Short answer: there’s no single “best” for everyone, but these telehealth services are the top choices for adults with ADHD plus anxiety depending on whether you want medication management, therapy, or an integrated program:
Recommended providers
- Done — ADHD-first telehealth that focuses on adult ADHD medication management (including stimulant prescriptions where appropriate) and coaching. Good if your priority is streamlined ADHD treatment from prescribers experienced in adult ADHD.
- ADHD Online — specialty ADHD evaluation and medication management via telemedicine. Useful if you want a focused, fast ADHD diagnostic path and prescriptions.
- Brightside Health — combines medication management and evidence-based therapy for anxiety and depression; clinicians often coordinate care, which is helpful when anxiety co-occurs with ADHD.
- Talkiatry — psychiatry-focused telehealth that accepts many insurances and handles complex psych med management (ADHD + anxiety). Good if you want an insured psychiatric prescriber rather than a subscription service.
- Cerebral — offers both therapy and prescriber visits on one platform; convenient for combined ADHD/anxiety care when you want an all-in-one subscription model.
- BetterHelp / Talkspace / SonderMind — therapy-first platforms with large therapist networks. Choose these if you want consistent CBT or CBT-for-ADHD-style therapy (they don’t reliably prescribe stimulants, so pair with a prescriber if you need meds).
How to choose
- If you need stimulants/controlled medications: confirm the platform can legally prescribe them in your state and ask about monitoring and follow-up. Some services won’t prescribe stimulants on the first visit or in certain states.
- If anxiety is a big part of your problem: prefer platforms that offer evidence-based therapy (CBT) plus psychiatric follow-up (Brightside, Cerebral, Talkiatry).
- If cost/insurance matters: check which providers accept your insurance (Talkiatry and some regional tele-psychiatry services often do) vs. subscription/self-pay models (Done, Cerebral, Brightside).
- For continuity and coordination: look for platforms where the prescriber and therapist can communicate or where you can see the same clinician repeatedly.
Questions to ask before signing up
- Do you treat adults with both ADHD and anxiety? How much of your caseload is that population?
- Can you prescribe stimulants or other ADHD meds in my state?
- Do you offer combined care (therapist + prescriber) and do they coordinate?
- What are typical wait times, costs, and whether you take my insurance?
If you want, tell me your state, whether you need insurance coverage, and whether you want meds, therapy, or both — I can narrow this to the one or two best options for your situation.
