Online Therapy in Atlanta, Georgia
Online therapy for Atlanta adults, couples and teens. Georgia-licensed therapists, secure video sessions, and insurance verified before your first visit.
Therapy for Atlanta
Looking for a therapist in Atlanta can mean scrolling through search results that blur together, leaving voicemails, and still not knowing who takes your insurance or has evening openings. We try to make that part simple: one short form, a call back from a real person, and a clear answer about cost.
MentalSpace Therapy is an online practice serving Atlanta, the rest of Fulton County and all of Georgia. Our therapists are licensed in Georgia as counselors, clinical social workers and marriage and family therapists, and every session happens over secure video, so the only commute is to a quiet room.
Who we help
Is this a fit for you?
We see adults working through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief or burnout; couples dealing with conflict or distance; and teens ages 13 to 17. If you're new to therapy, that's fine, and your therapist will explain how it works. If you've been before, tell us what helped and what didn't.
You might be dealing with
- Painful experiences that still affect you today
- Parenting stress and tension at home
- Low mood, low energy or losing interest in things you used to enjoy
- Conflict or distance in a relationship
Therapy services
Help with what you're carrying
Some people reach out about one specific problem, like panic attacks or a recent loss. Others can only say that something feels off. Both are good reasons to talk to a therapist. Individual sessions are confidential, about 50 minutes long, and built around goals you agree on together.
Couples therapy is for partners who keep circling the same fight, feel more like roommates than partners, or are working through a breach of trust. Both partners attend the same session for one fee, with no double billing, and both need to be in Georgia when you meet.
Insurance and cost
Using your insurance in Fulton County
Tell us your plan on the intake form. We check your coverage and tell you your actual per-session cost before anything is scheduled, so there are no surprise bills. For many plans, that cost is as low as $0 per session.
Accepted plans: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Optum / UnitedHealthcare, Humana, select Medicare Advantage plans, and the Georgia Medicaid plans Amerigroup, CareSource and Peach State Health Plan.

Teen therapy in Atlanta
Ages 13–17
Therapists who specialize in adolescents
Parents stay involved
Consent, safety updates and family sessions
Around the school day
Weekdays until 7pm ET and weekends
If you're a Atlanta parent, you may have noticed changes before your teen said a word: slipping grades, skipped meals, more time behind a closed door. Teen therapy gives 13- to 17-year-olds a confidential place to talk with a therapist who specializes in adolescents, not an adult therapist who occasionally sees kids.
You stay involved in the ways that matter. You fill out the intake and sign consent, you hear right away if there is a safety concern, and you join periodic family sessions. Your teen is told on day one what stays private and what doesn't, which is what makes the room safe enough for honest work.
Because sessions are online, there's no pickup line and no drive after school. Look for a weekday time after classes end, before 7pm ET, or a Saturday between 10am and 3pm ET, or a Sunday by arrangement.
How online therapy works
Online therapy, explained
If you've never done therapy over video, it's simpler than it sounds. You get a link, you join from a quiet room, and you talk with a licensed therapist who can see and hear you. Some people find it easier to open up from their own space.
Atlanta residents can book within our hours: 8am to 7pm ET Monday through Friday, and 10am to 3pm ET on Saturdays, plus Sunday sessions by arrangement. Headphones help with privacy if others are home. Georgia licensing means you need to be in the state for every session.

Coaching
Life and relationship coaching for Atlanta
Coaching is a good match when you want structure and accountability around something specific: a new role, a move, a decision you keep putting off, or a relationship you want to strengthen rather than repair.
Sessions happen over video, with a coach matched to the kind of goal you have. There's no diagnosis involved and insurance doesn't pay for coaching, so we share the per-session rate on your welcome call and confirm it before your first session.

Questions people ask before starting
How quickly can I start?
The intake form takes about two minutes. A care coordinator calls within 24 to 72 hours, and the first session is usually within about a week, depending on therapist availability. No card is collected online and nothing is charged before your first session.
Do you have an office in Atlanta?
There's no physical office in Atlanta. Sessions are held by secure video with Georgia-licensed therapists, so you can meet from home, a private office, or anywhere in the state with a closed door and a good connection.
Is online therapy private?
Sessions run on a HIPAA-compliant video platform, and your paperwork lives in a secure client portal. You choose a private place to join from. If you use insurance, your plan sees a diagnosis code and dates of service, never the content of your sessions. Private pay is available if you'd rather not file a claim.
What hours can Atlanta clients book sessions?
Our hours are Monday through Friday from 8am to 7pm ET and Saturday from 10am to 3pm ET, with Sunday sessions by arrangement. Exact appointment times depend on your therapist's availability, and the care team will look for a recurring time that fits your schedule.
Do you accept Georgia Medicaid in Fulton County?
Yes. We work with the Georgia Medicaid plans Amerigroup, CareSource and Peach State Health Plan, and most Medicaid clients pay $0 per session. We confirm your benefits before your first session.
