Licensure follows where you are
Therapists are licensed by state. In general, your therapist needs a license in the state where you are located during the session, even when the session is online.
In the directory, filter by Missouri or Kansas along with Virtual to see who can see you. Some clinicians are licensed in both states.
Finding virtual sessions
114 clinicians in the directory offer virtual sessions. Browse the virtual therapy list, or choose Virtual in Get Matched.
Making virtual sessions work
- Find a private spot where you won’t be overheard. A parked car works for many people.
- Use headphones and a steady internet connection.
- Test the video link a few minutes early.
- Ask your therapist what to do if the call drops.
When in-person is better
Some people prefer meeting face to face, and some care, like play therapy with young children, often works best in person. Many clinicians offer both, so you can switch as your needs change.
