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
Rhode Island residents have video access to the full practice: Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, certified sex therapy for individuals and partners, therapy for compulsive sexual behavior, individual therapy, and work with personality patterns. In a state this small, there\’s also a quieter advantage: for deeply private concerns — sexual ones especially — many people prefer a specialist with no connection to their local community.
How Online Sessions Work
We meet over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, with a private link sent before every session. You’ll need dependable internet and a space where you won’t be overheard. Weekly sessions at a standing time — the same rhythm as in-person work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in Rhode Island for every session?
Licensure follows where your body is during the session, so you need to be in a state where I’m licensed — Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or New Mexico. If you split time across states, we build the schedule around it.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Yes. Outcome research has repeatedly found video therapy comparable to in-person care for most concerns. What predicts change is the strength of the therapeutic relationship, and screens turn out to be no obstacle to that.
Do you accept insurance?
I work on a private-pay basis — no insurer ever sees your diagnosis, your records, or anything we discuss, which matters doubly for the kinds of concerns people bring to sex therapy. I provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.
How do I get started?
A free 15-minute phone consultation. We talk through what’s bringing you, you ask whatever you want to know, and then you decide.
