as a real conversation, not a performance. Honesty, consent, and pacing matter, especially in trauma work.”

NeuroBloom Counseling Columbus

“My approach is collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming, and focused on understanding the whole person rather than simply addressing symptoms. Sessions are conversational and individualized, with room to explore patterns, emotions, relationships, sensory experiences, executive functioning, nervous-system responses, and the ways your environment may be affecting you. I draw from evidence-informed therapeutic approaches while adapting them to the individual, because I don’t believe therapy should feel like a one-size-fits-all experience.”

Jennifer Schneider, LICSW

LICSW, LCSW

“My career began with working with children and families, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, individuals living with homelessness, and in program management. As a therapist, I have enjoyed helping individuals develop more effective coping skills, learn greater communication skills, and address the distress that come with experiencing trauma. My primary therapy method is EMDR. I also am trained in motivational interviewing, structural dissociation and have certification in cognitive-behavioral therapy for perinatal emotional complications. I encourage you to reach out to me if you feel we might be a good fit! Please note that I am currently not in-network with insurance companies, and I do accept out-of-network benefits, which you may have. A superbill for submitting for partial reimbursement easily provided upon request. I also accept Lyra benefits.”

Psy.D., Psychologist

“Clients appreciate my warm, engaging, active approach to therapy. Therapy isn’t just about addressing symptoms, it’s about building a trusting relationship where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I’ve learned that lasting change often begins with curiosity and self-awareness. When we understand the "why" behind our feelings and behaviors, new possibilities emerge. .”

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.
