Therapists in Daytona Beach, FL
Many of us associate counseling services with the treatment of severe mental illness, but don’t always realize that therapy can be beneficial for so much more. Therapists have been treating clients for decades offering tools and support for stress management, life transition, and personal growth.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Daytona Beach, FL may offer more options than many surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be more complicated than simply reaching out to the nearest practice. This is because within the wider field of psychotherapy, there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches that can be highly personalized. You may be interested in a holistic approach, but the registered mental health counselor in your neighborhood doesn’t offer this. Or you’re looking for a therapist who has experience working with the BIPOC community, but there aren’t any providers like this in your area. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a variety of local providers from mental health counselor interns to social workers, to psychologists. These therapists have expertise across a broad range of therapeutic approaches and experience working with diverse populations. Fill out a simple online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your individual needs. And because feeling that you are working in a non judgemental environment can be key to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy can also be a solution for busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
If you live in Daytona Beach, or in the Ormond Beach or Holly Hill areas and have a passion for self-discovery, there is no better time to get started with therapy. Contact BetterHelp or check out the list of local online-based providers below to get more information.
