“I work with teenagers and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, and questions around identity and self-understanding. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences openly, build insight and coping skills, and feel more confident in themselves and their relationships. My goal is to help clients feel understood while supporting meaningful growth, healing, and lasting change.”
“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.”
“Couples and individuals, 16 and older specializing in communication, connection, intimacy, life transitions, grief and loss, reparenting, depression, anxiety, inner child”
“My clients are often thoughtful, self-aware adults who have been holding things down for a long time. Many are exhausted before they ever reach out. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, identity-related stress, and the lingering weight of difficult family dynamics. I have a particular passion for working with queer and LGBTQIA+ clients, including trans and non-binary adults, and I am proudly kink- and poly-affirming. I also work with veterans, older adults, and anyone who has spent a long time feeling like they had to hide part of themselves to survive.”
“I work with adults, teens, first responders, healthcare professionals, and men who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, stress, depression, addiction, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are dependable, high-functioning individuals who feel constantly on edge, mentally drained, or disconnected despite appearing “fine” on the outside. I also support clients navigating grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and difficulty coping with daily stressors. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical, helping clients build emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, resilience, and a greater sense of calm, confidence, and control in their lives.”
“I work with clients who are facing a variety of challenging life experiences, including grief & loss, anxiety, depression, major life changes, and relationship issues — all through the lens of being highly sensitive. I often find that single women, people from the LGBTQ+ community, and fellow therapists/helpers/healers are drawn to work with me.”
“I work with neurodivergent individuals, adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults who are feeling stuck and are ready to move toward meaningful, lasting growth. Whether you are navigating the unique challenges of a neurodivergent brain, managing the transition into young adulthood, or working through the stresses of adulthood, I am here to help. You might be struggling to regulate overwhelming emotions, navigating life transitions, or repeating patterns that no longer serve you. My practice is a safe space for those who want to do the work of challenging unhelpful thought patterns and building a life that feels authentic. No matter your stage of life, we will work together to navigate your barriers with clarity and confidence.”
“I work with adults, primarily women. These are people who have put so many others first, neglecting their own needs & self-care. Finally, she is ready to prioritize herself, and may even feel guilty for doing so. Clients may be in the sandwich generation, caring for elderly parents and dealing with caregiver fatigue and anticipatory grief. She could be experiencing issues with an adult child, including navigating estrangement. The client could be a high-functioning co-dependent. She is often an over-achiever. She may be exiting a relationship with a narcissistic/toxic partner, and rediscovering herself while learning how to parallel parent. She may have lost a spouse, parent, or child, and needs support in her grief journey. This client may need to address childhood trauma, and explore attachment wounds/styles. She wants to find her voice, and establish & maintain healthy boundaries.”
“I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and life transitions. I support clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, helping them build coping skills and regain a sense of balance. I also work with clients who are athletes, and support them with the unique mental health challenges that come from sports and high-pressure environments. I also support clients with managing ADHD, offering practical strategies to improve focus, organization, and daily functioning. Additionally, I help individuals through life transitions such as school, career changes, and increased responsibilities.”
“I work with adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and questions of identity, purpose, and personal fulfillment.

Finding support for Life Transitions
Life changes can bring stress, uncertainty, grief, pressure, or a sense that you are no longer sure what comes next. This page helps you find licensed mental health providers who offer online care for life transitions. Telehealth can widen your search beyond the nearest zip code, which may give you more options for fit, scheduling, and approach. Because online therapy depends on where a provider is licensed and where you are physically located during sessions, start by selecting the state or states where you will be during appointments. Then narrow your results using 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 Life Transitions
How do I use this page to find an online provider for life transitions?
Start by choosing the state where you will be physically located during sessions, since telehealth availability depends on provider licensure. Then compare profiles based on concerns like divorce, career change, becoming a parent, retirement, caregiving, relocation, or grief. Use filters to narrow by service type, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and availability so you can find a provider whose style and logistics fit your needs.
What should I ask before booking?
Ask whether the provider has experience with the kind of transition you are facing and how they usually help clients through change. You can also ask about session format, cost, insurance, availability, goals for treatment, and what a first session is like. If your situation involves a partner, family, or child, ask whether they offer the type of support that fits your needs.
Does my online therapist have to live in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?
Your therapist does not have to live in your state, but they usually must be licensed for the state where you are physically located during the session. If you travel, even temporarily, that can affect whether they can meet with you. It is smart to ask about this before booking, especially if you split time between states. You can also browse providers licensed in multiple states.
Does insurance cover online therapy for life transitions, and how does payment usually work?
Coverage varies by plan and provider, so check whether the provider is in network, what your copay may be, and whether prior authorization is required. Some providers offer private pay rates if they do not take your insurance. Before booking, ask about fees, cancellation policies, superbills, and how payment is collected so you know exactly what to expect.
What technology or privacy setup do I need for virtual sessions?
Most online therapy appointments work best in a private location 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 phone calls, secure messaging, texting, or email may also be used depending on the provider and service. Providers may also have policies about where sessions can take place, so check ahead if privacy or location may be an issue.
When is online therapy for life transitions 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 a poor match if your home environment makes it hard to speak freely. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.
Can online therapy help with major life changes even if I am not sure what is wrong?
Yes. Many people seek support during a life transition because they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unlike themselves without having a clear diagnosis or label. A provider can help you sort through what has changed, identify what is hardest right now, and build a plan for coping, decision-making, and support. You do not need to have the “right words” before reaching out.
Should I look for individual therapy, couples counseling, or family support during a life transition?
That depends on who is most affected and where the strain is showing up. Individual therapy may help if you want space to process your own emotions and decisions. Couples or family-focused care may be useful if a transition is creating conflict, communication problems, or role changes at home. Reading profiles carefully can help you find someone whose format matches your situation.
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.
