When it comes to finding a therapist, Lincoln NE may seem like a good bet. But counseling services aren’t always easy to find, even in big cities. When it comes to persistent mental illness and other challenges, there are a number of evidence-based therapies that can be effective, but what works for one condition may not work as effectively for another. The therapy that you need may not be available in your area. It’s also important that you feel safe and comfortable with your therapist, if you aren’t open with them then therapy may not be as effective. 

With online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp, the right help can be available no matter where you live. BetterHelp offers over 30,000 mental health care professionals, from licensed therapists to licensed alcohol and drug counselors. These professionals provide therapy for many challenges including mood disorders, gender identity concerns, adults struggling with addiction, and domestic violence. Simply fill out an online questionnaire to get matched with the therapist who is best suited to your needs. And because therapeutic alliance is so important to the process, if for any reason you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 
Online therapy can be a convenient option, too. Online sessions can easily fit into any busy 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 are seeking therapy for any reason, whether to overcome obstacles, process past trauma, learn more about stress management, or simply to take a more holistic approach to your health, then BetterHelp can help you take that first step on your mental health care journey.

I care deeply about people. I believe we all need a space that is just for us to talk about the things that go on inside our heads. I was put on this Earth to help people and to untangle their thoughts. Maybe I can help you? I know asking for help and seeking counseling can be scary and I am here to help you through that so we can talk about why you are really here. The BetterHelp platform takes away some of that fear by allowing you the safety of your phone/tablet/computer screen. It’s a wonderful first step! I have experience working with drug/alcohol issues, depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, co-dependency, major mental health (although, BetterHelp may not always be the best platform for that), trauma, grief, and autism. I am an independent licensed mental health practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska. I am also a national certified counselor (NCC), which requires me to hold a high standard of ethics in my field. I am also a registered play therapist, which through my studies and experience has taught me about child development and attachment which can be helpful in many scenarios. It has also taught me how to have joy in my own life and play. My counseling style is non-judgmental, affirming, and warm. I’ve worked with many different kinds of people and they’ve all had amazing stories to share. I am a good listener and I am a problem-solver by nature. I genuinely care about people because we are all on this Earth together, so we should be able to help each other be successful. I can’t wait to get started in helping you find hope, joy, and balance in your life. Everyone struggles from time to time and I am so happy you have come here for help. You are so brave.
