“I work with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck. Many of the clients I support are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, loneliness, grief, or difficulties understanding and meeting their own needs. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel that something needs to change, therapy can be a place to gain clarity, develop new tools, and feel supported. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest, vulnerable, and empowered to move forward. I work with couples and families who are navigating challenges such as communication struggles, relationship stress, life transitions, conflict, and feeling disconnected from one another. I support couples who want to strengthen their relationship, rebuild understanding, and create healthier patterns of connection. Together, we can work toward greater understanding, healthier relationships, and meaningful change.”

Psyberspace Center for Psychedelic Therapy

LPCC, LPC, LMHC

Licensed In:
California, Georgia, New Jersey, New York
“You've done the work. Read the books. Tried the breathing. Sat in years of therapy. And still — something feels stuck. I work with people just like you. High-achievers who look fine on paper but feel exhausted underneath. Entrepreneurs carrying invisible weight. Parents running on empty. Veterans and first responders running from memories they can't outrun. Couples caught in the same fight for the tenth year. You're not broken. You're burned out, traumatized, or stuck in patterns that won't budge — and traditional approaches haven't touched the root. If you've been told you're "too much" or "not enough," I see you. If you're ready for something deeper than talk — EMDR, KAP, somatic work — let's talk.”

Kate Tune

Wildroot Relationship Therapy PLLC

LMFT

Licensed In:
Colorado, Illinois
“I’m a marriage and family therapist who works through a systemic and attachment-based lens, exploring how past and present relationships shape how we experience ourselves and others. Early emotional environments teach us ways to cope and connect, but those strategies aren’t always sustainable. Therapy offers a space to explore and reshape those patterns. I specialize in working with couples and new parents navigating disconnection, communication challenges, and identity shifts. I also support individuals, adolescents, children, and families in learning to move through emotions rather than around them, building confidence, resilience, and secure connections.”

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.
