Online counseling for gay men: Navigating mental health, relationships, and acceptance.

Individual online therapy for gay men looking for help with relationships, self-acceptance, and mental health challenges.

Let’s work together to uncover your emotional triggers, recognize unhelpful patterns that are holding you back, and design a plan that is tailored to your individual needs and experiences.

There are many online therapy services that promise quick fixes, only to leave many LGBT people feeling misunderstood, awkward, rejected, and even disillusioned.

So I asked myself the question: What if I could replicate in-person gay therapy and offer online counseling that focuses on a compassionate relationship and gradual, meaningful progress?

The result is an online therapeutic approach you'd get from a traditional offline therapist—but tailored to gay men who value global expertise and community understanding over local limitations and traditional stereotypes.

With more than a decade of experience as a licensed LGBTQ therapist and counselor, I am here if you're grappling with self-acceptance, navigating unhealthy coping mechanisms, seeking fulfillment in relationships, or contending with persistent anxiety and depression.

Why am I the right LGBT counselor for you?

  • Relatable care: I am not only a gay male online therapist but also a gay man who has faced LGBTQ+ challenges himself. These shared experiences help me bring empathy and compassion to each client session that psychologist training and experience alone cannot replicate.

  • Compassion: You will feel comfortable working with a gay therapist who truly understands and cares about you. Our relationship is not only professional but one of equality, caring, and compassion.

  • Inclusive support: I do not just help with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship problems. Instead, I take a nuanced and empathetic approach to the unique and multi-layered experiences of your life.

What my therapeutic approach provides.

  • Tailored online therapy: My therapeutic approach goes beyond one size fits all. From our first counseling session, you will feel heard and understood as someone with unique experiences and needs.

  • Gentle inquiry: As I ask thoughtful questions, you will feel that I am always in tune with what is happening in your session and that I better understand your mental health needs.

  • Emotional growth: Not only will you feel better, but you will also feel encouraged to develop self-awareness and manage and process difficult emotions in a healthy way.

  • Reframing strategies: You will learn to view unhelpful behaviors as manageable experiences that you can process rather than repress

  • Root-cause resolution: By addressing the root cause of your behaviors, you can reduce their unhealthy impact on your life and manage them in the here and now.

Navigating life alone as a gay man? You’re not anymore.

  • Access professional support tailored to your specific needs.

  • Develop a stronger sense of self and purpose.

  • Create meaningful connections and a life you love.
