“I work with a wide variety of adult clients struggling with anxiety, PTSD, dissociation, C-PTSD, and trauma.”
“If you feel uncomfortable in your life, as though you're not moving forward the way you want to, this is your sign to try therapy. I work with people who are feeling anxious, who overthink, who have had bad experiences in relationships. I treat Anxiety, OCD, Hoarding Disorder, hair-pulling, skin-picking, and relationship and self-esteem issues.”
“I provide therapy to adults, couples and adolescents who are facing difficult life challenges/conflicts. I support clients who desire to improve their overall well-being, mental health and self-confidence so they can find more ease and peace and happiness in their lives and relationships. Even when change doesn't seem possible, seeking support is a sign of strength and we can start with small steps in the right direction. Many clients express feelings and experiences with anxiety, depression, irritability, grief, past trauma and/or overwhelm. Emotional distress and complicated relationship dynamics can be exhausting. So can feeling numb, agitated or feeling like you have to put on a "happy" face or can't take care of daily tasks. Therapy is a place to explore all of these thoughts/emotions and learn positive coping tools - so that you can feel better in your everyday life.”
“I work with high-functioning adults and couples who may look successful on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship wounds, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, grief, or a deep sense of disconnection from themselves. Many of my clients are helpers, creatives, professionals, therapists, musicians, caregivers, and highly sensitive people who have spent years holding everything together for everyone else. I also work with adults healing from childhood trauma, attachment wounds, narcissistic abuse, emotionally immature family systems, and experiences that still live in the body long after the events are over. My practice is especially supportive for clients who want more than traditional talk therapy and are drawn to experiential, somatic, creative, and trauma-focused approaches that help create lasting emotional and nervous system change.”
“I specialize in working with adult clients in an individual therapy setting. Most of my clients are a part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, have experienced trauma or are struggling with emotion regulation. I work well with many diagnoses, such as personality disorders, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, and depression.”
“So many of the adults I work with are high-functioning on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside. Anxiety has become a constant companion. Something from the past still shows up in unexpected ways, affecting relationships, sense of safety, or how they see themselves. And no matter what they accomplish, it never feels like enough. If you're hard on yourself, caught in cycles of perfectionism, or carrying more than you let on, you're not alone. I work with adults navigating anxiety, healing from trauma, and untangling the belief that their worth depends on what they produce or how perfectly they perform. My approach is warm and collaborative, and I'll meet you exactly where you are.”
“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.”
“Let’s talk about the struggle because it’s real! I work with clients whose anxiety has become crippling or whose depression has stopped them from forging forward in life. These issues can become a roadblock to success in relationships, career, and just enjoying life.”
“Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stretched thin are common experiences for the folks I work with. Many of my clients struggle with burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, insomnia, relationship stress, or the sense that they're not quite "doing enough." Sometimes big transitions, like early parenthood, career shifts, or divorce are contributing to this, and sometimes it's just due to patterns folks have learned that were once helpful for surviving day to day, but aren't serving them anymore. The clients I work with often want to find relief from anxiety, depression, or OCD, but also improve their sense of balance in their lives, working toward creating sustainable change.”
“I test/diagnose patients with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder to provide accurate cognitive profiles, diagnoses and treatment recommendations. I also provide therapy to those with neurodivergence who want to learn executive functioning and social skills while also learning how their neurodivergence may impact their mood and daily functioning. I adapt evidence-based protocols (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT, MI) to become neurodivergent friendly and spend much time incorporating family members and also treating family members of a neurodivergent person to provide psychoeducation and guidance and help patients reduce masking and camouflaging. I also LOVE to work with patients going through the transition from high school to college. Developmentally this period of time is so vulnerable and I ensure patients have mood support, ADHD accommodations/skills, and coping skills for adjustment.”

“Trauma, Anxiety, Depression,Life Transitions, Grief and Loss.”
Online individual therapy is one-on-one mental health support with a licensed therapist through secure video sessions. It can help with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, identity, relationship patterns, or personal growth in a private space focused on your goals.
Therapy Expanded helps you compare licensed online therapists by state, specialty, therapy approach, insurance, language, and availability. If your main concern involves your relationship with a partner, you may want to browse couples counseling. If you are considering medication or need diagnostic clarification, medication management or psychological testing and evaluations may also be helpful.
Online individual therapy is one-on-one mental health support delivered remotely through video, phone, or other secure telehealth tools, depending on the provider. It offers many of the same benefits people look for in traditional therapy: a private space to talk openly, build coping skills, work through patterns, and get support from a licensed mental health professional.
For many people, online therapy makes care easier to access. You can attend sessions from home, fit appointments around work or family responsibilities, and explore providers beyond your immediate area. That can be especially helpful if local options are limited, transportation is a challenge, or you feel more comfortable starting therapy in a familiar environment.
Online individual therapy may support concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, self-esteem, relationship patterns, and major life transitions. Some people use it for short-term support around a specific issue, while others use therapy as an ongoing part of their mental health care.
