Why Online Therapy for Queer & Neurodivergent Folks in Georgia Actually Works (When It’s Done Right)

If you’ve ever tried therapy and left feeling like you just narrated your trauma into a void, you’re not alone.

Too many queer and neurodivergent people know the grind: therapists who weren’t a fit for you who couldn’t keep up with your metaphors or didn’t get your cultural references or your processing problems. They blink politely while you wonder why you’re paying for vibes you could’ve gotten from an HR chatbot.

I’m Rachael (also DB). I’m a trans, neurodivergent LCSW who runs a fully online therapy practice for queer, outsider-aligned folks across Georgia. I work best with people who are brilliant and burned out, self-aware but stuck, in pain and ready to get to do something about it and allergic to surface-level therapy.

If you’ve ever thought, “Do I really have to explain everything about queer life to my therapist before we can even start?”

Hello, you’re my kind of client.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: yes, when it’s not delivered like emotional fast food.

Virtual therapy means you don’t have to fight Atlanta traffic, explain your pronouns in a waiting room, or wear pants if you don’t feel like it. (You should though, for the ritual of getting dressed, unless you prefer a skirt.) But more than convenience, it’s about getting support that feels real. Whether you’re in Savannah, Athens, Ellijay, or under a blanket fort in Valdosta.

I specialize in folks who’ve always felt like therapy wasn’t built for them:

• • • Queer, trans, nonbinary and minority gender and sexuality people of all flavors who fall outside the dominant paradigm of traditional gender and sexual experience and expression, including cis and heterosexual folks (teens and adults)
  •  
    • AuDHD humans who live with executive dysfunction, perfectionism, and the occasional life paralysis
  •  
    • Creatives, fandom kids turned grownups, kinksters,, and players of too many campaigns at once
  •  
    • People who are sick of being “the most emotionally intelligent person in the room”

If you want therapy that’s all polite nodding and zero growth? I’m not your person.

I don’t do the blank-wall therapist routine.  I don’t think neutrality is inherently healing. 

Instead, I bring:

• • • Radical genuineness: I show up as a real person, neve ra therapy-bot.
      
  •  
    • Evidence-based tools that actually work: DBT and Radically Open DBT, fused with geek references, existential philosophy, and narrative analysis.
  •  
    • Directness + compassion: I’ll challenge you, but I’ll never judge you for being exactly where you are.

• • • You’re sick of talking about change but not making change

       

  •  
    • You’ve got a million tabs open in your brain and zero executive function to close them

       

  •  
    • You want to stop living life as an endless to-do list you can’t start

       

  •  
    • You need a therapist who won’t flinch at your gallows humor or your “weird” hobbies

       

  •  
    • You want therapy that feels like collaboration, not like you’re in detention

• • • • Sessions: Virtual-only, HIPAA-compliant

         

    •  
      • Location: Anywhere in Georgia

If you’re reading this and thinking, ugh, maybe this is what I’ve been circling around for months—let’s talk.

You don’t need to be fully convinced, you don’t need perfect words, you don’t even need pants. 

You just need curiosity and a sliver of willingness.

Book your free 15-minute consultation — we’ll spend 15 minutes seeing if this feels different from the therapy you’ve tried before. (Spoiler: it will.)
