Therapy with Z, LLC

LCSW, BC-TMH, TIYT

Licensed In:
Florida, Idaho, Oklahoma, South Carolina
“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 focus my work on providing space for members of the Queer and Neurodivergent populations, as well as folks experiencing or interested in non-traditional relationship structures. I work well with folks who value honesty and humor in the therapy room. I tend to enjoy collaborating with my clients to explore topics related to identity, navigating complex relationships, and working through trauma that may be influencing our present day experience.

ABC Counseling Inc.

LMFT-S

Licensed In:
Colorado, Montana, Texas
“I work with adults, teens, couples, and helping professionals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, life transitions, and the pressure of holding everything together. Many of my clients are overthinkers, people pleasers, high achievers, cycle-breakers, or the “strong one” in their family who’s exhausted from carrying everyone else emotionally. You may look successful on the outside while privately struggling with self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, boundaries, communication, trauma, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. I also work with clients navigating identity exploration, attachment wounds, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and difficult relationship dynamics. If you’re self-aware but still stuck in the same patterns, craving healthier relationships, or simply tired of surviving instead of living, you’re in the right place.”

“I work with adults who are ready to move beyond simply coping and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, caregivers, entrepreneurs, and individuals who appear successful on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or dissatisfied internally. I specialize in supporting people navigating complex trauma, single-incident trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, relationship and communication challenges, self-worth concerns, and recurring life patterns that no longer serve them. I also work particularly well with individuals who have participated in therapy before but felt they did not achieve the depth of growth or transformation they were seeking.”

Pivotal View LLC

LAMFT

Licensed In:
Pennsylvania
“Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of joy in our lives—but they can also leave us feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck. I work with couples and individuals navigating mismatched sex drives, communication challenges, intimacy concerns, anxiety, relational stress, and life transitions. Together, we explore the patterns keeping you stuck and build healthier ways of connecting with yourself and others. I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients in polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, open, kink, and BDSM relationships, as well as LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples. Whether you're rebuilding trust, exploring changing sexual needs, or strengthening your relationship, therapy is tailored to your unique goals—not someone else's expectations. Above all, I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as you build the relationships and life you want.”

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.
