Working with a therapist can help you gain insight into your thoughts and behavior and learn to meet the challenges in your own life. Whether you live in a small town or a major city like Tulsa or Oklahoma City, OK, finding in-person treatment in the state can be challenging. Barriers, like transportation issues or a lack of available in-network providers, can complicate the search for mental health care, but an online therapy platform like BetterHelp can make access to treatment more flexible and accessible.

BetterHelp therapists offer support for those experiencing a variety of challenges, such as low self-esteem, difficult relationships, family issues, or low self-worth. While BetterHelp does not provide group therapy at this time, the providers on the platform have extensive experience working with individual adults and will work with you to find an approach to treatment that can help you successfully meet your goals.

If you’re looking for an online therapist, OK has many options. The therapists in the list below are licensed to provide teletherapy across the state and can help you learn to manage the challenges in your daily life.

Hi! My name is Ashleigh. I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor. I hold licenses in the states of Ohio, Idaho, Nebraska, and Washington. I have several non-US state clients as well. I have over 18 years experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families. I have worked in private practice, crisis center, hospital and school settings. I have the most counseling experience in the areas of: depression, anxiety, couples therapy, LGBTQIA+, grief/loss, eating disorders/dysmorphia, family therapy and stress management. My style of counseling is diverse. I realize therapy is not "one size fits all" so I like to partner with my clients to use methods grounded in cognitive-behavioral, client centered, and solution-focused theories. I believe in providing a safe environment as a way to encourage open communication. I will use techniques and support to empower my clients to help themselves feel better, find hope, and reach goals.  Here is some personal information about me: I have been married for 18 years and  we have 2 children. I was born and raised in small town Ohio, but our family recently moved to SW Florida for my husband's career. I wanted to become a counselor after the positive experience I had in counseling during my college career. My counselor helped me overcome my anxiety and improve my health and refocus.  Today I cope with stress through exercise, going to the beach, long showers, and talking openly with my spouse and closest friends. Even before Covid-19, I left my in-person practice and decided to enter the world of online counseling. I think it is a great option for those with busy schedules, lack of transportation, a transient life-style, no babysitting, or those who feel more comfortable emailing, texting, or chatting virtually. I would be honored to help you establish and reach your goals to create a healthier you!  Contact me today so we can get started!

