Alexis Byrne

Health and Healing Therapy

LPC

“Therapy with me will include learning Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, building self and emotional insight and awareness, developing new ways of communicating with those you most care about, and learning how to ask for what you need for yourself and others. In individual, family sessions, and group therapy my approach is person centered and collaborative. In addition to DBT I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).”

“I use a relational approach, as I believe that therapy is most effective when there is a trusting relationship between the therapist and client. I use both talk therapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and somatic therapy, including Brainspotting. Brainspotting works to heal traumatic and stressful experiences through a body focused approach, and can be helpful when talk therapy hasn't been successful.”

Rebecca Doppelt

Doppelt Family Therapy, Inc

LMFT

“I am a strength-based therapist. Many clinicians use a medical model, "what's wrong with you?" and then they seek to resolve it. A strength-based approach means I see you as so much more than your problems. We will zoom out to see your life in context. I will ask what's going well in addition to what you want to change. This avoids hyper-focusing on what feels bad and allows a broader perspective. I use attachment-focused EMDR (EMDRIA Certified & a Consultant). This approach can offer expedited in-depth healing from trauma for those who are candidates. CRM/TRM are somatic approaches I weave into sessions. This facilitates a connection between the mind and body. Sometimes soothing the nervous system can precede calming the mind. My relational approach means that my humor and personality are present in sessions. I'm directive which means I'll teach tools instead of "just listening."”

Laura Lyn Zane-Nwagbaroacha

Sage Synergy Counseling and Wellness

LMHC

“My approach is collaborative, curious, and grounded in both clinical evidence and genuine respect for your lived experience. I don't believe therapy is about fixing who you are. I believe it's about understanding yourself deeply enough that you can stop abandoning yourself to meet other people's expectations and begin building a life that truly fits. Our work together often explores identity, nervous system regulation, trauma, relationships, boundaries, burnout, and the beliefs you've inherited about who you "should" be. Rather than telling you what your truth is, I help you develop the discernment to discover what is true for you. We'll question old assumptions, notice the patterns that no longer serve you, and create space for greater alignment, self-trust, and meaningful change. If you're looking for a therapist who values curiosity over judgment, welcomes thoughtful questions, and believes that belonging should never require self-abandonment, we may be a good fit.”

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.
