James Oxford

Natura Psychotherapy, PLLC

LMHC

“We'll explore some of the areas that keep having you feel stuck with how they might relate to your upbringing, ways you learned to navigate stress and emotions, and meaningful experiences that have impacted how you see the world. At times we'll learn about the role of emotions for you in your day-to-day, attachment styles and how they relate to your family of origin, and patterns you've seen that keep showing up in your relationships. Other times it means learning about the impacts of holding stress in the body, effective ways of communicating emotions, and behaviors that help root us in the "here and now" to become more present and engaged.”

Jose J. Davila Healing Therapy

LCSW

“I believe healing happens when we address both the psychological patterns that keep us stuck and the deeper awareness that already exists beneath them. My work is grounded in evidence-based trauma therapy while drawing from mindfulness and nondual wisdom to help clients experience lasting change and not just symptom relief. I tailor therapy to each person, integrating EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and compassion-based practices. Rather than relying on a single method, I use the approach that best fits your needs and goals. For many clients, unresolved trauma continues to shape relationships, emotions, and the way they experience themselves. EMDR and somatic therapy help process these deeper emotional patterns, while mindfulness and Effortless Mindfulness cultivate a greater sense of presence, resilience, and ease. I don't see psychological healing and awakening as separate paths. As old patterns soften, many people naturally discover greater clarity, openness, and connection with their world.”

Rachel Rosales

Padera Therapy & Wellness

LPC, EMDR, MA

“My career has spanned outpatient substance abuse treatment, inpatient and intensive outpatient programs, and private practice across urban, suburban, and rural communities. These experiences have strengthened my belief in meeting each client with empathy, respect, and collaboration. Together, we’ll build on your resilience while developing new ways to cope, shift unhelpful patterns, and create a more balanced way of seeing the world. I use an integrative, individualized approach, drawing from CBT, ACT, EMDR, ERP, and DBT to provide therapy that adapts to your needs and goals. Most sessions start with a check in about what went well and what did not go well since the last session. We use that as a jumping off point to look at several options for where we want to focus for the day. I want to work with the whole person, not just the diagnosis. It's important to look at all aspects of a person to truly understand the best approach to support them.”

Amy Kreins

Kreins Psychological Services

PhD

“I deliver cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based treatments to adult, seniors, and teens with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment problems, such as anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship problems. I try to build on an individual's strengths and individualize therapy to each person's need. I believe psychotherapy can help individuals most effectively use their resources to increase self-understanding, to improve decision-making, to solve problems, and to create paths to the lives they want. I use mindfulness training to help clients live in the moment, with a compassionate and nonjudgmental approach.”

Kimberly Lewis

Trinity Holistic Psychiatry

PMHNP-BC

“My approach focuses on understanding the full picture, not just the symptoms. I look at how your mental health is influenced by your daily life, including stress, environment, lifestyle, and patterns over time. Your symptoms matter, and we address them directly, while also identifying what may be contributing to them and where meaningful change can happen. My work is grounded in evidence-based care while also taking into account real-life factors that impact how you feel. Medication can be a helpful tool, but it’s just one part of the process. I also focus on mindset, habits, and the way you relate to yourself, because what you do consistently and how you think day to day has a powerful impact on your mental health. I create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported, while also encouraging growth, accountability, and meaningful change so you can feel more grounded and empowered.”

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.
