I have worked with a wide variety of disorders as well as individuals who just need support through a difficult season of life. As you are seeking counseling, are you interested in functioning better with anxiety, depression, mood shifts, hurt, anger, and stress in your life? Do you have unresolved childhood or past adult experiences that affect you still today? Have you tried talking to counselors in the past without much improvement? Have you found talk therapy produced few results?? I take the approach of dealing with root ; not just the fruit to address issues. Do not be afraid nor discouraged; there is hope! Whether you experienced such things as a chaotic childhood, invalidating, abusive, toxic, manipulative relationships, and/or PTSD, there are ways to obtain closure. I find helping others with these challenges to be my passion! With research-proven treatment modalities we can process to develop skills and insight that will aid you in moving forward to healthier relationships and day to day life contentment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and trained play therapist with particular experience working with young adults, parents, and families. The ultimate professional goal of my work with my clients is to facilitate positive growth and healthy adjustment to all of life’s challenges. I hold certifications in DBT, SFBT, and am currently working to complete certification in EMDR. I am also trained in ACT and CBT, and I integrate techniques and skills associated with these modalities into person-centered therapy. The theory supporting person-centered methods aligns strongly with my beliefs about people. I believe that all people are deserving of true respect, and are worthy of acceptance without judgment, and I believe that within a therapeutic relationship based on these positive conditions, people can hone the skills necessary to achieve emotional health and become truly fully functioning.

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 South Carolina 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.
