“If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or unsure of who you are or where you’re going, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a space where you feel grounded and comfortable showing up as you are, without pressure or judgment, while we make sense of what’s been weighing on you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, self-doubt, relationship challenges, family conflict, or major life transitions, my goal is to make you feel supported and respected while you gain insight and confidence in who you are and how to manage whatever comes your way. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults navigating the pressures of school, relationships, identity development, and expectations from others (and themselves). I also specialize in supporting athletes with confidence, focus, motivation, and returning to sport after injury while staying focused on who you are beyond performance.”

“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.”

“I work with cycle breakers: adults, couples, parents, and families who are ready to stop repeating patterns they inherited, survived, or learned. My clients are often insightful and high-functioning, but feel stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship conflict, parenting triggers, shame, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, shutdown, or emotional reactivity. They may be healing from complex trauma, family-of-origin wounds, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety or rage, infertility, pregnancy loss, attachment wounds, or relational trauma. Many have done therapy before and understand where the pattern came from, but still feel like insight alone has not helped them change it.”

Psychologist (Psy.D.)

Licensed In:

“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.”

ATR-BC, LPC

Licensed In:

“I work with late adolescents and young adults who feel lost or aimless in this world, who may have repressed parts of themselves as a means to survive their earlier years and who may not have had the chance to enjoy their childhood or to be a kid. I help these clients to practice feelings identification and awareness of where these feelings reside in the body so that those feelings can then become a source of internal guidance and wisdom. Through increased awareness of one’s emotional life, along with identification of one’s strengths and passions, I can help my clients establish a better sense of direction and empowerment in their choices and lives.”

Therapy with Annelise

LMFT

Licensed In:
California, Oregon
“You keep having the same argument, or you've been told you shut down, check out, or aren't there emotionally. Maybe you're carrying something you haven't said out loud — an affair, a secret, thoughts you're ashamed of. That doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you someone who needs space to be honest, without judgment. Chronic disconnection has real consequences: crossing lines you never thought you would, or wondering if you want to keep going. Struggling with substance use, infidelity, disordered eating, or thoughts of suicide doesn't mean you're broken. It means the pain has become unbearable. I also work with grief that doesn't look the way people expect: a relationship that ended badly, a loss involving addiction or suicide, or relief, anger, or numbness instead of sadness. Healing means being honest about your reality without worrying about others' comfort.”

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.
