Best Telehealth Platforms for Therapists and Mental Health Practices

Three Types of Telehealth Software for Therapists

Most therapists choose between three kinds of tool, and comparing across them is where buying goes wrong. One thing we see often: a practice outgrows a free video tool, moves to practice software for the notes and billing, and later finds it can’t put its own brand or intake workflow on it.

Best Telehealth Platforms for Therapists at a Glance

The table summarizes all nine platforms; the sections below group them by type. Prices are list prices from each vendor’s website, reviewed in October 2026, per clinician per month unless noted. Plans change often, so confirm anything you depend on with the vendor.

Category 1: Therapy Practice Software With Telehealth

1. SimplePractice

Best for: solo and group therapy practices that want telehealth in the same system as their notes, scheduling, and billing.

SimplePractice is all-in-one practice software built for private practices. Telehealth is included on every plan with no limits on session length or number of appointments, and Plus adds group telehealth for up to 15 clients and a booking widget for your website. An optional Care Aide add-on drafts notes with AI.

Starter is $49 a month, Essential $79, and Plus $99, with Plus adding clinicians at $74 each. Care Aide costs $59 a month for the account owner and $49 per added clinician. (SimplePractice pricing)

Consider before choosing SimplePractice:

• Clients use SimplePractice’s portal and video, not apps under your own brand or domain.
• AI notes and e-prescribing are paid add-ons on top of the plan price.

2. TherapyNotes

Best for: practices that bill insurance heavily and want documentation, scheduling, and claims in one place.

TherapyNotes is built around clinical documentation and insurance billing, with unlimited clients, notes, and file storage, a client portal, and secure messaging on every plan. Basic telehealth is included for two participants in standard definition; Premium telehealth adds up to 16 participants in full HD, screen sharing, and captions. TherapyFuel adds AI documentation tools. A BAA is signed and uploaded inside the account.

Solo is $69 a month. Group is $79 for the first clinician plus $50 for each additional one, rising to $89 and $60 for billing cycles starting 1 December 2026, with unlimited non-clinical users. Premium telehealth is $15 per clinician a month and TherapyFuel $40.  (TherapyNotes pricing, BAA).

Consider before choosing TherapyNotes:

• Group sessions and HD video need the Premium telehealth add-on.
• Claims, eligibility checks, and reminders are billed per use, so model your monthly volume.

3. TheraNest

Best for: practices that want a low entry price and room to grow into billing and group work.

TheraNest, now part of Ensora Health, combines notes, scheduling, billing, and a client portal, with unlimited clients and unlimited administrative users. Unlimited individual and group telehealth is included from the Advanced plan; on Essentials it’s an add-on. A standard BAA is included in its terms for covered entities.

Essentials is $29 per therapist a month, Advanced $59, and Premier $89, with about a month free on annual billing. Telehealth on Essentials costs $12 per therapist, and the Ensai session assistant $35 per provider. (TheraNest pricing)

Consider before choosing TheraNest:

• Telehealth isn’t included on Essentials, so the real entry price with video is $41 per therapist a month.
• Claims, eligibility checks, and reminders above each plan’s allowance are billed per use.

4. TheraPlatform

Best for: therapists who want therapy-specific session tools, such as interactive therapy apps, built into their telehealth.

TheraPlatform is a therapy-focused EHR with unlimited telehealth on every plan, along with scheduling, documentation, insurance billing, and interactive therapy apps for use in sessions. Session recording, transcription, and AI notes are available as paid extras. It signs a BAA at no extra charge. On every plan, your practice name and logo replace TheraPlatform’s, with a small “Powered by TheraPlatform” line.

Basic is $39 (solo only), Pro $69 plus $39 per added provider, and Pro Plus $79 plus $49 per added provider, with a 30-day free trial. AI Notes costs $30 per provider, and a custom domain and single sign-on cost extra. (TheraPlatform pricing)

Consider before choosing TheraPlatform:

• Branding stops at your name and logo unless you pay extra for a custom domain.
• AI notes ($30 per provider), recording, and transcription are paid extras.

