Living with the stress of day-to-day life, and dealing with difficult transitions, many of us can use the support of therapy at one point or another. When it comes to finding a therapist, Miramar FL, with its convenient location in the greater Miami metropolitan area may be a better place to look than most. But even in a highly populated city, finding the right therapist for you may not be so easy. 

When it comes to psychotherapy, there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches available, and they don’t all work the same way. If you’re feeling anxious due to unprocessed trauma, but the nearby group practice specializes in family counseling, it’s not going to necessarily be the best match. What you need may not be available close by. Not to mention that it may be difficult to find a licensed psychotherapist in your area that’s taking new patients. 

That’s where online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp can be of service. BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 mental health professionals such as psychologists, social workers, and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC). These providers specialize in a variety of different areas, and have experience working with diverse populations. By filling out an online questionnaire, BetterHelp will connect you with a therapist who meets your individual needs. And because therapeutic alliance can be so essential to the success of the therapeutic process, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy with a licensed professional counselor from BetterHelp can be a convenient option, as well. Many busy professionals, students, and parents find that online sessions can fit into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. 

If you live in Miramar, in the surrounding Fort Lauderdale or Pembroke Pines area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, there’s no better time to get started. Whether you’re dealing with a difficult life transition, want to learn stress management skills, or are interested in seeking personal growth, contact BetterHelp to get started on your wellness journey.
