Seeing a therapist by video in North Dakota

A North Dakota license is what lets a therapist see you by video here. Where they live or keep an office matters less than where you are during the session, so online therapy opens up therapists from all over the state.

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 North Dakota if you'll meet online from here.

People near the edge of North Dakota often look at therapists in Minnesota, Montana, or South Dakota too. That works for in-person visits across the border, but for video sessions from home the therapist still needs a North Dakota license.
