Your Guide to the Best Online LGBTQ+ Counseling Options in 2024 #2 #9

Every individual has their own story, but if you’re LGBTQ+ and struggling with yours, or coping with mental health challenges in general, an online therapist who practices affirmative therapy can help. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), their current practice guidelines are conceptually rooted in the theoretical frameworks of sexual minority stress theory, principles of affirmative psychology, and intersectionality. Intersectionality is the recognition that factors like your race, sexuality, age, ability, religion, and economic status can have a compounding effect on how you move through the world and are perceived by and treated by society.

Affirmative therapy does not assume where you are in your journey. While the preservation and support of your gender and sexual identity are part of the therapeutic process, it will only be as much of a focus as you want it to be. Affirmative therapists provide you with a safe space to work through any mental health challenges you have or discuss things like problems at work.

We evaluated a variety of online therapy platforms on their inclusivity, paying close attention to their medical terminology, how they asked patients to prove their identity, ease of accessing affirmative therapists, and whether their technology assumed all users were heterosexual, cisgender, and monogamous. We used this information to compile a list of the best online therapy platforms suited to the various needs of LGBTQ+ individua
