ABOUT THERAPY IN LOS ANGELES
A clearer picture of mental health care in Los Angeles
Los Angeles residents looking for therapy have more options than ever, whether they prefer connecting with a licensed therapist online or meeting in person. Octave provides access to therapists licensed in California, serving Los Angeles and communities across the state through secure video sessions.
With online therapy, your options are not limited to providers who happen to practice nearby in your neighborhood. Octave therapists licensed in California can work with clients anywhere in the state, so you can be matched with a therapist who fits your needs rather than defaulting to whoever is closest, or spending an hour in Los Angeles traffic to get to an appointment. That includes support for anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, grief, and relationship issues, along with evidence-based approaches like CBT, EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, and DBT.
Every Octave therapist practicing in California holds an active California license. Common credentials include LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, PhD, and PsyD. Octave's clinical team reviews every therapist's credentials and experience before they join the platform, and clients are matched to their needs and preferences rather than to whoever is geographically closest.
Getting started is straightforward. A brief matching questionnaire pairs you with a licensed California therapist based on your preferences, what you are looking for help with, and your schedule. Sessions happen over secure video from wherever works best for you in Los Angeles, and if your first match is not the right fit, you can switch therapists at any time at no additional cost.
