Online Depression Care

Online depression-care providers differ on whether therapy is delivered by licensed psychologists, LCSWs, or LPCs, whether medication management is included, and how insurance is handled. Most direct-to-consumer platforms cover the antidepressant classes clinicians most commonly start with (SSRIs and SNRIs).

A licensed clinician determines eligibility and appropriate treatment. Specific medications are not guaranteed.
