My name is Steve Reinoehl, a licensed counselor, hailing from Southeastern Pa. I have been married for 26 years, and live with my wife and daughter. I received a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Kutztown University in 2007, and have been practicing counseling for the past 10+ years, 6 years as a licensed therapist (LPC). I am a generalist, using a wide variety of counseling techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy, to name a few. I help individuals with a variety of mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I also work with families to help them improve relationships and solve relational problems. The words that best describe my counseling vocation are as follows: “I have been able to help even those individuals who suffer the most, experience positive change, and improve their lives.” Just as I help my family, I enjoy helping my clients. No problem is too hard for me. If you have a need, feel free to contact me, and I’ll be glad to help!

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 Pennsylvania 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.
