“Anxious about… everything? Find yourself feeling more insecure or down than usual? Fighting with a friend, family member, partner or all the above? Having difficulty managing ADHD symptoms and how they all seem to affect any of the previous issues listed? Let’s figure it out together!”
“I work primarily with men who have spent years striving, achieving, or taking care of everyone else while feeling increasingly disconnected from themselves. Many have tried traditional approaches to self-improvement but continue to feel stuck in old emotional patterns, anxiety, relationship struggles, or the effects of unresolved trauma. My work combines EMDR, somatic therapy, and mindfulness with the principles of Effortless Mindfulness and nondual awareness. Rather than teaching you to become someone new, therapy helps you release what has been keeping you from the ease, clarity, and wholeness that are already present. I also work with meditators, spiritually curious individuals, and fellow therapists who want to integrate deep psychological healing with contemplative practice. Couples seeking a more honest, connected relationship are welcome. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating a major life transition, or longing to feel more at home in yourself, therapy offers a space where both psychological healing and inner awakening.”
“I work with adolescents (13+) and adults (including older adults) who may be anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, hurting, questioning, grieving, burned out, or trying to make sense of experiences that continue to affect them. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, chronic illness or pain, suicidal thoughts, identity, or major changes in life. Others cannot easily name what is wrong; they simply know something is not working. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and open to exploring new ways of understanding or responding to what they are experiencing. You do not need to arrive with a perfectly defined goal. Figuring out what you need can be part of the work.”
“I work with high-functioning adults who look like they're managing everything well on the outside--capable, reliable, the person everyone turns to—and are quietly running on empty underneath it all. If your to-do list never ends, you say yes before you've even thought about whether you want to, or you've noticed your world shrinking, you're in the right place. Many of the people I work with are professionals and caregivers dealing with anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or a life transition that's left them wondering what's next. You might be the one everyone else leans on, and rarely have anyone to lean on yourself. I help clients feel less overwhelmed, set boundaries without guilt, and build a life with more room in it for rest and joy--not just more responsibility.”
“I help teens and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, self injury, intense emotions, ADHD, substance misuse, as well as identity, sexuality, and gender questioning.”
“I support individuals and couples using an eclectic model, which includes EMDR for anxiety, depression and trauma-related disorders. I have a bit of a specialty in working with polyamorous/consensually nonmonogamous individuals and couples. I am experienced with ADHD, chronic illness, LGBTQIA+ issues, and perinatal emotional concerns. I also offer EMDR Intensives, so that we may get the work done in fewer sessions! I now offer walk-and-talk in-person therapy in the Central MA/MetroWest area.”
“Adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, low self esteem, PTSD, burnout, spiritual/existential matters and interpersonal concerns.”
“I work with adults 18 and older who are managing conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, chronic insomnia, and chronic pain. I have particular experience supporting military veterans, active-duty service members, and individuals who have experienced combat-related or sexual trauma. I welcome clients across all backgrounds seeking medication management in a safe, non-judgmental space.”
“I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. I also help clients address concerns related to self-esteem, grief, family conflict, OCD, and stress.”
“Teens (13 and older), young adults/college-age, adults, LGBTQIA+ clients, children of immigrants, individuals navigating identity development, people-pleasing and codependency, low self-confidence, difficulty setting boundaries, relationship patterns and attachment wounds, people who intellectually understand their patterns but still feel stuck emotionally, people trying to reconnect with their authentic identity after years of pleasing others.”
“At Freesia Therapy Collective, we provide compassionate online therapy for individuals, couples, families, teens and young adults throughout Washington State. We support people facing a wide range of life challenges — including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, neurodivergence, substance use, relational stress, identity concerns, and more — with tailored, culturally responsive care. Our affirming practice welcomes clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities, races, cultures, faiths, and relationship structures, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent individuals. We meet you where you are, honoring your unique story, strengths, and goals to foster healing, resilience, and meaningful personal 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.
