Keren Goldenberg

Sunray Psychotherapy

LMFT

Licensed In:
California, Florida, Idaho, Virginia
“We work with adults who are high-achieving on the outside and quietly unraveling on the inside. Many are navigating complex or intergenerational trauma, grief, identity shifts, and the kind of anxiety that looks like ambition until it doesn't anymore. Our clients tend to be self-aware, driven, and a little tired of surface-level answers. They've often tried therapy before and left feeling like something was missing. They want depth, not just coping skills. We specialize in adults carrying old wounds into new chapters, including immigrants, first and second-generation Americans, Jewish individuals, and women navigating high-pressure lives. If you've ever felt like you're holding too much and can't quite name why, you're probably our people.”

I work with anyone over the age of 18 who is able to meet virtually. I love working with clients who identity as or suspect that they are neurodivergent and/or queer.

Evelyn Pavlova

Dr. Ev's Oasis

LMHC, PhD

Licensed In:
Florida
“I work with adults who are struggling with fear of death, existential anxiety, grief, uncertainty, and life’s bigger questions. Many of my clients feel stuck in constant overthinking, dread, panic, emotional overwhelm, or a deep sense of “What’s the point?” that’s hard to explain to others. I often support people navigating major life transitions, loss, spiritually transformative experiences, identity shifts, health anxiety, or periods of deep awakening and change. Some clients feel disconnected from themselves, emotionally exhausted, or unable to fully enjoy life because fear and anxiety are always running quietly in the background. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, sensitive, introspective, and deeply feeling individuals who want more than just coping; they want to feel alive, grounded, connected, and at peace within themselves and their lives.”

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.

Jose J. Davila

Jose J. Davila Healing Therapy

LCSW

Licensed In:
Florida
“I work primarily with men who have spent years striving, achieving, or taking care of everyone else while feeling increasingly disconnected from themselves. Many have tried traditional approaches to self-improvement but continue to feel stuck in old emotional patterns, anxiety, relationship struggles, or the effects of unresolved trauma. My work combines EMDR, somatic therapy, and mindfulness with the principles of Effortless Mindfulness and nondual awareness. Rather than teaching you to become someone new, therapy helps you release what has been keeping you from the ease, clarity, and wholeness that are already present. I also work with meditators, spiritually curious individuals, and fellow therapists who want to integrate deep psychological healing with contemplative practice. Couples seeking a more honest, connected relationship are welcome. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating a major life transition, or longing to feel more at home in yourself, therapy offers a space where both psychological healing and inner awakening.”

“Do you have sudden shifts in mood, intense emotions, or overwhelm leading to shut down? Do you find yourself constantly on edge or consumed by worry? These experiences can be extremely isolating. Perhaps you've tried to build connection with others, but lacked the words to describe your internal thoughts and feelings, leading to frustration and detachment. If you are seeking an affirming space where you can explore your world safely, I would be honored to partner with you. I provide detailed psychoeducation throughout therapy, ensuring that you can always understand the "why" behind symptoms and treatments.”

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.
