Short answer: there’s no single “best” for everyone — the right telehealth depends on whether you want medication management (including stimulants), integrated therapy, insurance coverage, cost, and wait time. That said, these services are widely used and good options for adults with ADHD plus anxiety:
-
Done (DoneHealth) — Best if your primary need is ADHD evaluation and ongoing medication management. They specialize in adult ADHD, have streamlined tele-evaluations, and can prescribe stimulants where allowed. Good for people who want efficient, ADHD-focused care.
-
Talkiatry — Best if you want coordinated psychiatry + therapy that accepts many insurances. They offer psychiatric medication management and psychotherapy for comorbid ADHD and anxiety, and are often a good choice if you want access to both a prescriber and therapists under one provider who can coordinate care.
-
PlushCare — Good general tele-psychiatry option for getting an ADHD evaluation and prescriptions quickly. They offer psychiatry visits and can treat anxiety as well; they’re convenient if you want flexible scheduling and do not need a clinic focused solely on ADHD.
-
Cerebral — Popular for combined medication management + therapy for anxiety and ADHD-like symptoms. Note: service availability and practices have changed over time, so check current offerings and reviews for your state before signing up.
-
BetterHelp or Talkspace (therapy) + a separate tele-psychiatry service for meds — Best if you want long-term CBT-style therapy (for anxiety and ADHD coping skills) but need a different provider to manage stimulant prescriptions. Many users combine a therapy platform with a psychiatry service (PlushCare, Talkiatry, or local tele-psychiatrist).
How to choose (quick checklist):
- Do you need stimulant prescriptions? Make sure the service prescribes controlled meds in your state.
- Want therapy plus meds? Look for platforms that provide both clinicians and coordinated care.
- Insurance vs cash pay? Check whether the service accepts your plan or offers sliding-scale fees.
- Specialist experience. Ask whether providers have experience treating adult ADHD and co-occurring anxiety (look for CBT for ADHD, CBT for anxiety).
- Availability and follow-up. Check wait times and how follow-up visits/med adjustments are handled.
If you tell me: (1) which state you’re in, (2) whether you want meds (stimulants) or only therapy, and (3) whether you need insurance coverage, I can recommend the single best match for your situation and link to how to get started.
