What kind of flooring options are there to lay directly over ceramic tile? You knowledgeable bass should be able to help me out.

A rug?

Just pay someone to take up the ceramic tile and put down whatever you want. Is the tile down on a slab or a subfloor?

Take out tile. Stain the concrete.
Don't floor over tile. We have to assume the tile is shitty for you to tile over. It's a big red flag to when and if you sell later. "Is that floor over another tile floor?" Inspector furiously scribbles and buyer wrings hands.

HUGE PITA over old concrete. Especially one that had tile, grout, and thinset over it.

Also...wouldn't placing flooring over tile cause the floor height to be higher? Which could be an issue with doors/appliances?

I am no floor expert, but I am betting that the only thing you could do would be to lay some wooden sub floor over the tile and then install your new floor over that. I am curious to see what the experts say.

Correct. Ripping ceramic isn't terrible and even easier if you rent one of these:

If it's larger tile you can throw a floating floor over it with a decent underlayment. You will have to cut door jambs for a proper fit. Tile over tile is a bad idea. If it was me I'd take out the old and then lay down your new stuff.

Just busy it out. Hopefully for you it's laid on something other than a back board or else that's lots of work lol.
It shouldn't be though , and you won't know till you take a hammer to it. After that lay down anything. Typically only threshold entry ways, and fire place settings would be on back board in typically rooms. Bathrooms might be set.
Like I said get rid of it and start by smacking a hammer on top of a tile

you can do anything you want you can take it out or use a product called ardex self leveler and then glue whatever you want on it. but apply a moisture barrier (roll on) Use a quality glue like WAKOL adhesive
