Online therapy in the United States

A therapist who fits your schedule, not the other way around

Choose your own therapist and meet online, wherever you are. Evenings and early mornings included.

Between insurance networks, waitlists, and the cost of a first appointment, starting therapy in the US can feel like a second job. This is meant to be simpler: read profiles, pick someone, and begin.

Why online

You choose the person, not whoever's in-network

Finding a therapist in the US often means starting with who your insurance will cover and working backward — which is a strange way to choose someone you're going to tell the truth to. Meeting online widens the field: you choose from every therapist working in your language, pick a time that fits around work, and attend from home. For anyone in a rural area, or a state with few providers, this is often the difference between attending and not.

The session itself is unchanged. What changes is who gets to be in it, and whether it happens at all.

What we work with

What brings people here

  • Anxiety and constant low-level dread

    The worry that doesn't attach itself to anything in particular, and doesn't switch off when the day ends.

  • Depression and flatness

    Including the kind that is hard to justify, because on paper nothing is wrong.

  • Burnout and exhaustion

    When the job stopped being difficult and started being impossible, and you kept going anyway.

  • Grief

    After a death — but also after a marriage, a career, a friendship, or a version of yourself.

  • Relationships and family

    Including the arguments that are never really about what they appear to be about.

  • Loneliness

    You can be lonely in the town you grew up in, surrounded by people who have known you for thirty years.

This is not a complete list. If what you're carrying isn't on it, that changes nothing — therapy starts with you, not with a label.

How it works

Three steps

You read the profiles and choose your own therapist — you're not routed by a network or assigned by an algorithm. You pick a time from the hours they have open, shown in your own time zone. And you meet by video call, from wherever you are. Each therapist's profile shows their fee up front.

Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.

We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.

Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.

Common questions

Do I need insurance?

No. You arrange the session directly with the therapist. Nothing goes through an insurer, and there's no in-network requirement.

Is the therapist licensed in my state?

Each profile states where the therapist is licensed to practice. If it matters for your situation, ask before booking — they'll tell you. This is worth checking, as licensing rules vary by state.

Is online therapy effective?

For most of what people bring to therapy, research finds no meaningful difference in outcome versus in person.

What if it's not the right fit?

Choose another therapist, any time, without explaining yourself.

Is it confidential?

Yes — subject to the same legal and professional limits that apply to any licensed therapist.
