“I work with adult individuals who are navigating trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but carry deeper emotional pain, unresolved past experiences, or patterns in relationships that feel hard to change. I specialize in supporting AANHPI and other BIPOC clients who are exploring cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, and the impact of family or societal expectations. My clients are often seeking deeper healing and meaningful shifts in how they understand themselves, their relationships, and their emotional world. Together we work toward greater clarity, self-compassion, and lasting change.”
“My practice and I specialize in peoples relationships with food and body. We address the complex PTSD that underlies our complicated relationships with others and ourselves.”

Clients who are ready to look at and improve the relationship they have with themselves and/or others are ones she is able to best serve. Jennifer is passionate about Men's mental health, clients who are looking to improve in the following areas: self worth, overcome people pleasing, codependency and learn how to create and implement effective boundaries. She am also able to offer faith based counseling and incorporate a spiritual component to clients upon request.”
“People often come to therapy feeling exhausted from carrying too much for too long. You may feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed in relationships, struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety, dissociation, burnout, or painful patterns that keep repeating despite your insight and effort. I work with adults navigating complex trauma, attachment wounds, relational struggles, life transitions, and loss. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years “holding it together” while feeling emotionally overwhelmed underneath. I work with adults, teens, and kids as young as age 5.”
The Loop Center for Social & Emotional Development
Resident in Counseling
“Hi, I’m Adam, a Resident in Counseling at the Loop Center. I work with teens, young adults (college students), adults, and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, and self-esteem. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or unsure how to move forward—therapy can be a space to gain clarity, rebuild connection, and create meaningful change. I support clients with both the daily stressors of life and deeper emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Past experiences—especially unresolved emotional memories—often shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world.”
“I work with individuals experiencing concerns related to neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, caregiver stress, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, communication difficulties, and general life dissatisfaction. I also support parents and caregivers in developing practical, compassionate strategies for children who are neurodiverse or need additional support. My approach is collaborative and empowering, with a strong focus on respecting your nervous system, personal history, and inner strengths. I integrate mindfulness and values-based work, trauma processing, emotional regulation skills, and body-based awareness to create a therapy experience tailored to you. Together, we work toward greater understanding, flexibility, and a life that feels more aligned with your values.”
“Many of the people I work with are capable, thoughtful individuals who feel like their mind is constantly busy. You may struggle with focus, organization, racing thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities. Some patients come in with diagnoses such as ADHD, anxiety, or depression, while others simply sense that their brain works differently and want to understand why things feel harder than they should. I often work with adults who are juggling work, school, relationships, and high expectations for themselves but feel stuck in cycles of stress, procrastination, or self-doubt. My goal is to help you better understand how your mind works, reduce the overwhelm, and develop strategies that support focus, emotional balance, and confidence in daily life.”
“I work with adolescents and adults who may look like they’re handling everything on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. Many of my clients are navigating trauma or PTSD, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, major life transitions, career uncertainty, identity concerns, or the emotional and physical changes that can accompany menopause. I’m especially well suited for clients who want more than a place to vent. You may want to better understand why you think, feel, or respond the way you do, recognize patterns, learn practical tools, and be appropriately challenged along the way. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin exactly where you are and work together to determine where you want to go.”
“Helaina has extensive experience working with trauma survivors and individuals from varying backgrounds and life circumstances. She works with her clients to set appropriate and realistic goals with an over-arching sense of compassion and understanding. Taking a holistic solution-focused and collaborative approach, she helps individuals understand the root causes of their stress, anxiety and/or depression.”
“18+ I offer therapy online (CA, MI, ND, MN, AZ & WI). In-person (CA only). Availability is afternoons, evenings and weekends (Pacific Time).”
“I work primarily with adults who have the desire to overcome past trauma in order to break free from negative thoughts and beliefs that hold them back from achieving their goals in the present. I am passionate about working with women who are coping with life experiences and shifts including body image concerns, fertility/infertility, hormone changes, postpartum concerns, and the challenge of life balance as responsibilities add up.”
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.
