“Adults with mental health, addiction, and/or trauma; LGBTQIA+; First responders; military; emerging adults; seniors”
“Teens 12 and older, adults, couples”
“Whether you’re navigating chronic pain, disordered eating, parenting struggles, or big life transitions, you deserve support that feels grounding, compassionate, and practical. I help adults, parents, and families learn how to regulate their emotions, strengthen relationships, reduce anxiety, and find real relief — even when life feels heavy or chaotic.”
“I work with adults and young adults (18+) experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and challenges related to work, school, or personal growth. I have a particular interest in helping men, professionals, entrepreneurs, college students, and young professionals develop healthier coping strategies, improve relationships, and build more fulfilling lives. My approach is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping clients create meaningful, lasting change.”
“Adults only-individuals, couples, some family/siblings. Issues include depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues, chronic health issues, anger issues, BPD and NPD, addiction, fertility and navigating IVF/parenting, grief, trauma, breakups, navigating life as a single person.”
“I’m a therapist in Sherman Oaks, CA and I work with young adults (ages 18–28) who are navigating college, work, identity development, and the challenges of “adulting.” I provide warm, direct, and neurodivergent-affirming therapy for people dealing with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, and general mental health concerns.”
“Eva is a trauma-informed therapist working with adults and adolescents, offering a compassionate, collaborative space for healing and growth. She integrates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), alongside mindfulness and somatic practices to support meaningful, lasting change. Eva specializes in trauma, relational challenges, parent coaching, grief and loss, and postpartum support. With warmth and deep attunement, she helps clients make sense of their experiences, regulate emotional distress, and identify and shift long-held narratives that may be keeping them stuck.”
“You might be struggling to understand why you fall into the same damaging patterns in your relationships. Or why, no matter how much you want to, you just can't seem to let yourself be vulnerable with the people you love most. Or maybe you're facing questions about your path in life and trying to fit into a predetermined mold. I believe we shouldn't have to force ourselves to blend into one aspect of our identities. We deserve to embrace all parts of ourselves and create our own unique balance from our cultural, gender, emotional identities and more.”
“I work with children ages 6+, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, identity development, life transitions, attachment concerns, and family stress. I also specialize in supporting individuals and families impacted by adoption, kinship care, foster care, and out-of-home placement experiences. 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. With adults and families, I provide space to process experiences, strengthen communication, and move toward healing, connection, and growth.”
“My ideal clients are couples and families who genuinely care about one another but feel stuck in painful patterns they don’t know how to break. They may be rebuilding trust after betrayal, navigating the stress of parenthood or major life transitions, or struggling to reconnect with a teen who feels distant. They aren’t looking for someone to take sides—they want clarity, tools, and a path forward. They’re ready to move beyond blame and toward healing, stronger communication, and lasting change.”
“EFT understands distress in relationships as centered in the loss of secure emotional connection. When this happens, a negative cycle or “dance” develops as each partner tries to cope with the loss of connection. In these negative cycles, you may notices you respond with anger, criticism, distancing, silence, or distracting yourself, to name a few common responses. Once established, these negative cycles can crop up over the slightest issue, and over time can be corrosive to the bonds of trust and security in your relationship.”
“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.”
Online family therapy helps family members work on communication, conflict, transitions, parenting stress, sibling concerns, grief, divorce or separation, behavioral concerns, or patterns that keep repeating at home. Sessions may include the whole family, parents or caregivers only, siblings, adult family members, or different combinations over time.
Therapy Expanded helps you compare licensed online family therapists by state, family concerns, age groups served, therapy approach, insurance, language, and availability. If you are looking for therapy for one child or adolescent directly, browse child therapy or teen therapy. If the focus is parent guidance, co-parenting support, or your role as a caregiver, parenting therapy may be a better fit.
Online family therapy is a form of counseling that helps families work through challenges together using secure telehealth platforms, usually by video and sometimes by phone. Instead of focusing on just one person, family therapy looks at patterns within the family system: how people communicate, respond to conflict, support one another, and navigate stress as a group.
For many families, online therapy can make support more accessible. It may be easier to schedule sessions around school, work, childcare, or shared custody arrangements. It can also open up access to providers outside your immediate area, which may be especially helpful if you are looking for a therapist with experience in parenting concerns, child and teen mental health, blended family dynamics, grief, trauma, or major life transitions.
Online family therapy can support a wide range of concerns, including communication breakdowns, frequent conflict, parenting stress, sibling tension, behavioral concerns, divorce or separation, grief, illness, trauma, and adjustment to major changes at home. Some families seek therapy during a difficult season. Others use it to build stronger communication, healthier boundaries, and more supportive relationships over time.
It is also important to know that family therapy does not always mean every family member will be in every session. Depending on the provider and the goals of therapy, sessions may include the whole family, parents or caregivers only, siblings together, or different combinations over time. The therapist’s role is to help the family better understand what is happening beneath the surface and create healthier ways of relating.
