Ilana Blatt-Eisengart

Launch Psychological Associates

Ph.D.

“I specialize in providing evidence-based psychotherapy, meaning that the approaches I use have been tested and backed by science. I often use a cognitive-behavioral approach (CBT) to build skills to manage difficult thoughts and behaviors. I also frequently use an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach, which emphasizes increasing psychological flexibility.”

“I help neurodivergent and LGBTQIA youth navigate identity and burnout while supporting parents through family power struggles. Our plan focuses on connection, not 'fixing.' Using ACT and therapeutic gaming, we'll build real-world skills through play and engaging conversation. You can expect clearer boundaries, stronger family bonds, and the deep relief of finally being witnessed and understood.”

Centered Perspectives Therapy

LICSW

“I deeply believe that your perspectives and experiences matter, and I see you as the expert on your own life. Therapy is an opportunity for us to collaboratively explore what is important to you. My warmth, respect, curiosity, and patience help create a supportive environment for these conversations. While I likely have experience working with clients around similar challenges to what led you to seek therapy, I also don’t think that there is a one-size-fits-all “recipe” that works the same for every client in a given situation. I see therapy as an individualized and interactive experience. Working together, we can draw on your values, preferences, knowledge, skills, and hopes in discussing how to navigate challenges in your life. I meet with all potential clients for a free initial 15-minute video consult. I'd love to hear from you to set up the consult or if you have any questions.”

Erika Kao, LCSW

Minds Wide Open Psychotherapy, LLC

LCSW

“I approach therapy with an awareness of the social and cultural forces that shape our lives, including race, identity, power, and access. As a white therapist, I’m mindful of my privilege, and I work to be accountable and informed. My aim is to honor and take seriously your lived experience. Healing is shaped by the world we move through and the histories we carry. I’ll help you notice what’s happening inside of you and between you and your partner. We’ll explore your emotions, reactions, and deep needs beneath the surface, as we reshape what no longer serves you. My style is collaborative, mindful, and deeply relational. I help you tune in to your inner wisdom, build emotional resilience, and create healthier, more connected relationships with yourself and the people you love. Healing isn’t linear, but with the right support, it can open up profound shifts in how you live and relate.”

Forward Momentum Thearpy

LMFT

“I am soft but direct. I consider your history and how it impacts your current struggles while providing room to process and tools to move forward. No path is a straight line and I am here for the journey with you. I am of the mindset that equity and trust are essential to working together to find solutions and gain awareness. While I am informed on a wide range of therapeutic approaches and I use what is best for each individual client, I tend to lean towards using Solution-Focused Therapy, Structural Therapy, and Narrative Therapy styles. I like for our work together to be interactive and empowering with the understanding that there are systems we may have to work with, in, or around.”

Austin Women’s Counseling

LMFT-S, LPC-S, PMH-C

“In session, we look at patterns that you can recognize that are no longer serving you, and where they come from. We explore generational patterns and internal parts that exist in what is getting in the way of one’s processing. I look for patterns in one’s life, generational patterns in one’s family, and how problems get in the way of someone’s true self.”

Masha Sorkin & Associates

LMHC

“I understand that therapy can be daunting for a plethora of reasons. Some people find themselves saying, “I’d never go to therapy,” however, I truly enjoy working with people who have a hard time believing therapy would ever work for them. When meeting new clients, I like to understand at which part of the therapy process they are in, and start from there. We will have goals in mind, but building rapport is one of the most important steps to taking care of those goals. I tend to be more relatable (but still professional), as a means of establishing that I am here with you and for you, not as an authority or someone that knows better. We can collaborate on how to get you where you wish to be, even if you are not so sure where that is yet.”

Kelsey Mammen

Waterhorse Counseling, LLC

LPC

“Therapy with me is active, relational, and grounded in creating a space where you do not have to perform, “hold it together,” or navigate difficult emotions alone. I work from a trauma-informed lens and believe many symptoms make sense in the context of what someone has lived through. Sessions often focus on helping clients slow down, understand their nervous system responses, process painful experiences safely, and reconnect with themselves in a more grounded and compassionate way. I integrate approaches such as EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), attachment-focused work, and equine-assisted therapy to support healing that goes beyond just talking about problems intellectually.”

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.
