Many of us may understand the importance of therapy in treating mental health concerns, but fewer realize that mental health care can be beneficial for almost anyone dealing with the challenges inherent in everyday life. A therapist can offer tools to facilitate the healing process in family conflict, manage stress, and support personal growth. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Bossier City, LA may offer more options than surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. Within the mental health field, there are a variety of therapeutic approaches and counseling styles. A national certified counselor can not only specialize in a certain approach, but they may have experience in working with different age groups. What you want or need may not necessarily be available nearby, or they may not be taking new patients. That’s where online therapy can help. 

BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a variety of online mental health professionals with experience in a wide range of specialties, from play therapy for processing trauma, to a holistic approach for treating mood disorders. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your personal needs. And because a strong therapeutic relationship can be necessary for proper motivational interviewing and interventions, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy can be a convenient solution for busy professionals, overscheduled parents, and even swamped students from nearby Louisiana Tech University. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and video chat, phone, and text messaging options allow you to meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. 

If you live in the Bossier City area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp or check out the list of local online-based therapists to get started. Click on any profile to get more information about their licensure, training, and experience, as well as to read reviews from clients who have already benefited from online therapy.

Welcome! My name is Annetta Starr. I have a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of Louisiana at Monroe. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana. I have worked in the counseling field since 2015 helping clients find success with managing their needs. Some clients need help with anxiety and others need help with addictions. We all have needs. I believe that we each have a responsibility to ourselves to make sure that our basic needs are met, because when we do, we find ourselves functioning at our best and living more fully. My counseling approach is more humanistic/client centered, as I believe that we as individuals already possess the qualities that we need to live fully. I encourage and utilize curiosity, intuition, creativity, humility, and empathy in individualized therapy sessions to help clients close the gap between where they are right now and where they want to be in the future. If you choose to make a commitment to work on meeting your needs, I will commit myself to helping you. I will not give up on you. Taking personal responsibility for ourselves is the first indication that clients have the strength and control to make any changes necessary to live life with fullness. Let’s work together to evaluate what you are doing, thinking, and feeling, and develop plans to help you make choices that will help you meet your needs and have success at getting what you want.
