Sarah Rollins

Embodied Wellness, PLLC

LMSW

“In therapy, I will ask you to go into your body and check in with your sensations. I will invite you to slow down. I may even interrupt you- not because I don’t want to listen or hear what you have to say, but because I want to ensure that your nervous system’s story is also being heard. I will invite you to stay as curious as possible.”

“Clients often tell me they appreciate having a space where they feel heard without judgement—a place to sort through their thoughts, gain clarity, and walk away with tools they can actually use in real life. ​ In our sessions, I bring a mix of warmth and honesty, paired with evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT, all through a trauma-informed lens. My style is conversational and practical, and yes—I like to keep things real. When it fits, I’ll sprinkle in humor, a dash of sarcasm, and the occasional pop culture or Disney reference (because sometimes a little laughter and a well-timed quote can make the hard stuff easier). Together, we’ll explore what truly helps you thrive—and maybe even have a few laughs along the way.”

Move Toward Good

LPC

“I have a strong foundation in mindfulness, self-compassion and work in shame, vulnerability, belonging and bravery. I’m also highly trained in sexual and gender affirming therapies. I can also competently use modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, DBT, and motivational interviewing. All told, I have 20 years of experience in the mental health field. You’ll hear me talk about shame and how it keeps us stuck. You’ll receive training in mindful practices such as meditation, body scans, and visualization exercises. Most importantly, though, we will focus on what is important to you. Our mission is to move you toward your best good, as you define and claim it. I’m a white, cisgendered fat queer woman. As a member of the LGBTQI+ community, I specifically enjoy working with LGBTQI+ clients (including writing letters for gender affirming medical needs). My practice is open-minded.”

Surviving to Thriving Services PLLC

LPC, NCC

“As a Clinical Mental Health Therapist, I provide a compassionate, collaborative, and empowering approach to therapy. I integrate evidence-based practices with genuine human connection to help clients better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. My work often focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, self-esteem, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and life transitions. I strive to create a therapy environment that feels supportive, authentic, and emotionally safe while also encouraging accountability, growth, and deeper self-awareness. Rather than simply helping clients “cope,” I believe therapy can help people reconnect with their identity, needs, confidence, values, and sense of purpose. My style is warm, engaged, nonjudgmental, and grounded in helping clients feel both understood and empowered.”

Hunter Corey

Ember Psychotherapy Collective

LPCC

“I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities including EMDR, Internal family systems (IFS or inner child work), Somatic Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I take a creative approach, weaving together tools from each of these modalities to shape a process that truly fits your needs. Therapy should feel like a space where you’re truly supported. For some, that means sitting on a cozy couch in an office. For others, it might mean walking through a nearby park or connecting virtually from the comfort of home. You know what feels right for you — and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on that path.”

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.
