Licensed In:

“I try not to limit who I work with, but over time it has become clear I am particularly helpful for people who feel stuck in their patterns. That might be a habit of ruminating on the past or anxious worry about the future for example. Sometimes stuck patterns are interpersonal, like repeating the same arguments with a loved one or falling into what feels like the same relationship over and over again. Other times stuck patterns relates to work, school, or struggles with every-day tasks and chores. One more pattern I often work with is internal: habitually feeling the same distressing feeling. People in these situations have generally tried a lot and are confused about what's not working, frustrated or even hopeless about the prospect of change.”

“I work with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck. Many of the clients I support are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, loneliness, grief, or difficulties understanding and meeting their own needs. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel that something needs to change, therapy can be a place to gain clarity, develop new tools, and feel supported. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest, vulnerable, and empowered to move forward.

About Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Use the directory above to find a therapist who offers this approach. Compare profiles for their approach, availability, fees, and insurance.

Select the states where you’ll attend sessions, then ask the therapist to confirm they can work with you in each state.

What to expect

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, present-focused therapy that helps you notice patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and work on changes that feel realistic in daily life. In online CBT sessions, you might talk through a recent situation, identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice coping tools, or set small goals to try between appointments. People often look for CBT when they want support with anxiety, stress, depression, panic, worry, low motivation, sleep problems, or habits that keep them stuck. If you want a therapy style that is active, organized, and focused on building skills you can use outside sessions, CBT may be worth exploring.

How to choose a therapist

Not every therapist who mentions Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses it the same way. Some keep sessions very structured and skill-based, while others blend CBT into a broader therapy style. As you compare profiles, look for signs of fit in how the therapist describes their approach, pacing, and communication style. You may want someone who is direct and goal-oriented, or someone who uses CBT more flexibly and collaboratively. Before booking, ask practical questions about what sessions usually look like, whether they suggest between-session exercises, how they track progress, and how they adapt CBT for your specific concerns.

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.

Questions about this approach

How do I use this page to find an online therapist who offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

Start by choosing the state or states where you expect to be during sessions, since telehealth availability depends on licensure and your physical location at the time of care. Then use filters to narrow by service type, age group, language, insurance, and therapy approach. Read profiles closely to see how each therapist describes using CBT, what concerns they work with, and whether their style feels like a match.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask how the therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions, what concerns they commonly help with, and how structured their approach tends to be. It can also help to ask how often they meet with clients, whether they suggest exercises between sessions, how they handle scheduling and cancellations, and whether they take your insurance or offer self-pay options. Small questions often make choosing easier.

Does my therapist have to be licensed in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?

In general, your therapist needs to be allowed to provide care in the state where you are physically located during the session, not just where you live. That matters if you travel, split time between states, or move. A therapist may be able to see clients in more than one state, but it depends on their license and the states involved. You can learn more on our find a therapist licensed in multiple states page.

What does online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) therapy usually look like?

Online CBT often feels practical and focused. You and your therapist may talk through a current problem, notice patterns in thoughts and reactions, and choose a skill or strategy to practice in daily life. Some therapists use worksheets, tracking tools, or brief exercises between sessions, while others keep it more conversational. The exact format varies, so it helps to ask how they usually run CBT online.

How can I tell whether a therapist is really a good fit for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) therapy?

Look beyond whether a profile simply lists CBT. A good fit usually means the therapist’s style matches what you want from care. Some people want clear structure, feedback, and concrete tools. Others want CBT blended with a warmer, less rigid approach. Compare profiles for tone, areas of focus, and session style, then ask questions before booking to see whether their version of CBT fits your goals.

Does insurance cover online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) therapy, and how does payment usually work?

Coverage often depends more on the therapist, your plan, and the telehealth benefit than on CBT alone. Some therapists are in-network, while others provide self-pay rates and a superbill you may be able to submit for reimbursement. Before booking, check whether the therapist accepts your insurance, what your out-of-pocket cost may be, and whether online mental health visits are covered under your plan.

When is online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) therapy not the right choice?

Online CBT 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. It may also feel frustrating if you do not want a goal-focused approach right now. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.

How structured or homework-based is online CBT?

It depends on the therapist. Some offer a very structured form of CBT with clear goals, practice exercises, and check-ins between sessions. Others use CBT tools more loosely and keep sessions more discussion-based. If you have strong preferences, ask directly. Knowing whether a therapist expects regular between-session practice can help you choose someone whose pace and style feel realistic for you.

Can online CBT help if I tend to overthink or get stuck in negative thought patterns?

Many people look for CBT for exactly that reason. CBT is often used to help people notice repeated thinking patterns, step back from them, and respond in a more balanced way. That does not mean every therapist will approach overthinking the same way. Read profiles for language about worry, rumination, anxiety, self-criticism, or coping tools, and ask how they work with those concerns online.

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.
