Many of us can benefit from mental health services at some point in our lives. From working parents to graduate students, we all experience stress and change that can get overwhelming at times. When it comes to finding a therapist, Pueblo, CO may offer a greater variety of choice than surrounding rural areas, but finding counseling services isn’t always easy even in more populated areas.
One reason for this is that in the field of psychotherapy there are a number of evidence-based approaches and techniques. Which will be most effective can depend on the treatment plan, the challenge itself, and the preferences of the individual. While a nearby clinic may offer counseling services, they may specialize in play therapy which is not necessarily effective for eating disorders or substance misuse. Like traditional medicine, psychology has many specializations, and it can be essential to find a therapist with experience in treating your population.
That’s where online therapy can help. With online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp you get access to over 30,000 mental health professionals who have expertise in a variety of specialties, and experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire, and BetterHelp will match you with a therapist that meets your individual needs. And because therapeutic alliance can be so key to success, if you need to change therapists, you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy with BetterHelp can also be a solution for those who don’t have the time or bandwidth to attend in-person sessions. Online sessions fit easily into any busy schedule. And for those who are concerned about finding a safe and non-judgmental space, video chat, and text messaging options allow you to talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. Although not covered by insurance, for many people, therapy costs can be more affordable through BetterHelp, due to lack of office overhead cost.
If you are part of the Pueblo community and have been thinking about therapy for any reason--to process past experiences, heal the breach with a family member, or gain the tools necessary to manage the stress of daily life, reach out to BetterHelp for a simple way to get started on your wellness journey.

I utilize an eclectic approach with clients, though tend to draw primarily from a humanistic, person-centered approach. This dynamic in a therapeutic relationship means I attempt to “meet each client where they are.” This serves as a catalyst, allowing each individual to progress through their unique process of self-discovery. I also utilize principles from leading psychological modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. My role as a therapist is not to give you advice or change you. Rather, it is to be an understanding, empathic, and non-judgmental support to help guide you to your own choices, AT YOUR OWN PACE. Together, we can establish goals for therapy, and while I can help you gain insight, I will never push an agenda or risk rupturing our therapeutic relationship.

Christine Sibilla
Are you someone who struggles with self image concerns and wants to have a positive relationship with their body? Have you found yourself struggling with symptoms of worry, anxiety or depression? Do you want to start becoming active, both for physical and mental health, but don’t know where to start? I specialize in helping those with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, poor body image, healthy eating, and anxieties surrounding self-esteem and healthy self image. Taking a step forward to improve overall mental and physical well-being can be overwhelming. Our inner worlds can feel disconnected as our bodies often influence what we do and how we feel. Certain physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. As a provisionally licensed counselor and NASM certified personal trainer, I aim to increase quality of life by adding physical activity in session, alongside mental health counseling, to help you feel connected again. Doing this alone can be confusing and stressful, but by working together, we will realize your strength, and move to complete your picture of health.
