Lamplight Counseling Services

What Lamplight Counseling Services does

Lamplight Counseling Services is a private, for-profit mental health counseling practice founded in 2014 in Northeast Ohio. It operates as Lamplight Counseling Services, LLC, an Ohio-domiciled LLC, and is owned and led by founder and CEO Bridget Richard with Clinical Director Maria Rodriguez overseeing clinical quality. The company employs 30+ licensed therapists and interns across three physical offices (Independence, Middleburg Heights, Medina) and offers statewide Ohio telehealth, delivering individual, couples, family, child/adolescent, trauma/EMDR, and anxiety/depression therapy grounded in evidence-based modalities (EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, Gottman Method, CPT, play therapy).

The practice runs on SimplePractice as its HIPAA-compliant electronic health record, patient portal, scheduling system, and secure telehealth video platform. There is no proprietary technology stack; the operational differentiator is the depth of clinician specialization and the ability to match clients to therapists with modality-specific expertise, with the option to switch clinicians if the initial fit is unsatisfactory. Insurance is accepted from 30+ carriers (including Medical Mutual, Anthem, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, CareSource, Humana), and billing is per-session under CPT codes such as 90834; EAP sessions are not accepted. Marketing is content-led (Wellness Corner blog, clinician bios, organic search, social media) supplemented by word-of-mouth referrals.

Lamplight is a founder-led, organically grown local practice with no external equity capital, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no public listing. Revenue is generated entirely from outpatient therapy session fees, primarily reimbursed by insurance with patient co-pays, coinsurance, or deductibles applied per plan. Geographic reach is bounded by Ohio state telehealth licensure and the three physical office locations in Greater Cleveland's southern suburbs.

Direct peers

• Talkiatry: Outpatient psychiatry and therapy practice operating across multiple states with in-person and telehealth delivery, comparable to Lamplight as a clinician-led insurance-accepting group practice.
• Sondermind: Multi-state outpatient mental health practice combining in-person and telehealth with a network of licensed clinicians. Comparable to Lamplight in clinician-led hybrid delivery and insurance-based reimbursement.
• Lifestance Health: Large multi-state outpatient mental health group practice with in-person and telehealth services, scaled clinician network, and insurance-based billing. Directly comparable as a multi-location clinical practice serving similar populations.
• Two Chairs: Outpatient therapy practice offering in-person and teletherapy with a focus on therapist-client matching and evidence-based modalities, directly comparable to Lamplight's hybrid model and clinician matching emphasis.
• Refresh Mental Health: Multi-state outpatient mental health group practice offering therapy and psychiatry in-person and via telehealth, comparable in service mix, clinician model, and insurance-based billing.

Broad incumbents

• Talkspace: National teletherapy and psychiatry platform with B2B2C employer relationships. Comparable in modality mix and insurance acceptance, but operates as a virtual platform serving a much broader geography than Ohio.
• BetterHelp: Largest consumer online therapy platform with a national telehealth therapist network. Overlaps with Lamplight's telehealth and individual therapy lines but operates as a virtual-only platform at much greater scale.

Emerging players

• Charlie Health: Specialty mental health provider focused on intensive outpatient programming for adolescents and young adults, with hybrid delivery. Partial overlap with Lamplight's child/adolescent therapy line and trauma offerings.
• Headway: Platform that helps therapists run insurance-accepting practices, providing credentialing, billing, and EHR support. Comparable to Lamplight in target market and insurance-accepting model, but as a backend platform rather than a clinical practice.

Regional players

• Cleveland Clinic Behavioral Health: Behavioral health service line of a major regional health system serving the same Northeast Ohio market as Lamplight. Comparable as a competing local outpatient mental health provider with insurance billing, but embedded within a broader hospital system.
