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.

I am licensed in Oklahoma with 35 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with life changes, & executive and professional coaching. I believe as a therapist it is important to be very interactive with my clients and offer an environment that is safe and conducive to sharing information openly. I regularly practice mindfulness meditation and encourage my clients to engage in said practice as part of our work together when possible. I have found it to be personally significant in my life and the practice has much to offer for all ages. In October 2024 I moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand in order to continue my training in mindfulness. I have been to Thailand many times and practiced my meditation skills in a variety of settings such as Buddhist monastery's and various workshop opportunities. I believe this environment gives me the time and skills to provide the best possible services to the clients that I serve

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.
