Reegan Koppelman
Hi there! I'd like to share a bit about me! I'm Reegan. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor currently in the state of Florida, for the past 8 years. I received my masters degree in Mental Health counseling from Seton Hall University in 2014 through their online program. A bit about my background and who/ what I have experience working with- my internship and first few years of counseling were spent in office at a clinic that served both mental health and substance use disorders. In 2017 I started my transition into online work so I could meet the specific populations the LGBTQ+ community, women and trauma/ childhood trauma. I am trauma aware/ informed and doing many outside trainings to be fully trauma trained. My initial frame work began in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). Over the years I have worked meet the client where they are at, by using other modalities based on what was needed. I also tend to use a very person-centered approach which can mean taking extra time to build rapport/ a therapeutic relationship. My experiences clinically vary from anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, coping\stress, substance abuse/use related issues, trauma related work, nervous system dysregulation and more. I am also neurodivergent affirming/ informed and able to talk through some of those things as well. I am still working on increasing my education and knowledge on this part as its vastly under represented, but having someone even opening to talk and look at symptoms can super helpful if you are suspecting something might be going on. It can be a very tough, judgmental world out there, I get that. That is why I am here to help you learn to cope with with the curve balls life may have thrown at you. To help you find yourself and learn to manage all the things that are brought forth by life. If this feels like it might be a good fit, stop by and see. I do like to be transparent unfront that I am a mom of 2 special needs kiddos who are home with me during the day. Please make sure the time slots in the afternoon available for appointments would fit, if what you were looking for (if you are coming in mid week, look at the future week to see what is available fully). I'm looking for a few longer term clients who can fit in those slots or who just wants to solely communicate on the boards. I do write and communicate with clients daily on the boards. Thanks for reading! Hope you find what you are looking for in a match, whether its here or with another counselor! Take care!

Mark Odell
Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and retired Navy Chief Petty Officer. I have a master's degree in counseling and psychology and over 14 years of experience as a therapist. I am currently located in Pensacola, Florida. My passion is providing individual counseling services to adults and teens. I specialize in helping people through many of life's emotional challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential issues. Currently, I work exclusively with individual adult clients (not couples or children). Many people face various emotional challenges, wanting solutions for the here and now. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential issues can be the biggest culprits. Those problems often stem from the past and may be rooted in generational family dysfunction. As a result, buried feelings, isolation, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, and getting involved in unhealthy relationships become problematic. I specialize in various therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). If you feel stuck and seek relief, I will happily work with you and help you reach your full potential.

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 Florida 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.
