“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.”

“Some days you hold it all together. Other days, the weight is harder to hide, restless nights, a tightness in your chest, a feeling of being untethered. You may also see it in your teen: the spark dimming, smiles fading, or unexplained aches and tension. What you want is simple, but feels far away, ease, connection, a sense of safety in your own skin. Therapy can be a place to gently untangle what’s been carried too long, helping you or your child feel lighter, more grounded, and more connected to yourself and others.”

“I work primarily with adults seeking individual, couple, or family therapy. I focus my work on providing space for members of the Queer and Neurodivergent populations, as well as folks experiencing or interested in non-traditional relationship structures. I work well with folks who value honesty and humor in the therapy room. I tend to enjoy collaborating with my clients to explore topics related to identity, navigating complex relationships, and working through trauma that may be influencing our present day experience. I center my work on exploring how our patterns of behavior, emotions, and the stories we are carrying impact how we show up in our relationships and our beliefs about ourselves.”

The Lantern Room

LCSW

Licensed In:
California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia
“I work with adults, including LGBTQIA+ clients, who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma histories, and patterns that feel hard to shift even when insight is present. Many clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally dealing with chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, or disconnection from themselves or relationships. I also work with therapists, healthcare professionals, and creative professionals who carry complex emotional loads in their work and need a place where they do not have to perform competence. A lot of the work involves people who are trying to understand longstanding relational patterns or identity-related questions in a more grounded and sustainable way.”

“I work with adults navigating trauma, attachment wounds, and relational ambivalence. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who appear capable on the outside yet carry unresolved childhood experiences—parental substance use, emotional neglect, or inconsistent caregiving—that surface as anxiety, OCD symptoms, flashbacks, or difficulty setting boundaries. I support clients who feel conflicted in relationships, struggle with avoidance, or question whether they are in the right partnership. Through grounding skills, trauma hierarchies, safe-place work, and experiential visualization, I help them build emotional regulation, self-trust, and the courage to create healthier, more secure connections.”

Support for Trauma, Spiritual Abuse, Transitions

LCSW

Licensed In:
California, Colorado, Florida, Texas
“I work with adults seeking online therapy for trauma recovery, complex PTSD, religious trauma, and experiences in high-control groups or coercive relationships. Many clients come to me after years of trying to understand patterns of self-blame, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or identity confusion that often follow psychological manipulation or chronic trauma. I also work with people who seek prep and integration for psychedelic medicine work. For those who have experienced a "bad" trip, I can offer support to move through it. I also support people preparing for or integrating meaningful personal experiences, including spiritual exploration or psychedelic experiences, when those experiences intersect with trauma and personal growth.”

About Somatic Therapy

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

Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach for addressing a range of mental health issues. Rather than focusing only on thoughts and emotions, somatic therapists also pay attention to physical sensations, breathing, posture, movement, and how stress or trauma may show up in the body. Online somatic therapy sessions may include grounding exercises, body awareness practices, gentle movement, breathwork, and noticing sensations at a pace that feels manageable.

People often explore somatic therapy for stress, anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, chronic tension, burnout, relationship patterns, or feeling disconnected from their body. It may be a useful approach if you want therapy that includes both emotional reflection and practical ways to feel more present, regulated, and grounded.

How to choose a therapist

When comparing online somatic therapy therapists, look for someone whose pacing, communication style, and approach feel safe and collaborative. Because somatic work is body-focused, it is important to choose a therapist who you feel comfortable with.

Review profiles for experience with concerns like trauma, anxiety, stress, nervous system regulation, or mind-body approaches. Before booking, ask how they use somatic therapy in telehealth, what a typical session looks like, and how they handle grounding if emotions become intense. A good fit should feel clear, respectful, and responsive to your needs.

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 somatic therapy?

Start by choosing the state where you will be located during online sessions. Then use filters to narrow your search by insurance, service type, age group, language, and therapy type. As you compare profiles, look for therapists who mention somatic therapy, body-centered therapy, nervous system regulation, or training in modalities such as Somatic Experiencing or Sensorimotor Therapy. You can then contact a provider or schedule a consultation to ask how they use somatic work in online care.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask how the therapist uses somatic therapy in telehealth sessions, what a typical session may look like, and whether their approach includes movement, breathwork, grounding, body awareness, or other techniques. You may also want to ask about their experience with your concerns, how they pace body-based work, and how they support clients who feel overwhelmed.

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 in the state where you are physically located during the session. If you travel, move, attend school elsewhere, or split time between states, tell the therapist before booking so they can confirm whether they can continue care. You can also learn more about working with therapists licensed in multiple states.

Can somatic therapy be done virtually through telehealth therapy?

Yes, many therapists offer somatic therapy through telehealth. Online sessions may include body awareness, grounding skills, breath practices, gentle movement, tracking sensations, and talking through what you notice. Your therapist may adapt exercises so they feel safe and realistic in your space. Telehealth somatic therapy works best when you have privacy, a stable internet connection, and enough room to sit or move comfortably if movement is part of the session.

Who is somatic therapy best for?

Somatic therapy may be a good fit if you notice stress, anxiety, trauma responses, shutdown, tension, restlessness, or emotional overwhelm showing up in your body. It may also help if you have tried talk therapy before and want an approach that incorporates physical awareness. It is not only for trauma; many people use somatic therapy to build regulation skills, reconnect with their body, and feel more present in daily life.

Do somatic therapists need special certification or training?

Somatic therapy is a broad term, and different therapists may use different body-centered approaches. Some may have advanced training in specific somatic methods, while others may integrate somatic tools into general therapy. A therapist does not have to use one exact credential to offer somatic therapy, but it is reasonable to ask about their training, experience, and how they incorporate somatic techniques into therapy.

Does insurance cover online somatic therapy, and how does payment usually work?

Insurance coverage usually depends on your plan, the therapist’s network status, your location, and the type of service being provided.  Some providers may accept in network insurance, and others may be private pay or offer superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Check each profile for insurance details, then confirm cost, payment method, cancellation policy, and any out-of-pocket fees before starting.

When is online somatic therapy not the right choice?

Online somatic therapy 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 difficult if body-based exercises feel unsafe without in-person support. 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.
