How Medicaid works for therapy in Charlotte
In North Carolina, Medicaid covers mental health therapy when you see a licensed clinician who is in-network with your plan. That includes people who live in Charlotte and the rest of Mecklenburg County.
Most of our clients in Charlotte use North Carolina Medicaid Direct or a managed care plan. Many pay between $0 and $3 per session, depending on the plan and visit type.
With Lavni, our team helps check your benefits, confirm your therapist is in-network, explain your costs in simple language, and handle billing in the background so you can focus on your therapy.

How Lavni works for people in Charlotte
The goal is simple: help you connect with a therapist who feels like a good fit and takes your plan.
1. Tell us where you live and your plan

2. See therapists who take your plan
We show you licensed clinicians who accept your insurance and serve people in Charlotte. Many also offer EMDR for trauma or anger management therapy with Medicaid. You can read about them and pick who feels right for you.

Choose a time that fits your life and meet by secure video. After that, you and your therapist can decide how often to meet. If you want tips on what to expect, you can read What to expect in your first therapy session with Medicaid or insurance.

At Lavni, many therapists also use simple tools to track symptoms over time. You can read more about this in How to tell if therapy is working.
It is okay if the first match does not feel right. You are allowed to ask for a change. Our team can help you look at other options so you can find someone who feels like a better fit for you and your story.
