For many of us, the stress of life can sometimes get overwhelming and support from a therapist can help. When it comes to finding a therapist, Olathe, KS can offer a greater variety of choice than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist for your needs can be complicated even in a city. 

There are a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches in psychology, and how effective they are can depend on the mental health challenge they’re addressing, as well as the preferences of the individual. A therapist with specialized training in anxiety disorders may not be the best match for someone who is seeking help for family conflict. The type of therapist that you need may not necessarily be accessible or available in your area. 

This is where online therapy can help. With an online platform like BetterHelp, you get a wider variety of choices. BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 mental health professionals with expertise in a number of specialties from commitment therapy to EMDR. By filling out an online questionnaire BetterHelp will match you to a licensed professional counselor that meets your individual needs. And because solid rapport and comfort with your therapist can be essential to the success of the therapeutic process, if you need to change therapists at any time you can do so at no additional cost. 

In addition, many people don’t have the time, ability, or bandwidth to attend in-person therapy. Online sessions with BetterHelp are easily fit into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can talk with your therapist from the comfort of your home or office. 

Therapy can be beneficial for any number of purposes. Whether you’re searching for clarity in a current struggle, seeking to learn skills for stress management, want to focus on self-compassion, or explore healing from life experiences, a therapist can help you. For those living in the Overland Park area or Olathe find a0 therapist through BetterHelp to make it simple and easy to get started on the healing and wellness journey.
