Online Therapy That Takes Medicaid, Finally
You've been searching for online therapy that accepts Medicaid, and you keep hitting dead ends. Most platforms either don't take it or make you jump through hoops just to find out. We get it, you need help now, not after weeks of phone calls.
Lavni is different. We specialize in Medicaid-first online therapy across North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. Your sessions cost $0 to $3, you can book in 1-2 days, and everything happens from your phone or computer. No waiting rooms, no insurance runaround.
Yes, Your Medicaid Really Covers Online Therapy
Here's what most people don't know: Medicaid has covered telehealth therapy since 2020. But finding online therapists that actually accept it? That's been the impossible part.
✓ Your Medicaid Coverage Includes:
- • Individual therapy sessions via video or phone
- • Group therapy and support sessions
- • Crisis intervention and emergency support
- • Specialized therapy like EMDR, CBT, and trauma work
We've helped over 5,000 people use their Medicaid for online therapy. Your typical copay is $0 to $3 per session. No surprise bills, no "we'll bill you later" nonsense.
We work with most Medicaid plans in North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. That includes AmeriHealth Caritas, WellCare, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, and others.
Check If Your Medicaid Covers ThisHow Online Therapy Actually Works With Medicaid
Most online therapy platforms weren't built for Medicaid. They're designed for people paying $200+ per session out of pocket. We built ours specifically for people using government insurance.
📱 The Technology Part
Join sessions from any device. Our platform works on phones, tablets, computers, whatever you have. No special apps to download.
🏥 The Insurance Part
We handle all the Medicaid billing. You show up, talk to your therapist, and leave. We deal with the paperwork.
👥 The Human Part
Your therapist is licensed in your state and trained in what you're dealing with. Real credentials, real experience.
⏰ The Scheduling Part
Book sessions that fit your life. Evening, weekend, lunch break, we have therapists available when you are.
Here's what a typical week looks like: You book a 50-minute session for Thursday at 7 PM. Wednesday night, you get a reminder text. Thursday at 6:55, you click the link and you're in your session. Friday, you can book your next one.
No commute time. No sitting in waiting rooms. No taking half a day off work. Just you and your therapist, working on what matters.

Look, we're not anti-office therapy. But when you're dealing with Medicaid, online therapy solves a lot of problems that in-person doesn't.
One of our clients told us: "I tried three different in-person therapists over two years. Either they didn't take my Medicaid, or I couldn't get there consistently, or the times didn't work. With online therapy, I've been seeing the same therapist for eight months now."
That's the difference. Consistency. When therapy is easier to access, you actually stick with it.

Maria works two part-time jobs and has three kids. She'd been dealing with anxiety for months but couldn't figure out how to make in-person therapy work.
"I'd call therapist offices and they'd either not take my Medicaid or the appointment times were when I was working. I found Lavni on Google when I searched 'online therapy that takes medicaid' at like 11 PM one night."
Here's how it actually worked for her:
Week 1:
Monday night: Filled out the intake form after the kids went to bed. Tuesday: Got matched with a therapist. Wednesday: Had her first session at 8 PM via video call.
Week 4:
Found a rhythm of weekly Thursday sessions. Started learning breathing techniques she could use at work.
Week 12:
"The anxiety isn't gone, but I have tools now. And I haven't missed a session because it fits into my actual life."
Maria's story isn't unique. When online therapy that accepts Medicaid actually works the way it's supposed to, people stick with it. They get better.
The key was finding a platform built for people like her, working parents who need flexibility and can't pay $200 per session.
Start your intake form like Maria did →Getting Started Is Simpler Than You Think
Most people expect getting online therapy with Medicaid to be complicated. It's not. Here's exactly what happens:
Tell us about yourself (5 minutes)
Basic info, what you're dealing with, your Medicaid plan. We check your coverage while you complete the form.
Get matched with a therapist (1-2 days)
We find someone licensed in your state who specializes in what you need. You'll see their photo, credentials, and approach.
Book your first session
Pick a time that works for you. Evening, weekend, whatever fits your schedule. You'll get a calendar invite with the video link.
Show up and talk
Click the link, join the session. Your therapist handles everything else, notes, billing, insurance claims.
The whole process from "I need help" to "I'm talking to a therapist" usually takes 3-5 days. Compare that to calling around to in-person offices where you might wait weeks just to get a callback.
And if for some reason your first therapist isn't a good fit? We'll match you with someone else. No extra charge, no hassle.
