Online therapy and therapist licenses in Vermont

What decides who can see you online is the license. A therapist licensed in Vermont can work with you by video wherever you are in the state; one licensed only elsewhere generally can't, however close their office is.

Four license types come up on profiles in Vermont: psychologist, LPC, LCSW and LMFT. Any of them can help with anxiety, depression or stress; for couples or family work an LMFT is trained for exactly that, and for testing or assessment a psychologist.

Travel is the usual catch: from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or New York, or anywhere else outside Vermont, an online session may not be allowed unless the therapist's license covers where you are. Check before the trip, not during it.
