Any recommendations for a good online therapist?

I am really having a hard since my mom and brother died. I have a couple cousins that I talk to that do not live near me. I have isolated myself really bad and even when it comes to going places like the Earth Day celebration when it comes time to go I just don't want to.

I guess I need to talk to someone because I'm thinking that this is a result of a lot of loss.

Thanks

when I started having panic attacks. I wouldn’t characterize them as ‘good’ but they were able to give me a therapy session and prescribe medication very quickly, within 48 hours of my initial contact with them.

I was desperate for help and wasn’t able to book an in-person psychiatrist for 3 weeks so Brightside helped me until I had my first appointment.

Then the psychiatrist recommended several local therapists, several of whom offer virtual appointments. I have virtual appointments every week with one that was recommended by the psychiatrist.

Unfortunately there seems to be a shortage of qualified therapists and you may have to wait to get an appointment. I hope you are able to find help quickly.