That said, online family therapy is not the right fit for every situation. If there are serious safety concerns, ongoing abuse, coercion, or a family member cannot participate openly, a different type of support may be more appropriate. A qualified provider can help determine whether telehealth family therapy makes sense for your situation.
Online family therapy usually begins by finding a provider who offers telehealth and has experience working with families. Many provider profiles list the age groups they work with, the types of family concerns they treat, their therapy style, fees, and scheduling details. Some also offer a consultation so you can ask questions before getting started.
After booking, you will typically complete intake forms and receive instructions for joining your session online. Depending on the family’s needs and the therapist’s approach, sessions may take place with everyone joining from one home, from separate devices in different rooms, or from different households altogether. A private setting, working technology, and clear expectations about who will attend can help sessions run more smoothly.
In the first few sessions, the therapist will usually learn about your family structure, the current challenges, and what everyone hopes will improve. You may talk about communication issues, emotional outbursts, discipline concerns, family stress, transitions, unresolved conflict, or patterns that keep repeating at home. The goal is not to assign blame to one person, but to understand how the family system is functioning and where change may be possible.
As therapy continues, sessions may focus on communication tools, emotional regulation, boundary-setting, conflict repair, parenting support, or helping family members better understand one another’s perspectives. Some therapists take a structured, skills-based approach, while others focus more on insight, family roles, and deeper relational patterns. Like in-person family therapy, online therapy works best when the people involved are willing to participate honestly and stay engaged in the process.
Finding the right online provider for family therapy starts with the practical basics. Make sure the therapist offers telehealth, works with families, and is licensed to provide care where participants will be located during sessions. If family members live in different households or states, that is especially important to confirm early.
Next, look for a provider whose experience matches your family’s needs. Some family therapists specialize in parenting and behavior concerns. Others focus on teens, blended families, divorce and co-parenting, grief, trauma, sibling conflict, or communication issues. A therapist with relevant experience is more likely to understand the dynamics you are navigating and offer support that feels useful.
It also helps to pay attention to the therapist’s style. Some family therapists are practical and structured, offering communication strategies, parenting tools, and clear steps to work on between sessions. Others take a more reflective approach, helping family members understand roles, emotional patterns, and long-standing dynamics. Reading provider bios can give you a sense of whether their approach feels like a good fit for your family.
Logistics matter too. Look at session cost, insurance information, scheduling options, cancellation policies, and whether the therapist allows family members to join from different locations. With family therapy, convenience can make a real difference in whether the process feels sustainable for everyone involved.
When available, a consultation can be a helpful next step. Ask what online family therapy with them usually looks like, who typically attends sessions, how they work with children or teens if relevant, and what kinds of family concerns they most often treat. The right provider should feel experienced, balanced, and able to create a space where different family members can be heard. Our directory makes that search easier by helping you compare providers and connect with care that fits your needs.

Online family therapy is counseling for families delivered through telehealth. Sessions are usually held by video and may include parents, children, caregivers, siblings, or other family members, depending on the goals of therapy and the therapist’s approach.
Individual therapy focuses on one person’s thoughts, emotions, and goals. Family therapy looks at how people interact as a system. The goal is often to improve communication, reduce conflict, strengthen relationships, and help the family function more effectively together.
Online family therapy may help with communication problems, parenting stress, sibling conflict, behavioral concerns, divorce or separation, blended family adjustment, grief, trauma, major life transitions, and ongoing tension at home. Some families also use therapy to strengthen already caring relationships and build healthier patterns.
Not always. Some sessions may include the whole family, while others may involve only parents or caregivers, siblings, or selected family members. The structure usually depends on the therapist’s approach and what will be most helpful for the family’s goals.
Yes, many family therapists work with children and teens as part of online family therapy. The therapist may adjust the format based on age, attention span, developmental needs, and the specific concerns being addressed.
Often, yes. Many online family therapists can work with family members joining from different homes or separate devices. However, licensing rules may still apply based on where each participant is physically located during the session, so it is important to confirm this with the provider in advance.
For many families, yes. Research suggests online family therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy, especially in structured family-based treatments. A 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis found telehealth family therapy produced outcomes comparable to face-to-face care across many parent, child, and family measures, and reported no studies in which telehealth outcomes were worse than in-person treatment.
Yes, many families do. A strong therapeutic connection comes from feeling understood, respected, and supported, not only from being in the same room. Online family therapy can still feel personal, engaging, and collaborative when the provider is a good fit and the family is comfortable with the format.
The cost of online family therapy varies by provider, location, session length, and specialty. Some therapists are private pay only, while others may offer sliding-scale options. Provider profiles often include fee information or make it easy to ask about pricing before scheduling.
Sometimes. Insurance coverage for family therapy and telehealth can vary by plan and provider. It is a good idea to check with both the provider and your insurance company to understand what may be covered and what your out-of-pocket costs could be.
Online family therapy may not be the best fit when there are immediate safety concerns, ongoing abuse, coercion, severe instability, or situations where someone cannot participate openly. In those cases, in-person care, individual support, or local crisis services may be more appropriate. If anyone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8 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.
