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.

Welcome to my profile! I am glad you are here. My name is Dr. Patrick McCain. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Oklahoma. I have been in the field for 16yrs. I have experience in helping with a multitude of disorders. My experience underlies success with treating Anxiety/Depression, PTSD, Bi-Polar, and Personality Disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder, Children's Disorders such as Reactive Attachment Disorder, Oppositional Defiance, and Emotional Disturbances. I have learned to take a variety of approaches to help clients find healing, growth, and desired change. My person-centered approach maintains the utmost positive regard for you and your needs. My cognitive approach will help challenge and change depression or anxiety thinking. My training as a Trauma-Focused therapist will help in understanding symptomology, identify triggers, and reduce sensitivity to events that may be a reminder of past trauma. Substance abuse is another specialty. In treating substance use therapists need to be careful not to take a singleness approach. We all experience different believes and respond differently to addiction. Therefore, I use a variety of approaches that help clients maintain a life without the obsession of substances. I take pride in my journey to help others. The road is long but rewarding. If you are interested in facing the challenge of change than I will be dedicated to facilitating. I believe you will be the expert in the process. I will help you build on your strengths and work with you to find solutions in your time of stress. I will respect your decisions and maintain a non-judgmental attitude. Let me help you find your own solutions and way of coping with life struggles. I find the counseling process to be an exciting process. I will be enthusiastic to build a professional and counseling relationship. This process should not be taken lightly. It should be respected, as the decision to get counseling is not an easy one. If you are here and have chosen to start the journey of growth then congratulations! Please let me know if I can help.

Hello! My name is Carly and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oklahoma. I received a master's degree in counseling with a concentration in trauma, abuse and deprivation from Ottawa University. I have worked with individuals and families to help them overcome the impact of stressful or traumatic experiences. I believe that people deserve the chance to heal and move past negative experiences. I work from a trauma informed perspective to help empower people of all ages to be able to pursue their personal life goals. I work to help people understand how the brain and body work so that they are able to take more control over their lives and experiences, not just now, but also in the future. I like to combine empathy and logic when working with people. I view the role of a counselor to be a guide to help people through how to ask the right questions so that they are able to find the answers that they really need to get the outcomes that they really want. People are unique and the answer for each person will be different even when facing similar challenges. Counseling can be the process of going through a current challenge and learning how to face future challenges as well.

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.
