Many of us associate counseling services with treatment of mental health disorders, or dealing with struggles such as sexual abuse or other trauma. However, the counseling journey can encompass so much more. A therapist can offer support and tools to cope with life transitions, identify and manage stress, find ways to build healthier relationships, and facilitate self-awareness. Therapy can be an effective treatment for PTSD and other challenges, but it can also promote well-being for almost anyone. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Kokomo, Indiana may offer more options than many surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One reason for this is that there are a number of therapeutic approaches, specializations, and techniques within the wider field of psychotherapy. What you need may not necessarily be available nearby. For example, if a family finds a family therapy center that is convenient, they may have a waiting list or may not be taking new patients. Or a person seeking CBT for a mood disorder may realize that the closest practitioner is too far away for them to get to on a weekly basis. That’s where online therapy can help. 

BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a wide variety of mental health professionals that specialize in a broad range of approaches, and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

BetterHelp is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options allow you to meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home. 

If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp to get started, or check out the list of Kokomo-based online therapists below for more information.

Hello and welcome! My name is Dana Teeter and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Indiana. I take a holistic approach to health and wellness, incorporating a variety of mind management techniques, as well as talk therapy, CBT, yoga, breath work, and other mind- body exercises to address mindset, negative thinking, intrusive thoughts, and coping with negative emotions. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and from a variety of backgrounds. I have over 10 years experience working with children and teens in the school environment as a counselor/ social worker. I have extensive experience providing services for students struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and childhood trauma, as well as children and adolescents struggling with areas of identity, self-esteem and self-worth, interpersonal skills and emotional regulation. In addition, I have spent the last 8 years working at home with my two sons, both of who have been diagnosed with ADHD. This has given me the unique perspective of working with students with ADHD as both a social worker, and as a parent. I also have experience writing IEPs, 504 plans, behavior intervention plans, and goals for students with ADHD and have spent time working with school professionals and families to implement these plans successfully. While most of my experience in the clinical field has been with children and adolescents, I have worked with families and adults as well. I also have a personal interest in mental health and wellness, and enjoy working with clients from various backgrounds to address what is weighing them down, assess their mental health and overall wellness needs, and develop a plan to improve their own ability to self-regulate emotions and better manage their mental health and wellness needs. I have experience using CBT, mindfulness, yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, breathing techniques, and a variety of other holistic approaches to managing negative thoughts and emotions. I am also Yogafit certified and recently earned my black belt in Taekwondo, as I have found these practices to be crucial to managing my own mental health and wellness. As a certified Revelation Wellness® instructor, I understand the importance of taking care of the mind, body and spirit when addressing health and wellness, and I want to educate others about the neuroplasticity of our brains and our bodies ability to heal themselves when giving a supportive, healing environment. I enjoy studying the mind, body, spirit connection and using education as a tool to empower my clients. I love meeting new people and learning from others; I believe we all have a story to share and have found my own healing as I have shared my story with others. I hope to create a safe environment for clients to share their own stories and struggles, as well as to learn more about their own mental health and set goals for future growth. I enjoy educating and empowering my clients to become an expert on their own mental health and look forward to collaborating with clients to help them find freedom to live their best lives.
