Virtual therapy anywhere in Texas

You don't have to live in Austin to work with Colors of Austin Counseling. Our Texas-licensed therapists offer identity-affirming virtual therapy to individuals, couples, families and teens across the state, from Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and El Paso to small towns and rural communities. We offer safe, diverse and inclusive care, and we're in network with most major insurance plans.

Who virtual therapy is for

Texans outside Austin looking for a BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist; busy parents, professionals and college students who need flexible scheduling; teens and adults who feel more at ease talking from home; couples and families in different locations; and clients who see us in person but sometimes need a virtual session.

Kids, teens and insurance

Virtual therapy for kids and teens

  • Virtual sessions work well for many teens.
  • For younger children, virtual therapy is offered case by case; your child's therapist will evaluate whether it's appropriate.

Insurance coverage

  • Most plans we accept cover telehealth the same as in-person sessions.
  • We check this for your plan when we verify your benefits.

Is virtual therapy effective?

Yes. Research shows therapy by secure video works as well as in-person therapy for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues. Your therapist will talk with you about whether virtual sessions are the right fit.
