“I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients have experienced psychological abuse, religious trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), or difficult relationship patterns and are looking for clarity, healing, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. I also support individuals struggling with boundaries, attachment concerns, stress, feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply ready for growth.”
“I work with clients who have experienced trauma and now live with anxiety as a result. Often, these two things make it harder to show up in your relationships the way you want to.”
“You've done the work. Read the books. Tried the breathing. Sat in years of therapy. And still — something feels stuck. I work with people just like you. High-achievers who look fine on paper but feel exhausted underneath. Entrepreneurs carrying invisible weight. Parents running on empty. Veterans and first responders running from memories they can't outrun. Couples caught in the same fight for the tenth year. You're not broken. You're burned out, traumatized, or stuck in patterns that won't budge — and traditional approaches haven't touched the root. If you've been told you're "too much" or "not enough," I see you. If you're ready for something deeper than talk — EMDR, KAP, somatic work — let's talk.”
“Do you struggle with life changes that affect your sense of self? Or have you lost your sense of self? Do you feel shame, frustration, or overwhelmed by the idea of the next steps? Do you hope you could understand yourself better? Have you been told or think you have Borderline Personality Disorder? Do you feel like others dismiss your health concerns? If you feel these are true for you, I am excited to work with you. These are confusing issues and can be hard to tackle on your own.”
“I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating grief, trauma or interpersonal violence. I bring curiosity, compassion and humor to sessions. Throughout our time together we will practice skills or tools that can be used throughout your week to build awareness of your emotions and needs. My goal is that you feel empowered to become who you want to be in connection with your values.”
“I work with a wide range of clients across age groups, identities, and relationship dynamics, including teens (13+), young adults, adults, and elders. I support individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions, as well as those seeking deeper emotional connection and personal growth. My work includes diverse communities such as LGBTQ+ clients, ethically non-monogamous relationships, highly sensitive individuals, artists and creatives, and people exploring sexuality or gender identity. I commonly support concerns like anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, communication struggles, grief, sexual concerns, ADHD, and trauma/PTSD, along with specialized areas like perinatal mental health, infidelity recovery, and alternative relationship structures, centering clients who are looking to heal and grow.”
“I work with adults who are motivated to heal emotional wounds, enhancing the strengths they already possess to live a more present, fulfilling, and authentic life.”
“I specialize in supporting high-functioning individuals who, despite their external success, feel inwardly burdened by patterns and self-perceptions that don't truly belong to them. My practice is dedicated to two primary areas: those healing from relational trauma and chronic self-doubt, and South Asian individuals navigating the "weight of belonging" and complex cultural expectations. As a Somatic Psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, I help you move beyond traditional talk therapy to track how these "borrowed" narratives and cultural conditionings are held in your nervous system. We work to disentangle your sense of self from the projections and wounds of others that you may have mistakenly identified as your own. I provide a grounded, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed space to resolve these internal blocks and help you reclaim your authentic agency and center.”
“I work with adults across New Mexico through telehealth, with a special focus on veterans, active duty service members, first responders, and individuals carrying the long-term impact of trauma, loss, high-stress environments, or painful life experiences. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in survival mode, experiencing anxiety, nightmares, intrusive memories, emotional numbness, anger, guilt, shame, or difficulty feeling connected to themselves and others. I also support adults navigating moral injury, grief, life transitions, identity concerns, and the emotional weight of serving in roles where they have had to stay strong for everyone else.”
“I work with both individuals and couples within the state of Arizona. These people may identify as LGBTQ+, Trauma Survivors, Relationship Concerns, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Intimacy and Sexual Concerns, Attachment Issues.”

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.
