Who can see you online in Arizona

Online therapy in Arizona follows where you are, not where the therapist is: during a video session, the therapist needs a license that covers Arizona. Anyone licensed in Arizona can see you by video anywhere in the state.

Profiles list each therapist's license type: psychologist, licensed professional counselor (LPC), clinical social worker (LCSW), or marriage and family therapist (LMFT). All of them provide talk therapy; they differ in training, and any license can be looked up with the Arizona board that issued it.

If you also spend time in California, Colorado, or New Mexico, ask whether your therapist is licensed there too: a session taken from across the border falls under that state's rules.
