When I tried talkspace, they assigned me a therapist in my state, and I think that is standard practice. And some states don't have restrictions on teletherapy, so those therapists theoretically can talk to anyone.
But, yeah, online therapy gives me some concerns. It also didn't seem really designed to deal with trauma or crises.
