My approach is warm, authentic, and collaborative, combining evidence-based therapies like CBT, ACT, IFS, and Gottman-informed interventions for couples. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique identity, experiences, and goals, with a focus on perinatal and postpartum mental health, life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. I create a safe, judgment-free space where humor, honesty, and realness are encouraged, helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal and grow.”

Jen Johnston

Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness

LPC, LMHC

“Together, we cultivate a deep awareness and acceptance of what is. Not what you WISH were true. Pain, anxiety, hardship and identity changes are inevitable parts of our lives. And when you release the desire for things to be different immediately, it frees up energy for understanding, healing and compassion. But acceptance doesn’t mean resignation either. Because this is your life to live and a meaningful life is not found, it is built. You will find that I am compassionate and validating and I help you feel confident in your ability to live a meaningful life even amid uncertainty and pain. To do that, I use principles and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Both approaches provide skills for managing emotions and responses effectively, while clarifying your core identity and values so that the changes you make can all be oriented towards building a thriving life. Throughout it all, I try to bring my authentic self and a good sprinkling of humor and enjoyment, because therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy.”

Elijah Eiler

Storied Space Therapy

LCSW

“If you’re ready to get to know who you are behind the noise, you’re in the right place. I want to help you unwind, unmask, and unlearn outdated patterns and beliefs that keep you stuck. My biggest goal as a therapist is to provide a space where people can untangle the mess they’re facing and discover who they are underneath. I love working with folks who are queer, autistic, have ADHD, or have experienced relational or religious trauma. I am also passionate about supporting young adults as they navigate the changes that come with emerging adulthood. I primarily use internal family systems (IFS) therapy, which helps you come into a compassionate relationship with every part of yourself. I also provide sandtray therapy and Minecraft as options for when words just aren’t enough.”

Juliet Kari

Kari Integrated Therapy, PLLC

LCSW

“Sessions with me are collaborative, transparent, and grounded in a deep respect for your resilience. Because we meet virtually, our focus is on creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment right where you are. My therapeutic lens centers on how the brain and body heal from things that disrupt our sense of safety. While traditional talk therapy is valuable, I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help rewire how traumatic memories impact your present. We will map out your goals and explore your history at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. You won’t just talk about your distress; we will actively work together to take the painful power out of old memories. Healing with me means gaining the confidence to make choices free from the past.”

Journey To The End Counseling

LCPC (IL), LPC (TX)

“My approach is collaborative, relational and rooted in principles of equity, dignity, and collective well-being. I have advanced training in supporting neurodivergent individuals, trauma recovery, building self worth and anxiety/depression. My practice is LGBTQIA+, polyamory/CNM, and kink affirming, and I have received specialized training to support clients with these identities and lived experiences. I practice from a sex-positive and inclusive framework that honors sexual autonomy and supports clients to feel more empowered and confident in their sexual lives. My goal is to offer accessible, compassionate, and collaborative mental health care to women and gender-expansive individuals. If you're looking for support to navigate life's challenges with a friendly yet direct approach, I may be a good fit for you. My style focuses on helping you find meaning, strengthen your identity, and create direction in your life and relationships. It would be a privilege to support you as you begin the journey to living a more aligned life.”

Ellie Mental Health

“I am solution focused and use a variety of modalities depending on client needs. I believe therapy is a collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I help clients explore their experiences, build insight, develop coping tools, and create meaningful changes that align with their values and goals. My approach is direct, genuine, and individualized, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma informed approaches (EMDR). Sessions with me are conversational and paced to meet you where you are. Together, we will work toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and connection. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling supported, empowered, and equipped with tools you can use beyond therapy.”

“I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on experiencing the present moment and our own emotions without judgment, and with empathy.

Shelby Dwyer

Therapy with Shelby, LLC

LMHC, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC

“I look forward to getting to know all parts of you at the pace that works best for you and your system. I continue to learn ways to use an anti-oppressive, antiracist-trauma-focused, identity-affirming approach to life and therapy. I’m a naturally curious and reflective person with a strong, nerdy desire for learning and growing and I bring my authentic self to our work. I'm dedicated to treating people with respect, empathy, and kindness while also expanding cultural humility and maintaining accountability to avoid perpetuating the harm that systems in power inflict on marginalized populations. I hope you can feel comfortable, seen, and heard as we sit together in our sessions! I welcome whatever you need with you to help you feel settled in and ready. Sitting together, we’ll co-create a space where all parts of you feel understood and cared for. We’ll boost your skills, self-compassion, and resiliency and help you foster a stronger relationship with your Self!”

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.
