Mental health in Arkansas.

Company statements checked between September 11, 2026 and September 15, 2026: 2 covered companies — Doctor On Demand and MDLIVE — advertise online mental health services to patients in Arkansas. Confirm eligibility and total charges with the provider.

Selected online mental-health services advertised for Arkansas, distinguishing pay-per-visit talk therapy from psychiatry and noting which of the two the company's state statement actually covers.

For patients in Arkansas. These are advertised online services, not verified local offices, appointment slots or prescription guarantees.

Read the state statement for what it names

Doctor On Demand’s online psychiatry page states that it provides psychiatric care in all 50 states, and that sentence is the evidence for Arkansas. Its therapy page publishes no equivalent state statement, so read the entry below as psychiatry reach; talk therapy is a separate appointment type, booked and priced on its own.

The same page says a psychiatrist does not need to be physically located in the patient’s state but must be licensed where the patient is at the time of the appointment. That is a licensing arrangement rather than an office in Arkansas, and it does not establish an open slot, a covered price or any particular prescription. The cost page separates the initial psychiatry consultation from follow-ups. The Doctor On Demand profile carries company background.

Statewide online advertising does not imply an office in Arkansas, a live opening or a particular prescription. Treat the row below as an access reference and confirm eligibility and cost directly. The national overview explains the other models covered on this site.

Selected providers

Which providers serve Arkansas?

2 companies with published profiles and service-specific source records. Listed alphabetically, not ranked. This is selected coverage—not every provider in the market.

Formats describe the program, not a guaranteed first-visit option in every state. A messaging or questionnaire option does not promise an initial evaluation without a live appointment. Read each provider’s service and state access notes.

Doctor On Demand

Pay-per-visit talk therapy and psychiatry, booked as separate appointment types

Official website ↗
  • Live visit

Company-described psychologists and licensed therapists for talk therapy, and psychiatrists described as licensed medical doctors who can prescribe and monitor medication. Therapy appointments are not prescribing appointments.

Access channel: Direct to consumer, Employer, Health plan

Cash pay · Insurance · Employer or plan benefit

Self-pay therapy is listed at $134 for a 25-minute consultation and $184 for 50 minutes. Self-pay psychiatry is listed at $299 for an initial 45-minute consultation and $129 for a 15-minute follow-up. The $99 self-pay figure the company advertises elsewhere is its urgent-care visit price and does not apply to mental health. With insurance the company says cost varies by plan and may be $0.

Doctor On Demand reports psychiatric care in all 50 states, Arkansas among them. The evidence is its psychiatry page; the separately booked talk-therapy appointment carries no published Arkansas statement.

Doctor On Demand states that it provides psychiatric care in all 50 states. That statement covers psychiatry: the company publishes no equivalent state statement for its talk-therapy appointments, which are booked and priced separately, so treat this as evidence about reaching a prescriber rather than about therapist availability. The company also states that a psychiatrist does not need to be physically located in your state but must be licensed to practice in the state where you are at the time of your appointment, so this is not a local office. It does not establish an available appointment, a particular clinician, insurance or employer coverage, or that any medication will be prescribed.

Insured cost is plan-specific: the site publishes different therapy and psychiatry ranges for each named plan and says the estimate can change once coverage and deductible are known. Company-reported.

MDLIVE

Scheduled therapy and psychiatry by phone or video, including medication-management appointments with psychiatrists, with care for children aged 10 to 17 also advertised

Official website ↗
  • Live visit

Therapists and psychiatrists seen by appointment rather than on demand, so availability depends on provider schedules.

Access channel: Direct to consumer, Employer, Health plan

Cash pay · Insurance · Employer or plan benefit

Therapy is advertised at $0 to $179 for an initial visit with follow-ups up to $140 before insurance; psychiatry at $0 to $299 for an initial visit with follow-ups up to $159 before insurance. A $0 price depends on insurance or benefit eligibility rather than applying to every patient, and people with employer or plan access see their applicable charge before booking.

Arkansas sits inside MDLIVE's answer that it is available anywhere in the United States; the company publishes no Arkansas-specific statement, and the footnote to that answer makes phone visits subject to state regulation. Read it as reach only: no appointment is held, no particular therapist or psychiatrist is promised, the FAQ is silent on which clinician type takes which need, and treatment or a prescription remains a clinical decision.

MDLIVE's FAQ answers "Where is MDLIVE available?" with "MDLIVE is available anywhere in the United States* and Puerto Rico", adding that with its national network of board-certified doctors you can ensure that each doctor available to you is fully licensed to practice medicine in your state. The asterisk marks a footnote saying availability of phone visits varies in accordance with state regulations. That answer is tagged to MDLIVE's mental-health service among others, and a separate FAQ answer says MDLIVE has a vast, nationwide network of board-certified, licensed doctors in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. This records where the mental-health service is offered. It does not establish which clinicians are available where you are, how soon an appointment can be scheduled, what you would pay, or that any particular treatment or prescription will be provided.

State evidence checked · State availability source

Phone-visit availability varies under state rules, so the format can depend on location. Not every plan covers every MDLIVE service. A prescription is not guaranteed and the service does not prescribe controlled substances. MDLIVE is for nonemergency care and directs mental-health emergencies to 911 or emergency care.

How companies enter this list

Each selected company has a published profile, a maintained service row and a separately reviewed match to current evidence for this state. A general national footprint is insufficient. The list is selective; an omitted provider is not necessarily unavailable. Inclusion does not establish clinical suitability, state licensure or a currently available appointment.

Smaller and larger providers use the same source requirements and alphabetical ordering. Visit each profile for company history and wider context, or suggest another provider.
