Gary Dillon, PhD

Ally Psychological Therapy

PHD

“My work centers high-achieving Black and Brown professionals in NYC who are navigating anxiety, racial stress, burnout, and relationship strain. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with practical skill-building to address both root causes and present-day patterns. We examine how race, masculinity, leadership pressure, and systemic expectations shape emotional health. Therapy with me is direct, culturally responsive, and insight-driven. I challenge self-silencing, overfunctioning, and perfectionism while building emotional regulation, communication skills, and sustainable success that does not require self-erasure.”

Kameryn Rose Therapy

LMFT, ASDCS

“I describe my style as collaborative and human. The beginning of our time together is devoted to giving space to you and your goals, understanding them, and creating a plan together that matches your style of learning. Therapy here can look like agendas and homework, or unpacking the weight of the week, based on your needs at this juncture of your life. We will focus on getting to the heart of your values and how the issues you're facing line up with or against those. Sometimes our values are minimized or buried under expectations and rules from other sources, and it can take a lot to pull them out and shine them up again.”

LCSW

“This is more than just a therapy practice—it's my passion. Having a safe space to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or repercussions is essential. Participating in therapy offers a unique opportunity to process emotions and experiences with an impartial observer—helping to clarify what is urgent, what can be deferred, what needs attention, and what can be released. Human experiences are inherently relational, and sometimes we need others to help us see clearly—that’s where therapy can be invaluable.”

Lucy Zhang, LMFT

“Therapy with me is relational, curious, neurodivergent-affirming, gender-affirming, and polyamory- and ENM-affirming. I support clients navigating identity shifts, forms of intimacy, evolving relationships, and all sorts of life transitions, including explorations of sexuality, gender, neurodivergence, and relationship structures. One of the gifts of therapy is that you do not need to arrive with the answers or even the language for what you are experiencing. You are not supposed to have it all figured out before you begin - uncertainty is part of the journey! I genuinely enjoy sitting with clients in that liminal space: the in-between, before things begin to fully take shape. It is needless to say that there is more than enough room here for curiosity, questioning, and the deconstruction and reconstruction of identity, relationships, and what feels true for you.”

Holistic Journey Counseling and Consulting

LCSW

“My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you feel safe enough to be fully yourself. I see therapy as a space where we slow things down, make sense of your experiences, and gently work toward healing at your pace. Sessions with me often feel supportive, steady, and attuned—I’ll meet you where you are while also helping you build insight, skills, and confidence over time. I draw from trauma-informed approaches, incorporating elements of EMDR, somatic work, attachment-based therapy, and holistic practices to support both the mind and body. Above all, I believe healing happens in connection, and I strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and not alone in the process.”

Wellspring Counseling Center

M.S., LPC-C

“I work with a variety of clients who experience a wide range of issues, from depression & anxiety to trauma to interpersonal difficulties in relationships. From the first session we will navigate how your emotions, values, and actions are influencing the issues you are bringing to therapy, and we will work as collaborators to build a path toward the life you wish to create for yourself. I typically use an integrated, personalized approach to my practice. What this looks like in session is that I will walk with you through an exploration of the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are contributing to your struggles, and help guide you through different perspectives that align with your values. I believe you are the expert in the room!”

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.
