During your online LGBTQ counseling session on Amwell, you’ll meet face-to-face with a board-certified therapist experienced in helping people of diverse genders and sexualities. The therapist will work with you on whatever concerns you wish to address, helping you gain insights and skills to enjoy an emotionally healthier life and relationships. If it’s your first session, your LGBTQ counselor will ask questions to better understand how your difficulties are affecting your life and what your goals are for counseling. The therapist will then suggest a treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs and goals.
