Psyberspace Center for Psychedelic Therapy

LPCC, LPC, LMHC

“You've done the work. Read the books. Tried the breathing. Sat in years of therapy. And still — something feels stuck. I work with people just like you. High-achievers who look fine on paper but feel exhausted underneath. Entrepreneurs carrying invisible weight. Parents running on empty. Veterans and first responders running from memories they can't outrun. Couples caught in the same fight for the tenth year. You're not broken. You're burned out, traumatized, or stuck in patterns that won't budge — and traditional approaches haven't touched the root. If you've been told you're "too much" or "not enough," I see you. If you're ready for something deeper than talk — EMDR, KAP, somatic work — let's talk.”

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.”

Ember Psychotherapy Collective

LPCC

Licensed In:
Colorado, Massachusetts
“If you're in your 20s or 30s and the "just figure it out" phase feels more like free-fall — relationships, big transitions, the 3am existential questions — you're exactly who I love working with. I work with adults navigating identity transitions: career pivots, new parenthood, finishing school, layoffs, or the quieter realization that the life you've been building no longer fits. I came to this work through my own transition after a decade in tech startups, so I understand what it's like to question your path and grow into something not yet fully defined. I am also a new mom, with firsthand experience of the disorientation and identity shifts that come with early parenthood — so if you're in that season, you won't have to explain it from scratch.”

LMHC

Licensed In:

“If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or unsure of who you are or where you’re going, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a space where you feel grounded and comfortable showing up as you are, without pressure or judgment, while we make sense of what’s been weighing on you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, self-doubt, relationship challenges, family conflict, or major life transitions, my goal is to make you feel supported and respected while you gain insight and confidence in who you are and how to manage whatever comes your way. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults navigating the pressures of school, relationships, identity development, and expectations from others (and themselves). I also specialize in supporting athletes with confidence, focus, motivation, and returning to sport after injury while staying focused on who you are beyond performance.”

Breaking Cycles Therapy LLC

Licensed In:
California, Oregon
“Moms carry so much burden that’s unspoken, unseen. We are the emotional caretakers of the whole family while also trying to uphold expectations around homelife, work, physical appearance, relationships, and on and on. We carry the pressure of making sure everyone gets what they need, that nothing is forgotten, without getting what we need. We manage the impossible task of shielding our families from the harms of the world while also preparing them for it. All while trying to keep our own sanity. Then something big happens: job loss, family illness, mental health challenges, divorce or relationship issues, death of a loved one, a traumatic event. Yet we still keep going. Doing it all. We feel like we HAVE to do all these things or everything will fall apart. Something bad will happen. Our kids will suffer. It's time to put down the load. When moms feel lighter, families thrive.”

About Child Therapy

Online child therapy gives kids and caregivers access to support from a licensed mental health provider through secure video sessions. It can be a practical option for families looking for help with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavior concerns, school stress, social challenges, family changes, or other day-to-day struggles without adding more travel to the week.

Therapy Expanded helps you compare online child therapists by location, specialties, age groups served, therapy approaches, insurance, and availability. Depending on your child’s age and needs, sessions may include the child directly or involve a parent or caregiver. Looking for support for an adolescent? You may also want to browse teen therapy. If you want parenting support, parenting therapy may be a better fit.

What to Know About Online Child Therapy

Online child therapy is mental health support for children delivered through secure telehealth platforms, usually by video and sometimes by phone for parent sessions. It gives children and families access to care from home, which can make therapy easier to begin and easier to continue over time.

Child therapy usually looks different from therapy for teens or adults. Many children express themselves through play, drawing, stories, routines, behavior, and body language rather than long conversations about feelings. Because of that, virtual child therapy is often more interactive, visual, and structured than traditional talk therapy. Sessions may include games, feeling charts, coping tools, storytelling, movement, or parent guidance depending on the child’s needs and the therapist’s style.

Online child therapy may help with anxiety, emotional outbursts, behavior concerns, school stress, ADHD-related challenges, grief, social struggles, family transitions, low self-esteem, and difficulty adjusting to change. Some parents start looking for support because their child seems more worried, more sensitive, more irritable, or more withdrawn than usual. Others are looking for help with meltdowns, bedtime stress, separation worries, or hard moments at school and home.

Parents and caregivers are often an important part of the process. In many cases, progress happens not only during the therapy session, but also through what changes at home. A child therapist may work directly with the child while also helping caregivers better understand patterns, respond more effectively, and reinforce new skills between sessions.

For many families, online child therapy makes care more accessible. It can reduce travel time, simplify scheduling, and make it easier to stay consistent. At the same time, it is not the right fit for every child or every situation. Some children do better in person, and immediate safety concerns or more severe needs may call for a different kind of support.

How Does Online Child Therapy Work?

Online child therapy usually begins with finding a provider who works specifically with children and offers telehealth. Many provider profiles include the concerns they treat, their therapy style, fee information, insurance details, and availability so families can compare options before reaching out.

Once you book, there is usually an intake process where a parent or caregiver shares background information about the child, current concerns, family context, school-related challenges, and goals for therapy. Many child therapists begin with a parent session first so they can better understand what is going on before meeting with the child directly.

