“I work with individuals and couples who are interested in exploring relationships, communication, issues related to gender and sexuality, and sexual challenges.”
“Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stretched thin are common experiences for the folks I work with. Many of my clients struggle with burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, insomnia, relationship stress, or the sense that they're not quite "doing enough." Sometimes big transitions, like early parenthood, career shifts, or divorce are contributing to this, and sometimes it's just due to patterns folks have learned that were once helpful for surviving day to day, but aren't serving them anymore. The clients I work with often want to find relief from anxiety, depression, or OCD, but also improve their sense of balance in their lives, working toward creating sustainable change.”
“I work with adults across Los Angeles and California who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, and emotional burnout. Many of my clients grew up in strict or harmful religious environments and now carry religious trauma, spiritual abuse wounds, or shame tied to identity, sexuality, or worth. Others live with complex PTSD, childhood trauma, or attachment wounds that show up as people pleasing, perfectionism, emotional numbness, or feeling unsafe in relationships. You may feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from your body, or exhausted from holding it all together. If your past still feels present in your nervous system, relationships, or sense of self, you do not have to heal alone. Together we create space for safety, clarity, and lasting change.”
“The typical clients I work with are usually insightful, self-aware, and high-achieving in many areas of life. When so much of life seems to be going “right,” it can feel confusing or frustrating to experience feelings of inadequacy, emptiness, feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, difficulties with emotional regulation/processing, feelings of anxiety, loss of interest in things once enjoyed, feeling “burned out,” sleep disturbance, and/ or difficulties within relationships. I have extensive experience in working with therapists, emergency medicine physicians, and firefighters.”
“I have specialized training and experience in treating trauma, PTSD, and perinatal mental health. I am trained in EMDR to help you get "unstuck". I also work well with anxiety, grief, helping professions/first responders, burnout, & perfectionism.”
“If you are struggling to make sense of your emotions, connect with others in a meaningful way, feel stuck in old patterns, process traumatic experiences, or navigate a life transition, I might be a good fit as a therapist for you. In my work, I bring curiosity and non-judgment to the therapeutic space and support clients in moving toward greater self-understanding, acceptance, and compassion. Together, we work to better understand your brain and experiences, develop strategies that align with how you function best, and celebrate strengths that may have been overlooked or misunderstood. I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, caregiver burnout, PTSD, neurodivergence, and/or ADHD. I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I integrate all these approaches into my therapeutic style to best meet individuals’ needs.”
“I specialize in infertility, pregnancy and post partum issues. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they can’t fully explain. They may find themselves repeating the same emotional responses or caught in relationships that feel unsatisfying or confusing.”
“I enjoy working with trauma and complex trauma survivors, neurodiverse clients, and clients with psychotic disorders. I am committed to providing person-centered, diversity-affirming care where clients feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore their experiences. My passion lies in helping individuals heal from trauma, complex trauma, and intergenerational trauma, reclaiming their voice and building the life they want to live.”
“Folks in larger bodies who have experienced weight stigma, medical trauma, chronic health conditions, eating disorders, and chronic dieting. Folks with a history of trauma, especially during childhood/attachment, as well as due to identity. Folks who want to explore their identity, culture, gender, and who want to deconstruct beliefs about themselves that have been placed on them by dominant worldview narratives.”
“Speciality areas include: consensual non-monogamy in all of its forms, substance use (harm reduction), queer identity and gender identity, kink, psychedelic integration, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, somatic awareness, bereavement-grief, PTSD”
“Have you ever felt that life is stuck on hard mode, or that you’re trying to drive through life without a map? I can help you learn real coping skills, effective ways of managing stress, and new ways of looking at a problem. I work with and help individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, neurodivergence, gender identity, sexual identity, and major life transitions. ”
“Adults 21 years of age and older. Individuals and Couples Counseling.”
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.
Explore providers by specialty, location, and type of care. If you travel or live in more than one state, review your options for continuing care across locations.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
