Meron Girmaiy

Ember Psychotherapy Collective

LMHC

“Attachment theory, trauma informed interventions, and a personal and therapeutic perspective of multicultural identities are some of the things that allow me to support you in better understanding yourself and get answers to your biggest questions about you. All with the goal of feeling most aligned with who you truly are. Life today can fill our heads with so many complexities that we sometimes lack the capacity to figure all this out on our own. The therapeutic space we create can be dedicated to the personal challenges that have had to take a backseat. Those parts of you deserve the time.”

Masha Sorkin

Masha Sorkin & Associates

LICSW/LCSW

“I tailor my approach to each individual client/couple as everyone is unique and there is no one size fits all nor formula. I ensure that I listen to clients free of judgement and with empathy. I am engaged with clients during the session and will ask questions as well as give feedback. I am kind but direct and like to challenge clients to notice patterns and to think about things from other perspectives and frameworks. I believe building a strong rapport with clients is fundamental in authentic and deep therapeutic work. I like to give "homework" to clients for work to happen in real life and time and to ensure that the skills we discuss and build in sessions truly prove useful in your day to day life and to help with accountability on the goals that you set for yourself.”

Ashley Molin

Trailhead Counseling, Inc

PsyD

“My approach is rooted in existential and feminist therapy, which sounds academic, but what it really means in practice is this: I believe we're all wrestling with the same fundamental questions about life, meaning, connection, and who we are. Those questions don't look the same for everyone, but they're deeply human, and they're worth taking seriously. I also believe that who you are can't be separated from the world you live in. The impact of patriarchy, racism, heterosexism, ableism, and other systems of oppression isn't abstract, it shapes how you move through the world, how you see yourself, and what feels possible. Good therapy has to hold all of that. I think of therapy as a journey we are taking together. My role isn't to hand you a map and tell you where to go, it's to walk beside you, help you see the options that exist, and support you in choosing your own direction. While I may highlight options or explore possibilities, you choose the direction. You're the expert on you. I bring the psychology; you bring the self-knowledge. Together, we put both to work.”

“Maybe you feel... Powerless against the whirlpool of rapid changes. Drowned by the downpour of fear, worry, and anxiety. Like it's hard to see beyond the dark clouds of depression.

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.
