Online Therapy Platforms
The general purpose services: you sign up, answer some questions, get matched with a licensed therapist, and meet by video, phone or message. This is the busiest part of the market and the hardest to compare, because the pricing page usually sits behind a quiz and the therapist you get depends on your state. The listings here say what a week actually includes, whether you can switch therapists, how sessions are scheduled, and what the service does when someone needs more care than a weekly conversation. Start here if you know you want therapy and have not yet picked a route.

Frequently asked questions
How do I pay for these services?
Payment methods vary depending on the platform. Some services work on a weekly subscription model you can cancel anytime, while others are cash-pay marketplaces where you pay upfront prices set by the provider. Many platforms also allow you to use major health insurance or employer-sponsored benefits to cover the cost.
Can I get medication if I use an online therapy platform?
Yes, several platforms offer psychiatry and medication management alongside traditional therapy. These services allow you to meet with a psychiatrist for clinical support and prescriptions through video or messaging.
Will these platforms work with my insurance?
It depends on which platform you choose. Some services specialize in matching you with in-network therapists who bill your insurance directly, while others are designed as cash-pay options that don't require insurance at all.
Do I have to meet with a therapist via video call?
While many platforms focus on video visits, others offer flexibility through messaging or phone calls. Some providers also offer a hybrid approach, providing both online sessions and in-person appointments at physical clinics.
