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.

Therapy through Headspace offers licensed professional care from the comfort of home, with flexible scheduling and tools to support you between sessions if you have a Headspace content subscription. It’s designed to fit into your life—without the commute—and deliver meaningful results. Plus, therapy may be covered by your insurance, making it more affordable.

Headspace therapy is designed for anyone facing emotional or mental health challenges. It’s especially helpful if you:

• Are navigating a tough life transition (like a breakup, job change, or caregiving stress)
• Struggle with anxiety, depression, or mood swings
• Want a more approachable, affordable way to start therapy

Online therapy has many benefits, especially for people who want the flexibility to connect from home or on the go. Our members feel comfortable opening up in virtual sessions, and appreciate how easy it is to connect with their therapist when they need help. Headspace’s platform gives you the options you need to create a personalized treatment plan.

Please note: Headspace therapy is currently available to adults 18+ residing in the U.S and only available in English.

You’ll start noticing improvements in how you feel, think, and handle everyday challenges as you build new coping skills and gain confidence. Over time, you may find it easier to manage stress, navigate relationships, and respond to difficult emotions in healthier, more effective ways. 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. This ongoing support helps you stay motivated and empowered throughout your mental health journey.

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.

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:

• Seamless scheduling and switching: Book or switch therapists easily in the app.

Headspace integrates mental health care, mindfulness, and coaching into one platform, giving you a comprehensive treatment experience. Our licensed therapists and diverse providers are here to help you build healthy habits and manage mental health conditions to create meaningful change.

Headspace therapy is part of a broader mental health ecosystem. We help provide the tools, support, and sessions you need to care for your whole self, not just during your appointment, but every day. 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.

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

If you’re eligible for Headspace therapy, you can access it directly through the Headspace app by tapping on the “Care” tab. From there, you’ll be able to check your insurance coverage, browse available therapists, and book your first session. If you don’t see the Care tab, therapy may not be available under your current plan or location.

Your first session will be focused on understanding you—your goals, challenges, and background. Your therapist will review your intake, begin to build rapport, and start shaping a plan for your ongoing care. This first counseling session is also your opportunity to ask questions about the therapy process, discuss any emotional concerns, and learn how your treatment plan can evolve over time.

Between sessions, you’ll have access to personalized content, meditations, and sleep tools in the Headspace app to support your ongoing progress.*
