“Some days you hold it all together. Other days, the weight is harder to hide, restless nights, a tightness in your chest, a feeling of being untethered. You may also see it in your teen: the spark dimming, smiles fading, or unexplained aches and tension. What you want is simple, but feels far away, ease, connection, a sense of safety in your own skin. Therapy can be a place to gently untangle what’s been carried too long, helping you or your child feel lighter, more grounded, and more connected to yourself and others.”
“Whether you're navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, or a sense of feeling “not enough,” the journey together will be a collaborative process. My goal is to help you cultivate inner safety, strengthen self-trust, and create a life aligned with your values—not perfection.”
“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.”
“Accepting new clients! This space is for the questioners, deep feelers, critical thinkers, artists, muses, queerfolk, neurodivergent minds, and the beautifully complex. In session, I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, as we gently explore the patterns shaping your life. If you know the ache of feeling disconnected from yourself, of looking in the mirror and not quite landing in who you are, you are not alone. Together, we will cultivate compassion so you can reconnect, soften, and begin to truly love the person looking back at you.”
“I work with individuals 18+ and specialize in anxiety, depression, pregnancy and postpartum support, maternal mental health, and substance use.”
“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.”
“I am currently accepting new clients. I specialize in maternal mental health, OCD, and ADHD. I provide compassionate support for individuals navigating pregnancy, infertility, pregnancy loss, abortion experiences, and postpartum challenges. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or mood changes, you do not have to navigate it alone. I provide a supportive space where you can feel understood and build the tools needed to move forward with confidence.”
“Effective therapy for adults with OCD, trauma, or anxiety. Are you having difficulty with worries or fears that just won't go away? Do you feel tense and wish you could just slow down and enjoy life more? You’ve tried to address your anxiety but it just won't budge. You’re ready for more freedom from the pattern you feel stuck in. I am here to help you break that pattern. My years of specialized experience and use of research-backed techniques help people like you regain control over anxiety. The therapy I offer is strongly rooted in research while at the same time tailored to your unique needs and goals.”
“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 women going through perimenopause, PMDD and other hormonal issues as well as the usual suspects of anxiety, depression and making big life changes. I also support women who are Childfree by Choice.”
“Hello everyone! I'm currently have open availability for virtual individual therapy, specifically for clients ages 13-35 navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, late-diagnosed/high-masking autism, ADHD, LGBTQIA+ issues, life transitions, and relationship challenges.”
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.
