“I work with high-achieving, neurocomplex, and LGBTQ+ folks who look like they have it together but are burned out, overwhelmed, and sick of the struggle. Anxiety, depression, chronic illness, grief, or identity confusion are common concerns my client bring to sessions. Clients appreciate my authentic, no-BS approach, and that they can show up as themselves - colorful hair, colorful tattoos, and colorful language!”

“Do you feel like you’re constantly "just getting by," carrying an invisible weight from the past? Perhaps you find yourself stuck in old patterns, reacting out of fear rather than confidence, or noticing that a past event—or a lifetime of challenges—is still dictating your present day. Starting therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate this alone. I work exclusively with adults in a fully virtual setting, meeting you in the comfort of your own space. I do my best work with individuals who are ready for active change and looking for a structured path toward lasting relief. Whether you are dealing with unresolved trauma or a general sense of being blocked from your potential, I am here to help you move beyond survival mode so you can truly thrive.”

1st Degree of Change

LCSW, LICSW

Licensed In:
Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts
“I provide online therapy for teens and adults in Arizona, Florida, Indiana, and Massachusetts who are dealing with anxiety, trauma, PTSD/CPTSD, complex trauma, dissociation, ADHD, Autism, and neurodivergence. If you are experiencing anxiety or have experienced trauma, I may be your therapist. I work with clients whose trauma ranges from a car accident or a single painful event to complex trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, and dissociation. I also work with people whose anxiety shows up in different ways, from feeling overwhelmed by a new stage of life to struggling to leave the house because anxiety feels too loud and too heavy. I meet clients where they are, but I also help them move forward. Therapy with me is not stiff, robotic, or one-size-fits-all. My clients often appreciate that they can jump topics, use sarcasm, laugh, cry, or say the messy thing out loud, and I can still help bring us back to what matters. Whether you are neurodivergent or not, if you want a therapist who is warm, direct, and able to hold both humor and hard things, we may be a good fit.”

Your best Life Therapy

LCSW 26719; LW 61440116

Licensed In:
California, Washington
“You're the woman who has it together on the outside. The business, the family, the full life. But internally you're exhausted, scattered, and wondering why the things that work for everyone else don't seem to work for you. You're wired differently, carrying more than most, and possibly navigating hormonal shifts that nobody talks about honestly. You've done the work before. You're ready for something that actually sticks — deeper, faster results with a therapist who genuinely gets the specific weight you carry. And if you happen to be a therapist yourself, you already know how rare it is to find someone who truly gets the weight you carry on both sides. In our work together, you get to take off the clinician hat completely. This is your space to just be a person, not a professional, not the one with the answers, not the one holding everyone else together. Just you.”

Many of my clients are navigating relationship distress, communication breakdowns, trust injuries, life transitions, anxiety, or unresolved trauma. I often support partners where one is leaning in and the other is leaning out, helping them clarify goals and move toward the healthiest path forward. I also work with adults seeking deeper self-understanding, stronger boundaries, and more secure attachment patterns.

Angela Luna Therapy

LMFT

Licensed In:
California
“You're the person who has done the work. You've read the books, explored your childhood, maybe tried therapy before. You understand your patterns. And yet, something still feels stuck. You might find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, or abandoning your own needs to keep the peace. You second-guess your instincts, struggle to set boundaries that actually hold, and wonder why knowing your patterns hasn't made them easier to change. You feel things deeply, and sometimes that feels like too much. You might be navigating trauma, grief, or a life transition that has left you unsure of who you are beneath all the coping. If you're a sensitive, creative person ready for a different kind of healing, one that goes beyond talking, you're in the right place. I work with adults who are ready to trust themselves, feel at home in who they are, and finally stop getting in their own way.”

About EMDR

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

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.
