Many of us can benefit from mental health counseling at one point or another. Whether dealing with family conflict, learning new coping skills for behavioral issues, or focusing on personal growth, therapy can offer tools and strategies to both treat challenges and empower the individual. When it comes to finding a therapist, Palm Bay, FL may offer more options than many surrounding rural and suburban areas. However, finding the right therapist can often be complicated, even in a more populated area. 

One of the challenges 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 challenge being treated, and the preferences of the individual. What you want may not necessarily be available nearby. Someone experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder may do well working with a therapist that practices cognitive processing therapy…but a CPT therapist may not be available at any nearby clinics. Another may wish to try narrative therapy for their self-esteem issues, but the closest practitioner isn’t taking new patients. 

Online therapy can be the solution to finding the therapist you need. With an online platform like BetterHelp you get access to over 30,000 mental health professionals, who specialize in a variety of approaches, and have experience working with diverse populations. So, whether you’re looking for dialectical behavioral therapy to process sexual trauma or domestic violence, or are interested in exploring positive psychology for self-actualization, you can find your match. Simply fill out an online questionnaire, and BetterHelp will connect you with a therapist that meets you individual needs. 

Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for busy professionals, parents, or students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, or text messaging options, you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. 

If you live in the Palm Bay area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, from suicide prevention to stress management, there is no better time to reach out. Contact BetterHelp for a simple way to get started on your mental wellness journey.
