Counseling Positive Change

LMHC, NCC

“You’re doing the best you can with what you have—and that’s a powerful starting point. Everyone deserves access to competent, compassionate, and nonjudgmental mental health care. You're here because you're ready to grow, and I’m here to support that journey. I believe therapy should honor your unique path and values. In an uncertain world, you have the right to shape your own meaning. The relationship between client and counselor is the foundation for change, and I’m committed to building one based on trust, authenticity, and respect. I help individuals and couples navigate challenges, build resilience, and move toward the future they envision. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your goals.”

Yana Levin

Yana Levin Therapy

LCSW

“I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and collaborative lens. I believe that you are the expert in your story, and are the leader of your therapy. I want to hear from you about your experiences, your concerns, and your wants and needs from therapy. I do not use any modality to its full fidelity; rather, I take bits and pieces from a variety of modalities to find the best approach for you and your needs. I will always be trauma-informed, queer- and neurodivergent-affirming, and ready to support without judgement.”

Root to Rise Therapy

LCSW, PMH-C

“I communicate in a way that is both direct and supportive; patient yet curious. I will gently challenge patterns that are keeping you stuck - like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the belief that you have to do everything on your own - while also creating a space where you feel seen, safe and not judged. My clients often tell me that I know how to ask the right questions to get to the root of what’s going on. But I also believe that you are the expert - I’ll go at your pace, on your terms. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to rush to find the answer; where you can slow down enough to start noticing what’s going on in your body and mind, buried beneath the surface. I welcome you to show your full self here - even when it’s overwhelmed, messy and unsure. We’ll start with what’s present in there here and now, and let that guide our work together.”

Lumina Counseling

LMFT

“My therapeutic approach is grounded in presence, discernment, and a deep respect for the complexity of each person’s story. I work from a client-centered, strengths-forward perspective, offering a steady and compassionate partnership as you navigate the challenges and transitions shaping your life. Whether you are an individual seeking clarity, a couple working to rebuild connection, or a family wanting more harmony, our work is tailored with intention and guided by both clinical expertise and sincere human understanding. Together, we explore the patterns that no longer serve you, unhelpful narratives, communication cycles that create distance, or long-standing beliefs that limit self-confidence. From there, we build new pathways: more grounded emotional regulation, healthier relational dynamics, and more aligned ways of living and engaging with others.”

Sean Robinson, PhD

CSR Therapy & Counseling Services

PhD, LPC, LPCC, LCPC

“Our sessions are a conversation, not an interrogation. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you notice patterns that are hard to see on your own. You set the pace; I offer structure when it helps and space when you need it. My lens is strengths-based: we look at what’s hard and at what’s already working, then build from there. I draw on CBT (untangling thoughts that keep you stuck), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (living by your values when things are hard), Solution-Focused Therapy (finding practical next steps), Narrative Therapy (rewriting the stories you tell about yourself), and Positive Psychology. Underneath it all is a person-centered belief that you are the expert on your own life. Expect warmth, honesty, and some gentle challenge. Sessions often include clear goals and something to reflect on between meetings, always shaped around you.”

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.