Category 2: Video-First Teletherapy Tools

5. Doxy.me

Best for: clinicians who already have an EHR and want simple, no-download video visits at little or no cost.

Doxy.me is a browser-based telehealth tool built around simplicity. Clients join from a browser link with no download, wait in a virtual waiting room, and the clinician starts the session. Paid plans add group calls, screen sharing, intake and consent forms, clinic branding, and automated session notes and summaries. It offers a BAA on every plan, including Free.

There’s a free plan and Premium at $29 per user a month, billed annually; custom solutions are quoted. (Doxy.me pricing)

For a side-by-side with Q-Consultation, see QuickBlox vs Doxy.me.

Consider before choosing Doxy.me:

• It isn’t a practice management system: there’s no scheduling or billing, so you’ll run it alongside an EHR.
• Branding stops at your practice name and logo on Doxy.me’s interface.

6. Zoom for Healthcare

Best for: practices that already use Zoom and want HIPAA-ready video without changing tools.

Many therapists already know Zoom, and its healthcare plans add a BAA to it. The Zoom for Healthcare bundle adds online booking, a business phone system and, on higher tiers, patient texting with intake links. Clinical Notes, Zoom’s AI scribe, is a separate product.

Zoom Pro with a BAA starts at $14.16 per user a month, billed annually. The healthcare bundle runs from Essentials at $20.50 to Complete at $49.50 per user a month, billed annually, and Clinical Notes starts at $79. (Zoom pricing, Zoom for Healthcare, Clinical Notes)

For a side-by-side with Q-Consultation, see QuickBlox vs Zoom for Healthcare.

Consider before choosing Zoom for Healthcare:

• Clients join through a Zoom link, and the zoom.us domain can’t be removed.
• You’ll still need separate software for notes and billing.

Category 3: Branded, Configurable Platforms

7. QuickBlox Q-Consultation

Best for: behavioral health groups, multi-site services, and digital mental health companies that want telehealth under their own brand, with AI-assisted intake and a choice of where it’s hosted.

Q-Consultation for Healthcare gives clients and clinicians secure video and chat, self-booking with email and SMS reminders, private virtual waiting rooms, document sharing with e-signatures for consent forms, and audit logs. Its AI Agent handles intake and generates SOAP notes, and you set the logo, colors, domain, and client experience.

For mental health services, the difference is in the work around the session. AI Answer Assist suggests replies to client messages between sessions, which the clinician reviews before sending, and AI Translate supports conversations across languages. With the QuickBlox AI Agent workflow builder, you can collect your practice’s own intake questionnaires and answer routine admin questions, with handover to a clinician, so that work doesn’t land on your therapists’ caseload. The AI doesn’t assess or diagnose clients. You can connect your EHR through QuickBlox APIs and SDKs, and on Enterprise run it in your own cloud or on-premises.

Pricing isn’t published: there are standard plans, with custom pricing for complex requirements. A BAA is available.

Consider before choosing Q-Consultation:

• It isn’t an EHR or billing system; it integrates with the ones you use.
• Private cloud and on-premises hosting are Enterprise options, not part of standard plans.
• You’ll need a conversation with sales for pricing.

8. Healthie

Best for: digital mental health companies that want to build their own client experience on top of an existing EHR and API.

Healthie combines charting, scheduling, a client portal, payments, and telehealth, and its API lets companies build their own product on top. Behavioral health startups such as Klinic and Noma Therapy have built their services this way. Group telehealth comes with the Plus and Group plans.

Published monthly prices run from Core at $19.99, for up to 10 active clients, and Essentials at $49.99 to Plus at $129.99 and Group from $149.99, plus $50 per added clinician; annual billing is slightly lower. API access, the main reason digital mental health companies choose Healthie, is an add-on for the Group plan only. (Healthie pricing)

Consider before choosing Healthie:

• Out of the box, the client app is Healthie’s; your own branded experience means building on the API.
• The API route starts at the Group plan plus the API add-on, not the Core price.

9. VSee

Best for: organizations that want a free starting point and a path to a larger, more configurable deployment.

