Therapy can help you learn more about yourself and lead a more meaningful life. If you’re looking for a therapist, GA has many options for online treatment. Finding a therapist in Georgia can be challenging. Barriers to treatment, like a lack of available providers or transportation issues, can make it challenging to find in-person treatment. 

While BetterHelp does not currently provide group therapy, you can get one-on-one treatment with a licensed psychologist, social worker, marriage and family therapist, or other mental health professional. Every therapist on the platform has a master's of arts or science degree. Note that while BetterHelp providers have a wide range of experience, they do not offer mental health care to children or use techniques designed for younger clients, like play therapy, at this time.

BetterHelp providers use a holistic approach and a variety of therapeutic techniques to ensure that they meet your unique needs. If you need help developing coping skills, improving self-awareness, or facing challenges in your family, counseling can help. Whether you’re in Savannah, Augusta, or Atlanta, GA, or anywhere in between, contact one of the therapists below to start working with a provider licensed to practice in the Peach State.

I have been providing counseling in various settings for over 20 years, with 14 years as a licensed professional. I am a counselor who provides services in the state of GA and Utah. I hold a Doctorate of Theology in Christian Counseling and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked closely with Veterans, people suffering from adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, couples, empty nesters and other persons who are experiencing loss or grief or relationship problems. My style of counseling includes cognitive behavioral therapy; helping you to improve your mental clarity by thinking and developing coping mechanisms to overcome the issues that are concerning to you. My approach utilizes motivational interviewing. I want to point out the incongruence in what you say versus what you do; so we can begin to realign your thoughts with your actions and behaviors. Help in whatever area you are struggling with is just an email, click, text or phone call away. What are you waiting for; lets help you become your best self.

I am a licensed professional counselor with 30+ years of experience plus specialized training in addictions, employee assistance services, trauma and career/life coaching. My focus is working with adults on a variety of issues which include depression, anxiety, panic disorders, life changes, relationship issues, addiction, trauma, military family culture, and employment/job stressors. What I try to provide is a safe, calm space to talk about personal issues and feelings while being heard by another person. Life can be so fast paced and rushed at times that a counseling hour provides a brief time out from life offering an individual the opportunity to reflect on what is happening in their life and receive feedback/coaching on how to improve any areas causing pain or discomfort. To me, therapy is a unique partnership between two persons which can work well in helping people cope with life successfully. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and help you create the life you want to live.

Hello, I am grateful you stopped by! Are you facing an acute stressor (short-term or sudden onset), seeking prevention of health-related concerns, brushing up on a relapse or maintenance plan, or just trying to figure out the next steps in your journey? I believe, working together, you can achieve the results you are seeking. Having people share their challenges with me, often during extremely vulnerable times in their life, is very humbling. You will be greeted with respect and acceptance in a safe and nonjudgmental space. I must warn you that I enjoy a good dose of humor as often as possible, though it will be reserved for appropriate times. I am a clinical social worker licensed in the states of Georgia and Florida. I have served in helping professions for more than a decade as a Secondary Teacher and Mental Health Therapist. I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education specializing in science and a Master of Social Work specializing in mental health. For the last 5 years I have been providing behavioral health services to CONUS and OCONUS Active-Duty Military members, their dependents and Retirees. During a typical week I provide counseling services for Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder, Increased Stress Reactions, Insomnia, Suicidality, PTSD, Life Goals, ADHD, Chronic Illnesses, Chronic Pain, Relationship issues, Grief, Compassion Fatigue, Addictions, Anger and more. My treatment approach is Client-Centered. You are unique and so are your circumstances therefore, placing your expectations and goals in the center of treatment is the way to go. We will utilize your strengths to create and master measurable goals that are the stepping-stones to your desired outcome. You will likely uncover strengths you had forgotten about or simply have not tapped into! Therapy should always have a desired outcome, measurable goals and be guided by evidenced-based therapies. Some people are looking for long-term psychotherapy and others are looking for short-term Solution-Focused treatment with quickly achievable goals or elimination of symptoms. During our time together we will explore which evidenced-based methods you prefer. Since 2013, I have concentrated on providing mental health services to adults though I sometimes work with teenagers and children. I have been privileged to work and serve with a myriad of leading professionals spanning across multiple disciplines in the Medical and Mental Health fields as well as CONUS and OCONUS Military Installations. These experiences have challenged me and led me to acquiring expertise in many areas to better serve my clients. I look forward to assisting you on this journey to a healthier and happier you!

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 Georgia 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.
