Things to consider when finding a therapist:
Do you prefer to go to therapy in-person or are you more comfortable with a virtual format? 
Do you have a gender preference when it comes to a therapist? 
Is there something you need or want your therapist to specialize in? 
If you do prefer in-person, how far are you willing to travel?
What are your personal goals for therapy? 

If you're emailing potential therapists and aren't sure what to say, here's a short template (you can include more info about yourself or what your goals are if you're comfortable doing that): 

Hi! My name is YOUR NAME and I'm hoping to schedule a therapy session with you. I can be reached at CONTACT PHONE and/or EMAIL. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.  

Remember, therapists are here to support you through your mental health journey and give you tools and resources to help make you successful. A good therapist will never judge you!