Welcome. I hope you find insight here! As a licensed psychotherapist & clinical supervisor, I value a holistic understanding of integrative medicine. With more than 15 years of clinical experience, this approach relies heavily on evidence-based technique, research and specialized training. With gratitude, I invite you to explore details of my treatment approach & scope of practice. If you prefer direct commentary from clients, please skip to my reviews! Reviews are 100% voluntary as feedback is essential to my approach. With a board certification in clinical supervision, I prioritize a pursuit of lifelong education & research. I believe transparency & accountability are essential for long term growth. My passion for counseling psychology, intertwined with a formalized education have been necessary to develop the awareness needed as a skilled therapist. Clinical intuition & self-discovery through experience have naturally resulted in what I believe to be my own fundamental purpose as a healer. In addition, my devotion to motherhood, commitment to faith and my belief in the power of recovery-have combined to enhanced an already strong intuition. I believe this outcome is my divine purpose. I am grateful & overjoyed to have celebrated ten years of sobriety the past November of 2024. I believe my own recovery improves my ability to help those suffering in active addiction. My personal experience is vital as I help clients locate their chosen path to healing. Most clients naturally gravitate to my intentional transparency. Helping clients focus on their own self-discovery is a journey of partnership that involves a gentle balance of grace and respect. As a practitioner, I prefer my individual experience be separate and secondary to client needs. More than 15 years ago, I discovered my dream to formalize leadership of therapists through licensure. This intensified my own love & commitment to the field of counseling psychology. I am honored to mentor clinicians through my role as a clinical supervisor, as they practice therapy with my license while they finalize licensure certification. My partnership with Betterhelp allows me to use a collaborative approach as an independent practitioner. I contract with more than one organization, allowing variety and flexibility. I choose to have small caseloads which allows me the ability to commit to individual needs & the well-being of each client I have pre-selected. This is a process I am able to customize and ensure therapeutic trust. Most notable feedback from former clients: I am attentive, nurturing, flexible, knowledgeable and direct in my communication. I find that my ability to provide authenticity is fundamental to my identity as a human being, just as transparency underlies all healthy attachment in relationships. My theoretical style has evolved over many years of formal practice & training. I continue to seek most proficient training available, and hold special skill using these techniques: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness & Internal Family Systems. Solution-focused CBT, TF-CBT. Only trauma-informed skills are used as I continue to absorb all opportunities to embrace current understanding in trauma-specific techniques. With specialized understanding in trauma recovery, I believe that we all have the ability to heal. Only you hold the power to transform your life. This directly requires accountability, openness and honesty. Responsibility for your healing is fundamental to this process. My role in this partnership is equal to the value of client effort! I provide support, validation and accountability, just as I enforce and practice boundaries. All of these fundamentals-when used appropriately, provide the groundwork BEST for healing. My faith adds a necessary layer of unique impartiality to my role. This detail is important to acknowledge as my spiritual beliefs overlap with a special awareness that I believe transcends the collective, mind, body and soul. Using a structure of standard practice with most appropriate evidence-based techniques, only licensed psychotherapists possess the exclusive legal responsibility and ethical liability to provide safe, legitimate mental healthcare. Verifiable benefit is statistically shown in treatment with a licensed practitioner. My ultimate priority as a licensed psychotherapist is to provide the emotional safety that ensures healing. I am verified by Psychology Today, a member of the National Counseling Association & several others. I believe that NO obstacle is superior against the profound strength of human connection & willpower! An OPEN heart should always be the ONLY requirement for treatment. Thank you for the time you've chosen to spend with my words. I hope you've found insight in details shared here. Please feel free to join my wait list today!

I have dedicated 10+ years of study in the field of psychological counseling, and I'm actively improving by using the latest and most effective and up-to-date evidence-based methods to provide sufficient services for all kinds of mental health needs. I have a strong motivation to work with and help people of all backgrounds develop coping skills for all types of issues.

As I've worked over the years using interventions such as CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Centered Person, I've fostered ways of improving the lives of people who experience depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), PTSD, and suicidal feelings.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Virginia. I have over 30 years of experience working with clients presenting with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD and adjustment problems. I am certified as a telemental health provider.and also as a clinical trauma professional. My intake process involves a thorough assessment of needs and strengths, usually from a Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach. I strive to help clients to clearly identify the problems that brought them to therapy and the challenges they are facing, and then to collaborate with them to formulate specific, measurable goals to address the identified problems and challenges and find effective solutions. I have extensive experience working with both individuals and couples and enjoy working with clients of various ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. Before moving to North Carolina in 2019 I worked primarily with active duty or retired military members, their spouses, significant others or family members through the Department of the Navy's Fleet and Family Support program. Military families experience problems arising from frequent moves, extended family separations due to deployments or other assignments, and the anxiety and fear family members feel when the service member is in a dangerous situation or when regular communication is not possible. In addition I assisted clients who had experienced domestic violence or childhood abuse or neglect. I also have extensive experience working with parents to improve communication with their children, learn and apply more effective discipline techniques, and develop helpful behavior management practices. I am also well qualified and experienced in providing clinical services from a Christian perspective for clients who prefer a faith based therapy approach. My approach to therapy is individualized and focused on the unique strengths and challenges of each client. My therapeutic style is engaging and collaborative exploring with each client the strengths he or she already has to find solutions. I draw on tools and perspectives from several approaches including Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I know that it takes courage to reach out for help. I would be honored to assist you as you address the concerns that are motivating you to seek counseling services. I believe that together we can find solutions.

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 Oklahoma 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.
