Therapists in Huntington Beach, CA
Huntington Beach, CA, also known as “Surf City,” is a mid-size beachside city with beautiful weather, surfing waves, and the beach culture that goes along with them. While a laid-back popular tourist destination doesn’t seem like a stressful place to be, people can be affected by mental health challenges in any environment.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Huntington Beach, CA may be a better place than most, but even in a thriving city it’s not always easy to find the right therapist. The therapeutic process requires more than just getting a free consultation at the nearest clinic. Specific concerns may require certain types of therapy to be successfully treated, and the therapy you need may not be nearby.
Online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp offers a wide variety of choices. BetterHelp has access to over 30,000 mental health providers who offer professional help for everything from treating mood disorders to offering guidance on building a more fulfilling life. So, whether you need a CBT practitioner, a substance use counselor, or a marriage/family therapist, simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you to the therapist who best meets your needs. And because having a good rapport with your therapist can make all the difference in your success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
For many, online sessions are also a convenient option. Online sessions can fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can talk to your therapist in a safe, non-judgmental environment…your own home. Some people may not be ready to walk into an office environment to open up, and for those people online therapy can be a solution for getting the help they need while still feeling secure.
If you’re in the Orange County or Newport Beach area and have been looking to start therapy, consider reaching out to BetterHelp. Therapy can help to resolve challenges, teach you to communicate more effectively with friends and family members, increase well-being and just help you to build a more fulfilling life in general.

8 years offering treatment
I am a family and marriage therapist licensed in California with over 8 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and substance abuse issues. I also helped those who have experienced sexual issues and physical trauma or emotional abuse, and those in need of Christian-focused counseling. I have also worked with residential and outpatient clients. My counseling style is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental. I believe that the client is the expert on themselves and therefore won't tell someone what they should do. My approach is primarily solution-focused. Together as a team we will create goals. Not everything works with everyone so it is important to state what you like and don't like in order to create a treatment plan to meet your needs. I want to congratulate you on taking the step to change in order to reach your goals of becoming happier and more free. I look forward to being able to support and empower you on this journey.
