Inspired Mental Wellness, LLC

LCSW

Licensed In:
Texas
“I help teens and young adults who feel anxious and stressed out and overwhelmed by academic pressure, social relationships, and figuring out who they are and what they want, build the confidence and ability to meet the world head-on and create the life they want. I also help people who have found themselves in the heartbreak of infertility, the stress of fertility treatments, and the maze of 3rd party family building stay anchored through the grief and unknowns so they can face the next steps with clarity and strength. Through my work with infertility, I was naturally pulled to support people during and after their pregnancy when everything about life as you knew it, changes. I support mothers who feel like they have lost themselves and are failing at everything in creating a life where they are fulfilled and whole.”

Earth and Sea Counseling Services

LMFT

Licensed In:
California
“I’m a therapist for adults and teens navigating burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, neurodivergence (ADHD/autism), and the lingering effects of childhood trauma. I most often work with therapists and other helping professionals, as well as gifted or high-achieving individuals who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in people-pleasing and perfectionistic patterns. Many of my clients are insightful and capable, yet exhausted from carrying too much for too long. They may struggle with boundaries, sensory overload, imposter syndrome, or feeling like they’re “too much” or “not enough.” If you’re used to being the strong one but quietly running on empty, you’re not alone.”

“If you're looking for a queer/gender affirming therapist to work with as you explore living authentically, minority stress, gender dysphoria, imposter syndrome, or need support with social/medical transitions you've landed in the right place. Welcome! Let me pause to remind clients that the above noted challenges are not problems or shortcomings of any individual. Rather they are symptoms of living in a culture and society steeped in oppressive and binary focused views. As a trans competent and trauma informed therapist we will work together to find the tools that best serve you in living your most joyful and authentic life!”

“Do you feel like you're easily overwhelmed, not good enough, or feel like a burden on others? Perhaps you ruminate on fears of the future or dismiss your needs so that you don't lose relationships. I work with people who are struggling with anxious thoughts, chronic illness and/or pain, and symptoms related to previously traumatic events and experiences. These can show up as overwhelming emotions, fears of abandonment, or physical and emotional shut down. Many of my clients are living with a chronic illness and trying to navigate the loss of a pre-diagnosis life in the hopes of gaining a better understanding of a post-diagnosis identity.”

“Do you feel like you’re constantly "just getting by," carrying an invisible weight from the past? Perhaps you find yourself stuck in old patterns, reacting out of fear rather than confidence, or noticing that a past event—or a lifetime of challenges—is still dictating your present day. Starting therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate this alone. I work exclusively with adults in a fully virtual setting, meeting you in the comfort of your own space. I do my best work with individuals who are ready for active change and looking for a structured path toward lasting relief. Whether you are dealing with unresolved trauma or a general sense of being blocked from your potential, I am here to help you move beyond survival mode so you can truly thrive.”

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.
