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 do not provide phone calls or video calls. What I do provide is text-only services. That means that a live text chat session is scheduled weekly for us to sit down and text together. I believe that human connection is the fundamental building block of therapy. Your comfort and providing a safe space for healing is my priority. I come from humble beginnings and have stayed close to those roots with my work in community mental health, mental health court, and residential addiction treatment. It is an honor and a privilege to do the work that I do. I have worked with diverse client needs, including addiction, anxiety, career concerns/aspirations, depression, relationships, and trauma. I have a primary therapeutic modality of Adlerian. We are social creatures so let’s connect and get you where you want to be! Therapy does not have to be all doom and gloom. It is about being comfortable getting uncomfortable but we will work through the uncomfortable together. If you have an emergency contact 911, 988 for the national crisis lifeline, or use the crisis text line by texting HOME to 741741.

Hello, my name is Haley Dixon (She/Her) and I'm a NCC certified LPC based in Oklahoma. I have a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Northeastern State University, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Oklahoma. Additionally, I am a public speaker and have given talks in multiple states on psychoeducation applied to media literacy, such as how psychology helps build better movies, video games, and more. As a therapist, I practice client-centered techniques that focus on affirmation and attainable goals. I have experience working with clients across a diverse range of populations, including gender/sexuality, women's issues, and young adults. I am especially passionate about serving the LGBTQIA+ community, and I have worked with many transgender and non-binary individuals on issues related to gender identity, transition, and mental health. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process, and I strive to learn about my clients' interests and goals so that I can help apply solutions that lead to real-life change that can be maintained beyond therapy. I'm dedicated to listening and understanding your needs, and I'm not interested in making a bunch of mini-me therapists through our sessions. Rather, I want to empower you with the tools and knowledge to advocate for yourself and achieve your goals. If you're looking for a therapist who is accepting, empathetic, and skilled in working with diverse populations, I would be honored to support you on your journey towards healing and growth. Don't hesitate to reach out to schedule a session or to ask any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you!

Imagine going to an amusement park and seeing all the joy and happiness around you but not being able to enjoy it yourself. You can smell the tantalizing smells and hear the contagious laughter. You long for the freedom to interact with those around you or at least be able to smile and mean it, yet there's something blocking that freedom. What is it? Is it depression? Is it severe anxiety? Is it overwhelming grief? Is it guilt and shame that hangs on you like an old worn out coat? Is it consuming fear that won't allow you to step into who you truly are and keeps you bound behind a frail representation of You. What can you do when your perception is woven with lies, fear, brokenness and pain? Is there a way to break free of your pain, fear, and beliefs that you are nothing more than your behaviors or nothing more than your brokenness? ABSOLUTELY! You have so much to offer and so much to give! It may be underneath some depression, or some anxiety, or some guilt and shame, or possibly some fear but I believe there is HOPE and there is FREEDOM for you! Some of us have went through tremendous pain, some have experienced immense trauma, and some just have feelings that seem to be uncontrollable and we may not even know why. I believe we are in this together and finding someone that we can open up to and relate to can be an incredible healing experience for both people. I use a faith based approach with those that are open to that form of therapy. If you prefer a different modality then I use cognitive behavioral therapy as an approach to counseling. I am very much looking forward to meeting you and beginning a counseling relationship where we can both grow and learn from each other.

How can therapists in Oklahoma support you?

Seeing a licensed provider can help you navigate mental health conditions and life circumstances through mindfulness and other specialized techniques.

Please note that BetterHelp does not offer diagnostic or medication management services.

Why are many residents in the state of Oklahoma working with a licensed counselor?

If you are experiencing a crisis or emergency, don't use this site's online services. If you are in life-threatening danger, call 911. If you require support for a crisis, reach out to the hotlines below:

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.
