License letters tell you how a therapist trained: psychologists hold a doctorate, LPCs and LCSWs a master's in counseling or social work, and LMFTs specialize in couples and family work. Whichever you pick, the license should be issued in New York if you'll meet online from here.

Moving, studying or working in Connecticut, Massachusetts, or New Jersey? Tell your therapist before a session from there. Unless they're licensed there as well, sessions may have to wait until you're back in the state.
