Online Mental Health Care

Online mental-health providers fall into distinct groups: therapy-only services, psychiatry-only services, and combined platforms that offer both. Insurance handling, session format, and medication scope differ significantly — the right choice depends on the type of care you need.

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