Licensed In:
Florida, Idaho, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Vermont
“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.”

Hablemos Therapy and The Call to Resilience

LCSW

Licensed In:
Illinois
“You’ve been trained to stay composed, act fast, and keep going no matter what you see. The calls come and go, but the images from the job aren’t filed away so easily. They make you irritable at home, distant in relationships, and constantly on edge – even when nothing is happening. Sleep is restless, patience is thin, and your body reacts before your mind catches up. People don’t know what it’s like to carry so much responsibility. Asking for help can feel like weakness or risk, but let’s face it: Pushing through isn’t working anymore. What you want is relief, control, and a way to feel steady without staying on constant alert.”

“I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and difficult life transitions. I especially serve first responders, military members, and their families facing chronic stress, trauma exposure, relationship strain, or the emotional toll of service. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying too much alone. Some struggle with unresolved trauma, intrusive thoughts, burnout, or depression. Others are facing relationship challenges, loss, or identity shifts. You may appear high-functioning on the outside while internally feeling anxious, numb, or alone. If you want to address root issues and not just manage symptoms, I offer a compassionate space to process, heal, and build resilience so you can feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful.”

Pro Neuro Counseling

LCSW

Licensed In:
Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia
“I work with neurodivergent adults navigating things like burnout, masking, depression, anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress and chronic illness including EDS, POTS and MCAS. Many of the people I work with are late-diagnosed or questioning whether they may be autistic and/or ADHD, and are trying to untangle years of feeling misunderstood, “too much,” or disconnected from their own needs. I often help clients explore patterns like rumination, perfectionism, people-pleasing, rejection sensitivity, shame, and chronic self-criticism while building more sustainable ways of coping and relating to themselves. I also support clients in navigating sensory needs, boundaries, identity exploration, burnout recovery, and the emotional impact of living in systems that were not designed with neurodivergent people in mind.”

“Are you a couple trying to find more effective ways to communicate and repair? Do you struggle with finding a middle ground with so many differences keeping you apart? Are you an individual coping with grief or another type of loss or life change? Maybe you’ve lost a loved one, pet, or part of yourself and life just doesn’t feel the same anymore. Maybe you are needing support around perinatal mental health or starting a family. Maybe you are coping with midlife issues like aging parents, empty nest, divorce, health issues, or menopause that make you feel like you don’t know yourself anymore.

About Individual Therapy

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.

What to Know About Online Individual Therapy

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.

How Does Online Individual Therapy Work?

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.

How to Find the Right Online Therapist for Individual Therapy.

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.

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 Individual Therapy FAQs

What is online individual therapy?

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.

How is online individual therapy different from in-person therapy?

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.

Is online therapy effective?

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.

What can online individual therapy help with?

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.

Do I need to live in the same state as my therapist?

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.

Is online therapy private and secure?

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.

How much does online individual therapy cost?

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.

Can I use insurance for online therapy?

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.

Will I still feel a real connection with my therapist online?

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.

Can I keep seeing the same therapist if I move or travel?

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.

When is online therapy not the right choice?

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.
