Short answer: Look for a telehealth service that offers both psychiatric medication management (with clinicians experienced in adult ADHD) and evidence‑based therapy for anxiety (CBT). Good options that meet both needs are Talkiatry, Done, Brightside, and larger telemedicine platforms (Amwell / Doctor On Demand / Teladoc). Which is “best” depends on whether ADHD or anxiety is the primary problem, whether you need stimulant prescriptions, and whether you want to use insurance.
Top recommendations (with why):
-
Talkiatry — Best for comprehensive psychiatric care. They pair board‑certified psychiatrists with therapists, so one team can manage ADHD medications and treat comorbid anxiety with therapy. Good if you want an integrated psychiatry-first approach.
-
Done (joinDone) — Best if ADHD is the main issue. Done focuses on adult ADHD medication management and coaching from clinicians experienced with ADHD. Pair it with a CBT therapist (Done sometimes coordinates) if anxiety needs focused psychotherapy.
-
Brightside Health — Best if anxiety (or depression/anxiety mix) is the dominant concern but you also want medication and therapy in one program. Brightside’s structured programs and therapists are strong on anxiety treatment and can coordinate med management.
-
Amwell / Doctor On Demand / Teladoc — Best if you want broad access and to use insurance. These platforms let you book psychiatrists and psychologists in many states; good for finding clinicians who treat both ADHD and anxiety. Quality depends on the individual provider you pick.
-
Talkspace / BetterHelp (therapy) + separate psychiatry for meds — Best if you prefer continuous, flexible therapy (CBT) and are willing to get medication management from a psychiatrist/telepsychiatry service. Many people pair a therapy app with a psychiatry platform.
How to choose for your situation (quick checklist):
- Confirm the platform treats adult ADHD and comorbid anxiety (ask before you sign up).
- Ask whether providers have experience with adult ADHD and with stimulant vs non‑stimulant options (some states/ platforms limit stimulant prescribing).
- Make sure they offer CBT or anxiety‑focused therapy (or can refer to a therapist who does).
- Check whether they accept your insurance or offer affordable cash pricing.
- Look at provider types (board‑certified psychiatrists vs nurse practitioners) and the platform’s continuity of care (same clinician over time).
- Read recent reviews and check wait times.
