Effective, high-quality care, delivered online
Whether it’s for support between sessions, a medication consultation, or for ongoing therapy, our online care is private and convenient. You’ll meet with the same clinician every time, and receive the same, high-standard care as you do in person. It’s the care your child needs, from the comfort of home.
Our online care is available in several states
Why is online therapy with Brightline so effective?
Convenient
Proven, evidence-based care — no commute, no parking, no running late. The right care from the comfort of home.
Simple connection
We know you’re busy. When you need to communicate with us, it’s as simple as logging on for the appointment.
Safe & consistent
When the whole day isn’t planned around getting to a session, your child is more relaxed, and their care becomes more effective.
Online & on track
We can adjust your child’s care plan and track their progress online, ensuring their continued development and well-being.
Online therapy for every age, stage, and need
Toddlers & Kids
Young kids with clinical-level concerns including anxiety, ADHD, and behavioral issues can benefit from sessions that take place in familiar surroundings.
Kids & Teens
Older kids, teenagers, and parents with busy schedules can log in from home and relax knowing their conversation is secure.
Parent session
Online visits make it easy for parents to ask questions between sessions, or get an update from a clinician without ever having to leave home or the office.
How does online therapy lead to better outcomes for your family?
Your child’s needs can change. With both in-person and online care, we’re able to continuously measure their progress to make sure the care plan still fits. If it doesn’t, we make adjustments, ensuring every child gets the care they need.
We will set goals for your child’s care, track progress, provide between-session resources, and have a positive impact on your whole family — all online.
Insurance and cost for online therapy
Online therapy at Brightline works with most major insurance plans, though exact coverage depends on your specific plan. Here's what to know:
Most plans that include behavioral health benefits cover online therapy, though copays, deductibles, and coinsurance vary
We'll help verify your coverage and network status before your first appointment, so you know what to expect
If your plan isn't in network, self-pay options are available
Since coverage details vary by plan, we always recommend confirming specifics directly with your insurer as well
