Jonah Taylor, LCSW | AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
I am licensed to provide online therapy to residents of Rhode Island. Despite being a small state geographically, finding a therapist with the right specialization still takes work — and online therapy means you do not have to limit your search to what is available in your immediate area. I work with individuals and couples throughout the state through secure video sessions.
Licensing and Telehealth in Rhode Island
I hold a clinical social work license in Rhode Island (License #ISW04284, NPI: 1437891546) and am certified as a sex therapist through AASECT. Rhode Island supports telehealth as a legitimate clinical modality, and all sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant platform with the same protections as in-person therapy.
Who I Work With in Rhode Island
Many of my Rhode Island clients are looking for specialized work they have not been able to find locally — Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, certified sex therapy, treatment for compulsive sexual behavior, or therapy that takes personality dynamics seriously. Online sessions make that accessible from anywhere in the state.
What I Offer
All of my clinical services are available online to Rhode Island residents. That includes Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, certified sex therapy for individuals and partners, therapy for compulsive sexual behavior, individual therapy for anxiety, depression, and the kinds of questions that resist easy answers, and specialized work with personality patterns including borderline and narcissistic dynamics.
How Online Sessions Work
Sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will receive a private link before each appointment. The only things you need are a reliable internet connection and a quiet, private space where you can speak freely. Scheduling works the same as in-person — regular weekly sessions at a consistent time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in Rhode Island for every session?
You need to be physically located in a state where I am licensed at the time of each session. If you travel frequently, we can discuss how to manage scheduling around that. I am also licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New Mexico.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Yes. Research consistently supports that online therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person work for most concerns. The therapeutic relationship — which is the primary driver of change — develops with the same depth and honesty through secure video sessions.
Do you accept insurance?
I operate on a private-pay model. This means no insurance company has access to your records, your diagnosis, or your treatment details. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
How do I get started?
The first step is a free 15-minute phone consultation. This is a brief conversation to talk through what you are looking for and whether the fit makes sense. There is no obligation.
