eSEOspace works on the websites and search marketing of the 12 therapy and mental health practices below. They range from solo counselors to an all-virtual group practice, a speech clinic and two practices led by psychiatric nurse practitioners. Each description comes only from that practice's client spotlight page on our site.
We don't rate or rank our clients, and we haven't listed outcomes. Each spotlight page states the same thing. What you'll see here is what each practice offers, how its site explains it, and the patterns that show up across all of them.
If you're comparing agencies, this page shows the kinds of practices we know. For the full picture of therapy practice marketing, see our Therapy Practice Marketing Guide.
Key Takeaways
- Every practice below is an eSEOspace client; we work on its website and search marketing.
- Credentials are listed exactly as each spotlight page gives them, including two practices led by psychiatric nurse practitioners, not psychiatrists.
- Most of these sites say clearly which states they can see clients in by telehealth.
- Several sites explain what the practice does not offer, such as crisis care or prescribing, so visitors can self-select.
- Fees, insurance and first steps are spelled out on most spotlight pages, which helps visitors decide before they call.

What these sites have in common
Reading the 12 spotlights side by side, a few habits repeat. They're worth copying on any therapy site.
Credentials stated exactly
Each page uses the clinician's actual license and degree. Two practices are led by psychiatric nurse practitioners, and their pages say so plainly. For psychologists, the APA Ethics Code Standard 5.01 bars false or deceptive statements about degrees and credentials. Other license types have similar rules in their own codes.
Telehealth limits by state
Most of these sites say where clients must be located during a session. That's clearer for visitors than "telehealth available." Our guide to telehealth websites and multistate practice explains how to word it.
What the practice does not offer
Several pages list exclusions: no crisis care, no prescribing, no care for minors, or no in-person sessions. This helps the wrong-fit visitor move on quickly.
Crisis information
Several spotlights point people in crisis to 988, 911 or an emergency room. The 988 Lifeline says it is available 24/7/365 by call, text or chat. See our guide to crisis resources on therapy websites.
Fees and first steps
Most pages explain fees or how fees are shared, insurance status, and the first steps after contact. For self-pay clients, CMS's Good Faith Estimate guide explains when an estimate of expected charges is due.
Practitioner listings
Group practices often need both a location profile and individual practitioner profiles on Google. Google's Business Profile guidelines say each practitioner's profile "should include only the name of the practitioner."

Frequently asked questions
Are these the only therapy practices eSEOspace works with?
No. These are the therapy and mental health practices that have a client spotlight page on our site. We describe each one only from what that page says.
Why don't you list results for each practice?
Each spotlight page states that eSEOspace doesn't rate or score its clients, and none of them reports outcomes. Search results depend on many things outside a website, so we don't present numbers we can't stand behind.
Do you work with psychiatric nurse practitioner practices?
Yes. Two of the practices above are led by board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners. Their sites describe them accurately, not as psychiatrists. Our psychiatry website design and SEO page has more.
Do you work with speech, occupational or physical therapy clinics?
Yes. Lynne Alba Speech Therapy Solutions is one example. We also have service pages for speech, occupational and physical therapy practices.
Can I contact these practices about working with eSEOspace?
Please don't contact them for that purpose. They're busy treating clients. If you'd like to talk about references, raise it on a discovery call.
