“I work with high-functioning adults who are tired of their own patterns. You're intelligent, self-aware, and have probably tried to think your way out of things that thinking alone can't fix. You might be navigating anxiety that never fully turns off, burnout that's crept into everything, trauma you've carried longer than you should have, or relationships that keep hitting the same walls. My clients are people who know something needs to change — they just haven't found an approach that gets there. Many have tried traditional talk therapy and felt it only scratched the surface. They're ready to go deeper, work at the subconscious level, and actually come out different on the other side. I also work with expectant parents preparing for birth using hypnobirthing, and with individuals preparing for or integrating psychedelic and plant medicine experiences.”
“I work with individuals aged 14 and older who are experiencing depression and anxiety. My focus is on those who have faced complex trauma and find it challenging to navigate their daily lives. Many of my clients feel trapped in a fight-or-flight state, struggle to establish healthy boundaries, and have difficulty breaking maladaptive patterns of thought and behavior.”
“I work with a wide range of clients across age groups, identities, and relationship dynamics, including teens (13+), young adults, adults, and elders. I support individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions, as well as those seeking deeper emotional connection and personal growth. My work includes diverse communities such as LGBTQ+ clients, ethically non-monogamous relationships, highly sensitive individuals, artists and creatives, and people exploring sexuality or gender identity. I commonly support concerns like anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, communication struggles, grief, sexual concerns, ADHD, and trauma/PTSD, along with specialized areas like perinatal mental health, infidelity recovery, and alternative relationship structures, centering clients who are looking to heal and grow.”
“I work with a wide variety of adult clients struggling with anxiety, PTSD, dissociation, C-PTSD, and trauma.”
“Many of the clients that I work with struggle with persistent negative thoughts that weigh them down and create symptoms of anxiety and depression. They may feel stuck and unsure of how to create healthy changes. I help clients who have low self esteem and difficulty managing life transitions and decisions. I also work with clients who have endured a past trauma that are seeking real healing so they can live their lives more meaningfully.”
“I work with adults and couples who are ready to move beyond simply coping and begin understanding themselves more deeply. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, ADHD, autism, life transitions, grief, burnout, or a persistent feeling of being stuck despite years of insight and self reflection. I especially enjoy working with individuals who have spent much of their lives caring for others while struggling to identify and honor their own needs. My clients are often thoughtful, capable, and self aware, yet find themselves caught in patterns of overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from themselves and others. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and offer faith integrated counseling for those who would like their Christian faith incorporated into the therapeutic process.”
“You love your child deeply, but parenting feels harder than you ever expected. Maybe you are exhausted by constant power struggles, worried about your child's anxiety, big emotions, or behavior, or wondering why the strategies that seem to work for other families just are not working in yours. You may be carrying the weight of adoption, foster care, trauma, having a neurodivergent child no one else understands, or your coming to terms with your own childhood experiences while trying to be the parent you want to be. I work with parents who want things to feel different. You may know what is happening does not feel right, but not know how to shift it. Together, we will make sense of what brought you to therapy, maybe your child's unique nervous system, maybe your own experience of trauma as a child, while also strengthening your relationships, and building practical strategies that help your whole family feel more connected, confident, and supported.”
“I provide individual therapy services to adults with the goal of healing attachment and relational trauma, decreasing self defeating patterns, and increasing access to resiliency, autonomy, and fulfilling relationships with self and others. I work with adults of all ages and have additional experience working with folks who are experiencing perinatal mental health symptoms, folks in nontraditional relationships including polyamory, and folks who are experiencing substance use/abuse.”
“I work with adults of all ages, with a particular focus on young adults navigating transitional stages of life. My clients may be experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or other mental health concerns. I welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and provide care in both English and Spanish. As an LGBTQ+ ally, I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where every client feels heard and respected.”
“I frequently work with people around life transitions, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, gender and sexuality, acute and chronic trauma issues, self empowerment, parenting, chronic illness (invisible and visible) as well as grief and loss. I also provide support to those still practicing Covid precautions. I have specialized training with domestic violence/intimate partner violence and sexual assault.”
“I work with late teens, young adults, adults and older adults and welcome LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, and cishet white folx. We may be a good fit if you are struggling with relationships (including with self), transitions, spirituality, trauma, anxiety, depression or substance use. I support people from many walks of life and have specific experience working with other therapist/healer-types including First Responders/hospital workers, college-age individuals, and artists.”
Finding support for Trauma & PTSD
This page helps you find licensed mental health providers who offer online care for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Telehealth can widen your search beyond the nearest zip code, making it easier to compare providers who match your needs, schedule, language, and insurance. Because online therapy depends on where a provider is licensed and where you are physically located during each session, start by selecting the state or states where you expect to be during appointments. Then use filters like service type, therapy modality, language, age group, and insurance to narrow your results and find care that fits.
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 Trauma and PTSD
How do I use this page to find an online provider for trauma or PTSD?
Start by choosing the state where you will be during sessions, since telehealth care depends on licensure. Then use filters to narrow your results by service type, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and other preferences. The providers listed on this page have identified trauma and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as areas they work with, but it is still a good idea to speak with a provider directly to see whether their experience, approach, and availability feel like the right fit for you.
What should I ask before booking?
Ask whether the provider regularly works with trauma or PTSD, what online session formats they offer, and how they handle pacing if difficult emotions, memories, or triggers come up. It also helps to ask about fees, insurance, cancellation policies, availability, and what support looks like between sessions.
Does my online therapist have to live in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?
No. Your therapist usually does not need to live in your state, but they typically need to be licensed in the state where you are physically located during the session. If you travel, move, or spend time in more than one state, ask about that before booking. You can also browse therapists licensed in multiple states. Rules and provider policies can vary, so confirm directly.
Does insurance cover online therapy for trauma and PTSD, and how does payment usually work?
Often, yes, but coverage depends on your plan and the provider. Check whether the provider is in network, what your copay or deductible may be, and whether telehealth sessions are covered the same way as in-person visits. Some providers are self-pay and may offer a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Insurance filters on this page can help you find options that may fit your budget.
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 trauma or PTSD 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. Some people also do better with in-person care when symptoms feel too intense to manage safely at home. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.
What types of telehealth services are available for trauma and PTSD?
Depending on the provider, trauma and PTSD care may be available through individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, or group therapy. Some providers may also offer medication management. Use the service type filter to find the format that best matches your needs.
Can online therapy help with PTSD symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, or triggers?
It can for many people. Some online providers help clients work on flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, and trigger responses in a structured, gradual way that fits telehealth. When comparing profiles, look for experience with PTSD and ask how the provider approaches symptom management between sessions. Early appointments may focus on stability, coping skills, and helping you feel safe enough to continue.
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.