From there, sessions may include the child alone, the child and caregiver together, or a combination of both depending on the child’s needs and the therapist’s approach. Child therapy online is often active and guided. A therapist may use drawing, storytelling, games, emotion-identification tools, movement, breathing exercises, or short structured activities to help the child stay engaged and feel comfortable.

As therapy continues, the focus may be on helping the child name feelings, cope with worry, manage frustration, build confidence, improve behavior, strengthen social skills, or adjust to changes at home or school. Parents or caregivers may also receive support around routines, transitions, boundaries, and how to respond to difficult moments more effectively.

Like in-person therapy, online child therapy works best when there is consistency, patience, and collaboration. Some children warm up quickly. Others need more time. Progress may show up in small but meaningful ways, such as fewer meltdowns, stronger coping skills, better emotional language, or smoother daily routines.

How to Find the Right Online Provider for Child Therapy

Finding the right online child therapist starts with experience. Make sure the provider works specifically with children, not just teens or adults. Therapy with children requires a different approach, and it helps to choose someone who understands how to build connection and keep sessions engaging through telehealth.

Next, look for a provider whose experience matches your child’s needs. Some child therapists focus on anxiety, emotional regulation, and school stress. Others specialize in behavior concerns, grief, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, family transitions, or social difficulties. The closer the provider’s background is to what your child is dealing with, the more tailored the support is likely to feel.

It also helps to pay attention to therapy style. Some child therapists are playful and highly interactive. Others are more structured and skills-based. Some emphasize parent coaching, while others focus more on one-on-one child sessions with regular caregiver check-ins. Reading a provider’s profile can help you get a sense of whether their style feels like a good fit for your child and your family.

Practical fit matters too. Look at availability, session cost, insurance acceptance, cancellation policies, and how parent communication is handled. Because child therapy often involves the whole family in some way, logistics can make a real difference in whether the process feels sustainable.

When available, a consultation can be especially helpful. Ask what online child therapy usually looks like, how parents are involved, how the therapist handles distractibility or hesitation, and what kinds of concerns they most often work with. The right provider should feel experienced, warm, and able to create a space where both you and your child feel supported. Therapy Expanded makes that search easier by helping families compare online child therapists by specialty, insurance, availability, and telehealth fit.

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.

Online Child Therapy FAQs

What is online child therapy?

Online child therapy is counseling for children delivered remotely through secure telehealth platforms, usually by video. It is designed to help children work through emotional, behavioral, social, or family-related challenges with support from a licensed mental health provider.

What can online child therapy help with?

Online child therapy may help with anxiety, behavior concerns, emotional regulation, school stress, grief, trauma, family changes, friendship struggles, ADHD-related challenges, and low self-esteem. It can also support children who are having a hard time expressing feelings or adjusting to change.

Is online therapy effective for children?

For many children, yes. Online therapy can be a meaningful and effective way to build coping skills, improve emotional awareness, and support healthier behavior. The best fit depends on the child’s needs, attention, comfort with screens, home environment, and the therapist’s ability to adapt care for telehealth.

What does an online child therapy session look like?

That depends on the therapist’s approach and the child’s needs. Sessions may include games, drawing, visual tools, storytelling, coping-skill practice, emotion check-ins, or parent coaching. Online therapy for kids is often more interactive and activity-based than adult therapy.

How involved are parents or caregivers in online child therapy?

Parents and caregivers are often an important part of the process. Some therapists include caregivers in every session, while others schedule separate parent check-ins or use a mix of child sessions and parent coaching. In many cases, progress happens more effectively when the adults at home are part of the support system.

Is online child therapy just more screen time?

Not in the usual sense. Online child therapy is guided, structured, and purposeful. It is not passive entertainment. A skilled child therapist uses the online format as a tool for connection, emotional learning, and coping-skill development.

Will my child still feel a real connection with their therapist online?

Yes, many children do. A strong therapeutic connection comes from feeling safe, understood, and supported, not only from being in the same room. When the provider is a good fit and knows how to engage children through telehealth, online therapy can still feel warm, personal, and meaningful.

What if my child is shy, distracted, or does not want to participate at first?

That is very common. Many children need time to warm up, especially in a new setting. A skilled child therapist will know how to go slowly, build trust, and use developmentally appropriate strategies to help the child feel more comfortable over time.

How much does online child therapy cost, and can I use insurance?

The cost can vary by provider, credentials, location, and session length. Some therapists are private pay only, while others accept insurance or offer sliding-scale rates. It is a good idea to review the provider’s profile and confirm both the fee and insurance details before scheduling.

When is online child therapy not the right choice?

Online child therapy may not be the best fit when there are immediate safety concerns, severe crisis symptoms, no workable space for sessions, or needs that require more intensive in-person support. It may also be a poor fit for children who cannot meaningfully engage through telehealth even with a child-centered approach. In those situations, in-person therapy, a higher level of care, or local crisis support may be more appropriate.

What ages is online child therapy for?

Online child therapy is commonly for school-age children and preteens, but age ranges vary by provider. Review each therapist’s profile for age groups served, caregiver involvement, and experience with your child’s specific concerns.
