Hi I'm so happy that you reached out for help. My name is Michele Roeder. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have 27 years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples in person-to-person office settings. This is my fourth year of working with people online and I'm looking forward to helping people, like you, who may not be able to go to an office during the pandemic or may prefer the convenience of telehealth. If you haven't already, please feel free to read more about my background, education, experience, and counseling approach by clicking on my name on this page. I generally check messages here once in the morning, once in the early afternoon, and once late afternoon MDT. I respond as quickly as I can, usually the same day that I see the message. Saturdays are challenging because I see clients in person all day. Please feel free to schedule an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Michele

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois and Idaho certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Thanatology (CT). I practice a client-centered strength-based approach, incorporating a focus on mindfulness to promote mental well-being and strength of Self. This approach encourages a collaborative therapeutic relationship to facilitate healing and growth. Through my work as a therapist, I am reminded daily of the resilient nature of the human spirit. From experiences with disappointment to unimaginable trauma, people find the courage to ask for help and to move forward. It is the greatest privilege to, for a time, join someone on their path to healing. My clients allow me to meet them with support when they struggle and to celebrate their joy when they persevere. I am acknowledging that tragedy happens every day, and so does triumph. Our days vary, but don’t we all know what it’s like to have a really bad day and also an amazing day? Therapy is an outlet. A seed of change. Know that no matter what intrudes into - or shatters - our assumptions of this imperfect world, we don’t have to be in it alone. There is nothing more encouraging than a conversation about the possibilities of the life a person can create. Allow yourself to make space for that conversation and for subsequent change. My clinical experience includes therapy with adolescents and adults, specializing in trauma, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, life transitions, and grief and loss. Informed by continuing education and experience in psychotherapy and counseling, I base my interventions on unique presented needs, providing supportive guidance toward identified goals.

Mental health is health. Taking care of your mental health is no different than taking care of your dental or physical health. Learning to manage your emotions and how to cope in a positive manner is just as important as taking good care of your body. When you feel ready to commit to working on your mental health I am here to provide a safe place to explore the barriers that are preventing you from living the life you truly want to live. I believe in whole-body wellness, and that healing comes from a place of both acceptance, and the willingness and openness to change. It takes courage to ask for help and support, and I want you to know that you don't need to do the hard work alone. Together, we can take those steps towards actively healing those emotional wounds, removing those internal barriers, and building up your confidence to ultimately reach your personal goals.

I believe every person is created for connection; I have a deeply rooted belief that healing takes place in the framework of relationships. My counseling services seek to meet a full range of needs, including but not limited to: depression and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, life transitions & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I am most passionate about working with women and adolescents. My approach to counseling is built on a foundation that is Person-Centered. I take an integrative approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic models. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Based interventions, with support from Motivational Interviewing to help clients achieve their goals in counseling. Building awareness of our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors can open the door to practicing new ways of being that allows us to have a stronger relationship with ourselves and with others, while cultivating greater internal peace. I love to support clients in this journey by helping clients identify unhealthy messages and behaviors they may have internalized through cultural and family dynamics. Taking the first step to seek support can take courage; I look forward to walking alongside you in the process of growth and healing.

I genuinely believe my clients are the experts on their own life and working together, we'll build an individual treatment plan that includes a tailored approach, timetable, and clear objectives. I believe everyone can benefit from talking with a counselor and want everyone to have access to quality and timely services. If you're ready to make some changes in your life, I'd love to help you on your journey. Please note I am generally available Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30-3 MDT for these appointments.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some commonly asked questions can be found below.

How much does a therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

How do I know if I should get a therapist?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Idaho can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover therapy?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Is online therapy safe?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
