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 Washington if you'll meet online from here.
Moving, studying or working in Idaho or Oregon? 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.

Find a therapist in Washington →Frequently Asked Questions
How many therapists are available in Washington?
FindSupport has 9+ licensed therapists in Washington, across 2 cities, including Seattle and Spokane. About 22% offer online sessions. 34 of the 48 states with listings have more.
Do I need a psychologist in Washington, or will a counselor do?
For talk therapy, a licensed counselor, clinical social worker or marriage and family therapist in Washington does the same kind of work as a psychologist, anxiety, depression, and trauma included, the concerns Washington profiles tag most. Formal testing calls for a psychologist; medication, for a psychiatrist or your doctor. The license type is on the profiles in Seattle and Spokane; to confirm one, search the Washington board that issued it.
How much does therapy cost in Washington?
Therapy costs in Washington typically range from $90–$250 per session, going by its city guides. The cheapest guide is Spokane (from $90), the priciest Seattle (up to $250). In-network insurance or a sliding-scale rate can lower that, so ask about both before the first session.
Can I do online therapy in Washington?
Yes — a therapist licensed in Washington can generally see you online wherever you are in the state. About 22% of the therapists listed in Washington offer online sessions, against 6% nationwide, usually by video. Research on common concerns like anxiety and depression generally finds video sessions work about as well as office visits.
What cities in Washington have therapists?
FindSupport has city guides for Seattle, Bellevue, Spokane, and Tacoma. Listings so far: Seattle 6 and Spokane 3. You can also connect with any Washington therapist who offers online sessions.
How do I find a good therapist or counselor in Washington?
Start with what you want help with, not the city. FindSupport shortlists licensed therapists in Washington whose focus fits; then compare two or three profiles and message the ones you like. Most listed profiles are in Seattle; from elsewhere in Washington, include video sessions in your search.
How do I choose a therapist in Washington?
Begin with what you want help with. Anxiety, depression, and trauma come up most on Washington profiles; for anything else, search by name. Next, office or video: 2 of Washington's 9 profiles mention online sessions, and others may offer them if asked. Then message two or three, and if the first session doesn't feel right, try someone else.
How do I check that a therapist is licensed in Washington?
The Washington board that issued a license can confirm it's current: you need the type, shown on the profile, and the number, which the therapist can give you. A license from Idaho or Oregon covers sessions you take there, not video sessions from home in Washington; the exception is a psychologist under PSYPACT where both jurisdictions take part.
Can I use a therapist across the Washington border?
Meeting in person across the line is fine. Across the line, Boise, Idaho (40) and Portland, Oregon (20) have the most listings in their states. Online is where the license matters: from Washington, video sessions generally need a therapist licensed there.