At the same time, online therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Some clients prefer in-person sessions, need local hands-on support, or have limited privacy at home. The best fit depends on your goals, symptoms, comfort with technology, and the kind of therapeutic relationship you want. A qualified provider can help you decide whether telehealth is the right place to begin.
Getting started with online individual therapy is often straightforward. You begin by browsing provider profiles, comparing specialties, fees, insurance information, and availability. Many therapists and mental health providers also offer a consultation or intake call, giving you a chance to ask questions and see whether the fit feels right.
Once you book a session, your provider will usually send intake forms, consent paperwork, and instructions for joining your appointment. Most online therapy sessions take place over secure video, though some providers also offer phone sessions. Before the first appointment, it helps to find a quiet, private space where you can speak comfortably and minimize interruptions.
During your first few sessions, your therapist will typically learn more about what brought you to therapy, what you want support with, and what goals you have for the process. Together, you may talk through current challenges, past experiences, emotional patterns, and practical tools that could help between sessions.
From there, therapy usually continues on a regular schedule, often weekly or biweekly. Some therapists take a structured, goal-oriented approach, while others create more space for reflection and deeper emotional processing. Like in-person therapy, online therapy works best as a collaborative process built on trust, honesty, and consistency.
Finding the right online provider starts with the basics: make sure they offer telehealth, are available when you need appointments, and are licensed to work with clients in your location. From there, look for someone whose specialties match the support you want, whether that is anxiety, trauma, grief, identity exploration, burnout, life transitions, or relationship concerns.
Next, read beyond the credentials. A provider’s profile can tell you a lot about how they work. Some therapists are warm and conversational. Others are more direct, structured, or skills-based. You may also want to look for experience with your age group, cultural background, faith perspective, or identity-related concerns. Feeling understood matters.
Practical fit is just as important as clinical fit. Pay attention to session cost, insurance acceptance, cancellation policies, and whether the provider offers video, phone, or both. A therapist who is a strong match on paper may still not be the right choice if their schedule, fees, or communication style do not work for your life.
When available, use a consultation to ask a few key questions: What kinds of clients do you usually work with? What does online therapy with you typically look like? How do you approach the concerns I’m bringing in? Those answers can help you get a clearer sense of whether the relationship feels promising.
Most importantly, trust the human side of the process. The right provider should help you feel safe, respected, and supported. And if the first match does not feel right, that does not mean therapy is not for you. It may just mean you have not found the right fit yet. Our directory makes that search easier by helping you compare providers, narrow your options, and connect with care that feels sustainable.

Online individual therapy is one-on-one counseling provided remotely through telehealth. Sessions are usually held by video, though some providers also offer phone appointments. It gives you direct support from a licensed mental health professional without needing to visit an office in person.
The biggest difference is the format. In online therapy, you meet remotely rather than in a physical office. The goals of therapy often stay the same: building insight, learning coping tools, processing emotions, and working toward meaningful change. For many people, the flexibility of online care is a major advantage.
For many people, yes. A 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis found telemedicine comparable to in-person treatment for PTSD, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders, with similar patient satisfaction, working alliance, and attrition rates; other meta-analyses also found video-based psychotherapy to be largely equivalent to face-to-face care.
Online therapy may help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship patterns, and everyday emotional overwhelm. It can also be a space for personal growth, identity exploration, boundary-setting, and ongoing mental wellness support.
Not necessarily, but your therapist usually needs to be licensed or authorized to see clients in the state where you are physically located during sessions. You do not always need to be in the same city, but location rules can matter with telehealth, so it is a good idea to confirm before booking.
Reputable providers typically use secure platforms designed for telehealth and will review privacy practices as part of the intake process. You can also help protect your privacy by taking sessions in a quiet room, using headphones, and making sure you have a reliable internet connection.
The cost of online therapy varies by provider, credentials, specialty, and location. Some therapists offer self-pay rates, while others provide sliding-scale options to make care more affordable. A provider profile will often list fees or let you request pricing details before your first session.
Many insurance plans include coverage for telehealth mental health services, but benefits can vary. Your out-of-pocket cost may depend on your plan, deductible, copay, and whether the provider is in network. It is worth checking both the provider profile and your insurance benefits before getting started.
Yes, many people do. A strong therapeutic connection is built through trust, consistency, empathy, and feeling understood, not just by being in the same room. For many clients, online therapy still feels personal, supportive, and emotionally connected. That said, every person is different. If the connection does not feel right, it is okay to talk with your therapist about it or explore another provider who may be a better fit.
Sometimes. It depends on where you are physically located during sessions and whether your therapist is licensed or otherwise authorized there. For help searching across locations, see our guide to finding a therapist licensed in multiple states.
Online therapy may not be the best fit if you are in immediate crisis, need emergency support, require a higher level of care, or do not have a private space for sessions. In those situations, in-person services or local crisis resources may be more appropriate. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, 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.
