Frequently Asked Questions
Online therapy provides access to licensed mental health professionals through secure video sessions. With Headspace, you can schedule and attend therapy sessions directly within the app or online—making it easy to get the care you need from the comfort of your own space.
Headspace offers access to care from licensed therapists plus daily support to help you feel better and build resilience - all in one place. What sets us apart is:
- Insurance-covered care: Therapy sessions may be covered by your insurance. (*Availability and cost may be limited based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.)

If you’re eligible for Headspace therapy, you can access it directly through the Headspace app by tapping on the “Care” tab.

If you don’t see the Care tab, therapy may not be available under your current plan or location.

Your therapist will review your intake, begin to build rapport, and start shaping a plan for your ongoing care. Between sessions, you’ll have access to personalized content, meditations, and sleep tools in the Headspace app to support your ongoing progress
You’ll share your availability and get to choose from a selection of therapists that best meet your needs. To help prepare your therapist for your first session, you’ll also have a chance to share more about your goals and specific needs. And if it’s not the right fit, you can switch therapist.

You’ll also be able to manage appointments and update your preferences directly through the app. Between sessions, you’ll also have access to guided meditations, programs, and mindfulness content in the Headspace app to support your progress.

Yes. Headspace follows strict HIPAA and industry standards to protect your privacy and keep your sessions confidential.
Many users pay as little as $0 per session with insurance. During onboarding, once you provide your insurance plan information, we will provide an estimated co-pay based on Headspace's historical claims. If you're not covered, out-of-pocket sessions cost $149.
Yes. For many mental health conditions like anxiety, stress, and depression, online therapy is equally effective as in-person care. Research has shown that teletherapy is as effective as in person therapy for mental health conditions that are commonly treated in an outpatient setting, such as anxiety and depression. Therapists can use the same skills and interventions via video as they can in person to treat many client needs. Additionally, research shows that strong client/therapist relationships are built in video sessions, which supports the effectiveness of therapy. However, some mental health needs are better addressed in person given the need for medical support or more robust monitoring. Significant substance use or eating concerns, psychosis, and suicidal thinking that presents significant risk are often better treated with in person care.

At Headspace we currently provide individual therapy to adults over our HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. Our network includes therapists trained in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, stress management, and more. Our network includes therapists trained in a variety of research supported treatment approaches like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). Our therapists can treat a variety of mental health needs, from anxiety and depression, to trauma, relationship concerns, and more.
Licensed therapists use research-backed interventions such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) approaches to help you:
- Identify and manage triggers
- Build resilience
- Learn coping strategies
- Reframe negative thought patterns
Headspace therapy is part of a broader mental health ecosystem. Alongside therapy, members can access guided meditations, stress and sleep support, and our AI companion, Ebb, for daily mental well-being. Access with a Headspace subscription, may require additional purchase.
You’ll start noticing improvements in how you feel, think, and handle everyday challenges. You will also develop insights into yourself and learn what works for you. Your therapist will help you track progress toward your goals and adjust your approach over time to ensure continued growth.
Online therapy can be a powerful tool, but it’s not the right fit for every situation. If you’re in crisis, need immediate help, or are experiencing severe mental health symptoms, in-person or emergency care may be more appropriate.
At this time, Headspace is not enrolled in the Medicare or Medicaid program. As such, we cannot submit claims to Medicare and/or Medicaid on your behalf or provide you with therapy services if this is your primary insurance provider.
Headspace is in network with select Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) and select managed care Medicaid plans. Please check with your insurance provider to determine if Headspace is in network and available to you.

Our network includes therapists from a range of identities and backgrounds, including diverse racial, cultural, and gender identities, with training and lived experience to support your needs. We aim to help you find a provider who truly understands your story—and if your first match doesn’t feel right, it’s easy to switch.
Yes. Therapy is an eligible expense under most Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). While we don’t currently accept HSA/FSA cards directly for therapy payments, you can still pay out of pocket and submit your receipt for reimbursement.
We recommend contacting your HSA/FSA provider to confirm eligibility and learn how to submit for reimbursement.
Coming soon: We're exploring ways to make it even easier to use HSA/FSA funds for therapy by integrating direct payment options in the future.
