“My work is trauma-responsive, not just trauma-informed. The difference is whether anything in the room actually changes because of what you’ve been through: the pace, the questions, how hard I press. You set the speed, and you can close a topic for the day without explaining why. The first two sessions are history and assessment, then we build a plan together. Practical tools and regulation come first, deeper processing once that holds. I work integratively and pull from EMDR, IFS, somatic and polyvagal-informed work, ACT, DBT skills, CPT, ERP for OCD, and Gottman Method training for couples. With neurodivergent clients the goal is minimum-to-no masking, so stimming, pacing, looking away or sitting quietly are all welcome. I do not use applied behavior analysis.”

“Depth-Oriented Psychodynamic Psychotherapy We don't just talk about what's happening. We talk about why it keeps happening. This approach looks beneath the surface, at patterns, old wounds, and the parts of yourself you may not fully see yet. It's slower, more curious, and honestly more interesting than symptom-chasing. Pulled from Carl Jung. EMDR Therapy: Some experiences don't respond to talking alone. EMDR helps the brain reprocess stuck memories so they stop running the show. It's structured, evidence-based, and often surprisingly powerful for people who've already done a lot of talk therapy. Skills Integration (CBT & DBT): Sometimes you need tools, not just insight. We weave in practical strategies for managing overwhelming emotions, changing thought patterns, and getting through hard moments without burning everything down. Experiential and Art Based Modalities as needed.”

Michelle F. Moseley Counseling, PLLC

LCMHC

“We start with a free, 15-minute virtual consultation to see if we're a good fit for working together. During a 90-minute initial session, you have an opportunity to share with me more about your background and what is bringing you to therapy, and we discuss what you'd like to get out of our work together. Then, I draw from my training and experience, using modalities such as Narrative Therapy, Brainspotting, DBT, Parts Works, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you work through the concerns bringing you to therapy and feel more confident in moving forward in life.”

The New Change

LCSW

“Sessions with me feel like a focused conversation. You talk, and I listen closely. Together, we decide what deserves attention first. I use cognitive behavioral therapy adapted for the menopause transition, which means we look at how your thoughts and your body influence each other. Mindfulness comes in when it's useful. So do practical changes to sleep habits or daily routines. We'll also work on quieting your harshest inner critic, which matters more at this stage than most people expect. You'll leave most sessions with something concrete to try. And I'll be honest with you along the way. If something isn't working, we adjust. My job is to help you understand what's happening in your body and build a life that fits who you're becoming.”

Branch Lane Psychotherapy

LCSW

“My work is grounded in the belief that symptoms are meaningful. Anxiety, perfectionism, emotional paralysis—these are not just problems to be managed but expressions of something deeper, often rooted in earlier experience or unconscious conflict. In therapy, we create the conditions for those patterns to reveal themselves, so they can be understood and worked through, not just pushed aside.”

Holdfast Therapy NW

LMHCA

“I weave together depth work from a Jungian perspective with EMDR to get at the root of issues clients are facing. I treat symptoms as information, anxiety, panic attacks, relationship habits, these are information that point us to the work that needs to be done to heal childhood or other foundational wounding in ways that last. My focus is not on changing behavior, but changing the soil from which behavior grows to bring about lasting change, including transforming beliefs about self and the world.”

OtterWell Mental Health LLC

Psychologist (Psy.D.)

“Sessions with me are warm, direct, and a little funny—being able to laugh at ourselves can help us heal and bounce back. I bring humor, genuine curiosity, and practical tools to our work, and I tailor my approach to you rather than running everyone through the same framework. We'll look at what's underneath the overwhelm--not just the anxious thoughts or the burnout itself, but why saying no feels so hard, or how you always end up being the one holding everything together. I draw on dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and positive psychology-based approaches, customized to your unique needs. Expect a therapist who's actively engaged, gives you real tools between sessions, and treats you as the expert on your own life.”

Healing & Growth Counseling

MS,ED,MHC-LP

“You deserve a space where you feel seen, valued, and understood—exactly as you are. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that healing begins with self-love and compassionate self-acceptance. Many of the clients I work with carry heavy expectations, old narratives, or roles that have left little room for their own needs. Together, we slow down, reconnect with your inner world, and rebuild a relationship with yourself that feels nurturing, grounded, and empowering.”

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.
