Therapy can help you develop the coping strategies you need to manage many of life’s challenges. If you’re looking for a therapist, CO has many online treatment options.

An online therapy platform like BetterHelp can make therapy more flexible and convenient.

While BetterHelp does not offer group therapy at this time, the platform allows you to work through your unique challenges with your counselor one-on-one. Whether you need to improve your coping skills, learn to manage everyday stressors, or want to address repetitive behaviors, a BetterHelp provider can guide you through the healing process in a safe, therapeutic space. 

The list below can help you find providers licensed in the state of Colorado so you can learn more about the benefits of online treatment and sign up for your first therapy session.

Please note, due to weather, the internet may not be available, when this happens, I ask that you reschedule your appointment and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Hello, my name is Vickie. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addiction Counselor in Colorado. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2011 and just this year got my Licensed Addiction Counselor credential. However, I have been working in the mental health field in a variety of roles and settings since 1996. A few of those settings include the Department of Human Services, Community Mental Health, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment centers and non-profit health clinic work. I describe my approach as eclectic. I do not practice one single modality but rather a variety based on the needs of the individual. I believe that every individual’s concerns are unique to them and their experience and therefore believe it is important to tailor the therapeutic process to their unique circumstances. I find that components of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior are Therapy are often most effective and tend to use those evidenced based approaches the most; however, I am educated in a variety of therapeutic approaches and will use whatever is the best fit for you. I have significant experience working with a variety of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, parenting issues, gender dysphoria, personality disorders and substance use. Thank you for taking the time to read about me, I look forward to having the opportunity to learn about you and assist you reaching your goals! Warm Regards, Vickie

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 5 years of experience dedicated to empowering individuals through a strengths-based, person-centered approach to therapy. I believe that each person has unique strengths and inner resources that can be harnessed to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. My role as a therapist is to guide and support you in tapping into these strengths while providing a safe and non-judgmental space for exploration and healing. I specialize in helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ2IA+ related issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also work with individuals to build effective coping strategies and skills, particularly for those with ADHD, to foster greater focus, self-regulation, and overall well-being. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop emotional regulation skills, and work toward lasting, positive change. My approach is collaborative, and I tailor each session to meet your specific needs and goals. If you’re seeking a therapist who will listen, understand, and walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges, I’d be honored to help you on your journey toward healing and empowerment. Please reach out to learn more or schedule an appointment.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section 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.

When should I get a therapist in Colorado?

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 can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover the cost of 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 the safe option?

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.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
