Salma Soliman

Brave You Therapy

LCSW

“My work is rooted in embodied healing. I integrate evidence-based modalities including DBT, CBT, RODBT, and trauma-informed approaches, while also incorporating experiential and creative practices such as movement, somatic awareness, and Improv Therapy. I believe healing happens not just through talking about our lives, but through practicing new ways of being. We don’t just analyze attachment — we practice repair. We don’t just name shame — we build the capacity to stay present while being seen. Improv Therapy is one of the ways I facilitate this integration. It is a structured, therapeutic group modality designed to help clients build emotional regulation, increase flexibility, reduce shame, and reconnect to play and authenticity. This work is not about performance. It’s about nervous system integration.”

Sarah O’Shea

KaleidoSpark Co.

PhD, LP, HS-P

“My approach is warm, collaborative, curious, and neurodiversity-affirming. I believe therapy works best when you feel understood rather than judged, and when we make space for who you actually are—not who you think you’re supposed to be. Therapy sessions with me are conversational and flexible, with room for humor, reflection, problem-solving, and whatever feels most helpful that day. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, so I adapt therapy to your needs, communication style, strengths, and goals. Depending on what brings you in, we may explore patterns, build practical tools, work through difficult emotions or experiences, strengthen relationships, and find ways to make everyday life feel more manageable. I draw from strengths-based, relational, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and acceptance-based approaches while keeping our work grounded in your real life and what matters most to you.”

“My approach is trauma-informed and focused on how the nervous system shapes emotional and relational patterns. Rather than relying on insight alone, we work with the underlying responses that keep anxiety, overwhelm, shutdown, or reactivity active in the present. I help adults understand and shift long-standing patterns, process unresolved experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and build a more grounded relationship with themselves and others. Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and paced in a way that supports lasting change rather than survival-based coping. I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR, IFS, CRM, and EFT to support healing at both the emotional and nervous system level. I also provide neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQ+-affirming care where you are not expected to mask or over-explain your experience.”

Marjorie DeWald

Marjorie DeWald, LCSW Counseling, PLLC

LCSW

“I believe that humans need one another at key times to feel "felt" and understood. A focused relationship with a therapist can bring clarity and help you to uncover personal resources that may be hiding underneath fear and confusion. I approach clients holistically and authentically, inviting them to explore their own world view, strengths, and perspective to take positive steps towards growth.”

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.
