Working with a licensed therapist can provide a non-judgmental space for working through your unique challenges, like navigating relationship difficulties, improving low self-esteem, or managing the symptoms of mental health conditions like anxiety or depression.
If you’re looking for a therapist, AZ has many options for online therapy. Barriers to treatment, like transportation issues or concerns about cost, can make finding the right therapist challenging. Plus, you may live in a part of the state where access to Tucson or Phoenix therapists is limited. Telehealth services through a platform like BetterHelp can give you convenient and flexible mental health care from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you.
BetterHelp does not provide group therapy or treatment designed for children, like play therapy at this time. However, the psychologists, social workers, and other professionals on the platform can guide you through various modalities, including narrative therapy, art therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Plus, you can change providers at any time until you find the right therapeutic relationship for you.
If you’re looking for a therapist in Flagstaff, Phoenix, Tucson, or the surrounding areas, connect with a provider licensed in Arizona below to learn more about the therapeutic process and take a step toward improving your mental health.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, self- esteem, career challenges and addiction. My counseling style is warm and attentive. I am very easy going and I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I do not believe in one size fits all treatment, so I will work hard to adjust treatment to meet your unique and specific needs.

Dr. Carol Carrell
I have been a counselor for 30 years with experience in treating clients from 18 months to 98 years. As a professor and supervisor I utilize a variety of modalities and believe that each client is special and unique. One approach does not fit all. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, first responders, professionals, dealing with illness and care giver fatigue, chronic pain, trasuma, abuse and addiction. I have worked with children that have faced difficult health challenges that have not only affected them but their family as well. In addition I have worked with adolescents in the juvenile justice system, learning disabilities, suicidality, LGBTQI issues, trauma and abuse. It is important to establish an atmosphere of trust and safety where adolescents can express themselves and feel heard and accepted. When working with couples it is important to establish an atmosphere that is safe to explore the family issues. I work with couples that have chronic medical issues that have caused stress and communication problems. It is important to address the caregiver fatigue aspect in chronic medical issues. In addition, is important to identify and strengths that each brings to the relationship and how to communicate effectively. Communication is a key element in being able to set goals and move forward in their relationship. I have worked with LGBTQI clients in their process of coming out to their family and community. Therapy is a gift that you give yourself. I look forward to working with you to work towards the change you desire

*please note my schedule will always reflect that I do not have any openings, that is only because I do my own scheduling! If I am showing as open for new clients, that means I do have weekly time slots available!* Hi my name is Katy (she/they), and I identify as a: Neurodivergent ENM, Pansexual, Gender Fluid, Feminist, Burner, Aspiring Polymath, Socialist, Mother, Empath, Dreamer, Student of Life, Seeker of Truth, Harbinger of Hope, and Daughter of Ice and Fire. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Arizona! My preferred client population are those in the queer/kink/ENM/geek cultures! Look Alive Sunshine! Hello Sweetie! How you doin’? In this Safe Zone we believe all stories start with once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, and don’t let the Muggles get us down. Though it can get Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey the TARDIS takes us traveling (with Consent of course), to Boldly go where no person has gone before. On this journey, we can follow the White Rabbit, to Infinity and Beyond, through Platform 9 ¾ to walk across Middle Earth, and explore worlds found in wardrobes. Where we’re going we don’t need roads; but we fly beyond The Nothing, to find our Infinity Stones, Manage our Mischief, and Always question when we Aim to Misbehave. Even though Winter is Coming, the Force is Strong within us. So Don’t Blink and Don’t Panic because we believe The Truth is Out There, the No Win Scenario is Inconceivable, and Goonies Never Say Die. Here, our focus determines our reality, the goal is progress, not perfection, and we know the difference between walking the path and knowing the path; because we are The Chosen Ones. We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, that vulnerability is our superpower, and while hunting demons with the Winchester’s the odds are ever in our favor. In our quest to Know our Worth and Live Long and Prosper, we find that with Great Power Comes Great Responsibility and that We Can Do Hard Things. Even when We’re all Mad Here, we can still Have Fun Storming the Castle. So we will Just Keep Swimming, and Turn on the Light because we remember that Happiness can Always be Found even in the Darkest of Times. We’ve got Faith, Trust, and a little Pixie Dust, and rarely succumb to The Dark Side. So, Who ya gunna call?

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some commonly asked questions can be found below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
How do I know if I should get a therapist?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Arizona can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy safe?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
