No worries! It will actually still come down to where the work is preformed. Each state has separate rules for how much income you receive and if you need to file.
So if you are traveling to the different states and performing the service you may be required to file "non-resident" returns. This is a great article outlining that: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/help/why-would-i-have-to-file-a-nonresident-state-retu...
But let's say your work is done at home then you only need to pay tax for the full amount earned (after deductions of course) to your state of residence. The one thing to watch out for is SALES TAX - emphasis on purpose. If your freelance work involves sales (like etsy) then you do need to charge sales tax based on the state/city/county you are shipping to and NOT your home state/city/county.
