My approach is compassionate, trauma-responsive, and developmentally appropriate. With children and teens, I often use play-based, expressive, and skills-based interventions to support emotional regulation, coping, and confidence.

“I believe that no matter where you’re starting from—transformation is possible. Within the safety of a therapeutic relationship, I will work with you to develop new ways to respond to life's challenges. Therapy is most successful within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. This means that, as your therapist, I work to build an atmosphere that’s rooted in safety, openness, and mutual respect, in which you feel heard and understood. I am currently completing training in EMDR through the Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy, an approach that can help reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic experiences over time.”

Jeff Clark, MD

High Performance Mental Health

MD, Psychiatrist

Licensed In:
Utah
“I help founders, executives, and high-impact professionals optimize their mental health. Leadership is lonely. You carry burdens you cannot share. Your team might get a mental health day, but your role doesn't afford you that luxury. Authenticity may sound good on paper, but it isn't always the best thing for you or your career. Whether you’ve worked extensively with mental health professionals or never imagined a day when you’d be asking for help: I’m here for you. My practice isn't built for scale. It's designed to provide unparalleled focus and discretion. I will earn your trust and maintain it at all costs. I’m Jeff Clark, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist with additional expertise in addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine. I’ve worked with technologists, attorneys, doctors, engineers, and C-level executives at private and public companies. Their names and company logos won’t ever appear on my website. Yours won’t either.”

MindWell, LLC

LCSW

Licensed In:
Colorado, Florida, Maine
“You say the right things in the meeting, you show up for the people you love, and still, the moment you're alone, the voice starts. You should have said it differently. Why do you always do that? What's wrong with you? For many people, that inner critic didn't appear out of nowhere. It has roots. Past experiences of loss, neglect, emotional wounds, or moments where you weren't protected the way you deserved to be can quietly shape the story you tell yourself about who you are. Trauma doesn't always look like a single dramatic event. Sometimes it's the accumulation of a thousand small moments that taught you it wasn't safe. I work with people who are tired of carrying the weight of self-judgment and shame. Together, we explore where that voice came from, what it's really trying to say, and how to stop letting it run the show. We will focus on the roots of what you are experiencing and on reframing the negative beliefs into more positive ones. You deserve a life that doesn't feel like a constant internal battle. Let's talk.”

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.