VSee covers video, waiting rooms, intake, scheduling, payments, and visit notes, and offers a BAA on every clinic plan, including Free. Full branding, a branded mobile app, SSO, custom workflows, and AI SOAP notes sit in Enterprise.

Plans run from Free to Plus at $29 and Premium at $49 per provider a month; Premium adds a custom logo and a $200 setup fee. Enterprise is quoted and usually an annual contract. (VSee pricing)

For a side-by-side with Q-Consultation, see QuickBlox vs VSee.

Consider before choosing VSee:

• The features that make it a branded platform are Enterprise-only, so compare Enterprise quotes, not the $29 plan.
• It’s built for medical telehealth broadly, so check how its intake and notes fit therapy workflows.

Other Telehealth Platforms for Therapists to Consider

Sessions Health

A budget practice tool for solo and small practices. Professional costs $39 a month for the first practitioner and $29 for each additional one, and a free plan covers up to three active clients. Integrated telehealth is a $10-a-month add-on on every plan, including Free, or you can use your own video tool. (Sessions Health pricing)

Valant

A behavioral health EHR and practice management platform, founded by a psychiatrist, covering documentation, scheduling, billing, e-prescribing, outcome tracking, and telehealth. It serves solo providers through to multi-site organizations and intensive outpatient programs. Pricing isn’t published.

Enghouse Video

An enterprise video platform used by healthcare organizations, including behavioral health services. It suits larger organizations that want dedicated video infrastructure rather than practice software. Pricing isn’t published.

Which Telehealth Platform Is Right for Your Practice?

How to Compare Telehealth Platforms for Therapists

The platforms on this page differ most in five ways:

• whether video is included or a paid add-on, and whether group sessions cost extra
• where your notes, scheduling, and billing live
• how far branding goes: your logo and colors, a custom domain, branded apps, or control over the workflow itself
• whether AI stops at notes or also supports intake and between-session messaging
• how pricing scales as you add clinicians

Mental health practices should also ask:

• Can couples, family, and group clients join from separate locations, and how many participants are allowed?
• Does documentation support treatment plans, outcome measures, and therapy note templates?
• How does between-session messaging handle urgent messages, and what do clients see about response times?
• Can consent workflows cover minors and guardians, and supervisors where relevant?

Settle those first and most shortlists shrink quickly. Check how the BAA is provided too: on every plan, inside the account, or as an addendum to the terms. For a full vendor evaluation, use the Telehealth Platform Evaluation Checklist, and for what a complete platform includes, see What Is a Telehealth Platform?

How Much Does Telehealth Software for Therapists Cost?

Therapist telehealth software costs anywhere from free to a quoted contract. The biggest driver is which type you buy.

Watch for costs outside the headline price: telehealth sold as an add-on ($10–15 per clinician on some plans), AI notes ($30–59 a month), per-claim and per-reminder fees, and the plan tier that includes a BAA.

Teletherapy Software vs Online Therapy Services

Many search results for teletherapy platforms are online therapy services such as BetterHelp, Talkspace, or Grow Therapy. They connect clients with therapists in their own network, so for clinicians they’re an employer or referral source, not software to run a practice on. If you’re a medical practice rather than a mental health one, Best Telemedicine Software for Clinics and Healthcare Providers compares platforms built around medical workflows.

Where QuickBlox Q-Consultation Fits

Q-Consultation is for mental health organizations that have outgrown practice software as their client-facing experience, or that are building a service of their own. In our experience, the deciding questions are ownership ones: whose brand the client sees, where the data is hosted, and whether intake and between-session contact can be shaped around how your clinicians actually work. That’s where Q-Consultation is strongest: your branding, AI built into the clinician’s workflow from intake and notes to Answer Assist and translation, and hosting choices up to private cloud and on-premises on Enterprise. If you’re weighing a branded platform more broadly, see What Is White-Label Telehealth?

If you’re a solo therapist who needs notes, billing, and video in one subscription, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, or TheraNest will serve you better. If you only need video beside an existing EHR, start with Doxy.me.
