Short answer: there’s no single “best” for everyone — it depends on whether you want medication-first care, integrated medication + therapy, in-network/insurance use, or a specialist ADHD clinic. Below are top telehealth options for adults with ADHD who also have anxiety, with why each is a good fit.
Recommendations
- Brightside Health — best for integrated care (therapy + medication). They specialize in anxiety/depression and have expanded ADHD services; clinicians coordinate medication management and evidence-based therapy (CBT), which helps with comorbid anxiety.
- Done (DoneHealth) — best for fast, ADHD-focused medication management. They do adult ADHD evaluations and routinely prescribe stimulants and non‑stimulants; good if your priority is streamlined ADHD medication care. (Less therapy integration than Brightside.)
- Talkiatry — good for psychiatric-first care for ADHD + anxiety. Telepsychiatrists provide diagnoses and medication management and coordinate with therapists when needed; a strong option if you want a psychiatrist rather than a prescriber with limited scope.
- PlushCare / Amwell / Teladoc Psychiatry — best if you want to use insurance or need broad availability. These larger telehealth platforms connect you with psychiatrists and therapists and often accept major insurers, which can lower out‑of‑pocket cost and improve continuity.
- ADHD Online (ADHDonline.com) — good for straightforward adult ADHD evaluations and treatment plans via telehealth when you primarily need an assessment and medication options.
- Hybrid approach: Done (medication) + BetterHelp or a CBT therapist (therapy) — worth considering if you want the fastest medication access but also regular CBT for anxiety and ADHD skills.
How to choose
- If you want medication + therapy in one place: choose Brightside or a platform that explicitly offers both.
- If stimulants are likely needed and you want quick access to prescribing: Done or ADHD Online are efficient (check state rules).
- If you rely on insurance: use PlushCare, Amwell, Teladoc, or a local telepsychiatry group that accepts your plan.
- If you prefer a psychiatrist (for complex cases, multiple meds, co-occurring disorders): prioritize Talkiatry or psychiatry services on Amwell/Teladoc.
- Always check: availability in your state, whether the platform prescribes controlled substances in your state, clinician credentials, wait times, costs, and whether they offer CBT for anxiety.
If you want, tell me:
- your state or whether you need in‑network providers, and
- whether you prefer meds-first or therapy-first care, and I’ll narrow this to the best 2–3 specific options for you and can draft questions to ask on your first visit.
