“I work with adult individuals who are navigating trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but carry deeper emotional pain, unresolved past experiences, or patterns in relationships that feel hard to change. I specialize in supporting AANHPI and other BIPOC clients who are exploring cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, and the impact of family or societal expectations. My clients are often seeking deeper healing and meaningful shifts in how they understand themselves, their relationships, and their emotional world. Together we work toward greater clarity, self-compassion, and lasting change.”

LMFT

Licensed In:
California
“I’m a therapist for adults and teens navigating burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, neurodivergence (ADHD/autism), and the lingering effects of childhood trauma. I most often work with therapists and other helping professionals, as well as gifted or high-achieving individuals who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in people-pleasing and perfectionistic patterns. Many of my clients are insightful and capable, yet exhausted from carrying too much for too long. They may struggle with boundaries, sensory overload, imposter syndrome, or feeling like they’re “too much” or “not enough.” If you’re used to being the strong one but quietly running on empty, you’re not alone.”

Ember Psychotherapy Collective

LGPC, ATR

Licensed In:
Massachusetts, Washington, DC
“You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally shut down, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating in your relationships or daily life. Perhaps you’re navigating trauma, a difficult life transition, or carrying the impact of early experiences that continue to shape how you feel, cope, and connect with others. Often, these patterns are survival responses that developed in earlier environments where you had to adapt to cope. Therapy offers a space to understand these responses with compassion, make sense of where they come from, and begin creating more intentional ways of relating to yourself and others.”

Lauren Barker

Barker Counseling, PLLC

LCMHC, LPCC, LPC

Licensed In:
North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina
“You often feel unsupported or not quite seen by others. You're there for others when they're going through a hard time, but find it hard to ask for help yourself-maybe because you don't feel worthy or don't want to be a burden. Dealing with concerns like past trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, body image, disordered eating, or relational stress is isolating & feels overwhelming to manage alone. You want deeper connections, but don't know where to start & fear being judged. Or if you're a therapist yourself, you may want the extra support of being in therapy! I specialize in body image/disordered eating work, as well as trauma and complex/traumatic grief. I also provide specific treatment for therapists, first responders, parents of children with eating disorders, and people becoming caregivers for loved ones.”

“I work with adults who are ready to move beyond simply coping and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, caregivers, entrepreneurs, and individuals who appear successful on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or dissatisfied internally. I specialize in supporting people navigating complex trauma, single-incident trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, relationship and communication challenges, self-worth concerns, and recurring life patterns that no longer serve them.

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.
