“You might be a high achiever, perfectionist, or executive who appears successful but feels anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. As an executive, you may be navigating a new role, struggling to connect with your team, or noticing gaps that affect leadership and balance. You could be a helper or professional carrying so much for others that you’ve lost connection with yourself. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, in grief or trauma, or seeking deeper connection in a partnership, clarity on next steps, or tools to manage anxiety and obsessive thoughts. No matter your path, you’re ready to reclaim balance, deepen connection, and move forward with clarity, resilience, and purpose in life, work, and relationships.”
“I work with high-achieving women of color who may appear strong and capable on the outside while privately navigating emotional exhaustion, relationship struggles, anxiety, unresolved trauma, or patterns that keep repeating. I support women working through childhood, relational, and generational trauma, PTSD/CPTSD, attachment concerns, codependency, grief, and difficulties with boundaries and self-trust. My work is especially supportive for women who are ready to understand the experiences shaping their relationships, heal old emotional wounds, and reconnect with themselves with greater confidence, authenticity, and emotional freedom.”
“I work with adults (18+), especially women navigating trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also support veterans coping with the lasting impact of stress and trauma, and individuals experiencing complicated grief—especially when loss feels unresolved. In couples counseling, I help partners break patterns of conflict, improve communication, and rebuild connection. If you’re going through a life transition—whether expected or sudden—you might feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost your sense of direction. Together, we can work to help you regain clarity and a stronger sense of self. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and real. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to be honest, understood without judgment, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.”
“I help clients manage stressors tied to school, work, and identity. Since everyone feels differently, I tailor my approach, integrating tools to regulate emotions while honoring the unique systems and environments you live in. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or emotions that feel difficult to manage. Others are navigating life transitions, identity development, family conflict, or the unique challenges that come with growing up in today’s world. I especially like helping clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and develop practical tools they can use long after therapy ends. I enjoy working with children and tweens with big emotions, with a strong emphasis on parent involvement. I also have a passion for working with children of immigrant families and individuals navigating cultural or generational experiences within their families.”
“I work with adults and couples who are ready to move beyond simply coping and begin understanding themselves more deeply. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, ADHD, autism, life transitions, grief, burnout, or a persistent feeling of being stuck despite years of insight and self reflection. I especially enjoy working with individuals who have spent much of their lives caring for others while struggling to identify and honor their own needs. My clients are often thoughtful, capable, and self aware, yet find themselves caught in patterns of overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from themselves and others. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and offer faith integrated counseling for those who would like their Christian faith incorporated into the therapeutic process.”
“I love working with clients experiencing autoimmune symptoms, such as foggy brain, low energy, chronic pain, insomnia, depression, or anxiety related to autoimmune disorders,(peri) menopause, or complex trauma showing up somatically. I incorporate various earth based practices and am a safe space for those who have been ignored, feel unheard, or unseen by other medical professionals.”
“I primarily practice with older teens and young adults in the areas of anxiety, depression, adjustment-related stress, women's health, gender and identity exploration, trauma and relationships.”
“I work with a wide variety of adult clients struggling with anxiety, PTSD, dissociation, C-PTSD, and trauma.”
“The typical clients I work with are usually insightful, self-aware, and high-achieving in many areas of life. When so much of life seems to be going “right,” it can feel confusing or frustrating to experience feelings of inadequacy, emptiness, feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, difficulties with emotional regulation/processing, feelings of anxiety, loss of interest in things once enjoyed, feeling “burned out,” sleep disturbance, and/ or difficulties within relationships. I have extensive experience in working with therapists, emergency medicine physicians, and firefighters.”
“I am a generalist who works with a wide variety of adults. Most of my training is in relationships and sexuality.”
“18 years and older, seeking individual counseling services.”

What to expect
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy approach often used to help people process distressing memories, trauma, anxiety, panic, grief, and experiences that still feel emotionally “stuck.” EMDR uses structured steps that may include focusing on a memory, noticing body sensations or emotions, and using guided eye movements, tapping, or other forms of "bilateral stimulation" to reduce the emotional intensity of memories.
In online EMDR therapy, your therapist may start by teaching you skills for managing strong emotions and helping you feel prepared to approach distressing memories. EMDR may be worth exploring if you want a structured approach to working through difficult experiences without having to retell the details of the event.
How to choose a therapist
When comparing online EMDR therapists, look for someone who explains their process clearly and moves at a pace that feels manageable. EMDR can bring up strong emotions, so finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is important. You may want to ask how the therapist prepares clients before memory processing, how they handle grounding during telehealth sessions, and what happens if you feel overwhelmed between appointments.
Not every therapist who offers EMDR uses it the same way. Some may use EMDR as their primary approach, while others may integrate it with other therapy modalities. Review profiles, compare experience with your concerns, and ask questions before booking.
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 EMDR?
Start by choosing the state where you will be physically located during sessions. Then use filters to narrow your results by service type, age group, language, insurance, and therapy type. Review therapist profiles to see how they describe Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), what concerns they commonly work with, and whether their communication style feels like a good match before reaching out.
What should I ask before booking?
Ask how the therapist uses EMDR in online sessions, what preparation usually looks like, and whether they combine EMDR with other therapy approaches. You can also ask about session length, pacing, insurance, self-pay rates, cancellation policies, and what you should do if strong emotions come up between appointments. A good first conversation can help you understand whether their style feels supportive and clear.
Does my therapist have to be licensed in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?
In most cases, your therapist needs to be licensed where you are physically located during the session, not only where you live. If you travel, tell your therapist before your appointment so they can confirm whether they can still provide care while you are in that state. You can also learn more about finding a therapist licensed in multiple states.
Can EMDR be done virtually through telehealth therapy?
Yes, many therapists offer EMDR through telehealth. Online EMDR may use visual cues on screen, audio cues, tapping, or other forms of bilateral stimulation. The therapist should explain how sessions will work, help you set up a private and comfortable space, and make sure you have grounding tools before deeper processing begins. Ask how they adapt EMDR for online care.
Who is EMDR best for?
EMDR is commonly associated with trauma, post-traumatic stress, painful memories, anxiety, panic, grief, and distress linked to past experiences. It may be a good fit if you feel like certain memories, reactions, or body responses are still affecting your daily life. EMDR is not only about talking through events; it is often used when someone wants a structured way to process what still feels unresolved.
Do EMDR therapists need special certification or training?
EMDR is a specific therapy approach, and therapists may have different levels of education, consultation, training, or certification related to it. Before booking, ask how the therapist learned EMDR, how often they use it, whether they are EMDR Certified, and how they decide when it is appropriate for a client.
Does insurance cover online EMDR therapy, and how does payment usually work?
Insurance coverage often depends on your plan, the therapist’s network status, your location, and how the session is billed. Some therapists accept insurance directly, while others offer self-pay rates or superbills you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Use the insurance and payment filters when available, then confirm coverage, fees, and any expected costs before your first appointment.
When is online EMDR therapy not the right choice?
Online EMDR 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 be better to start with stabilization and coping support before trauma processing. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 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.
