Seeking support from a therapist can help you overcome your mental health struggles. If you’re looking for a licensed therapist in New Hampshire, consider online treatment. While there may be independent practices of counseling associates or community mental health centers in some places, it can be challenging to find an available in-person appointment, and transportation can be an issue if you live in a rural area. An online platform like BetterHelp can make access to mental health care more flexible and convenient. 

BetterHelp provides treatment to individual adults from the comfort of their homes at a time that works for their busy schedules. This flexibility makes treatment more accessible, especially for young adults in college, busy professionals, and working parents. Many providers are available on the platform, including psychologists, social workers, and marriage and family therapists. Your provider will work with you to determine your unique goals and what treatment approach may work to help you meet them.

Although BetterHelp does not currently offer treatment for children, like play therapy, group therapy, or family counseling, providers are skilled in various treatment modalities, including commitment therapy, art therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. 

If you’re looking for an online therapist, NH has many telehealth services available. The list below features professionals who are licensed to provide online treatment across the state of New Hampshire.

"It's a good day to have a good day". This quote hangs in my office and serves as a reminder that you can take control of your day and how it is perceived. Today is a new beginning and an opportunity for change. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LCMHC) with several years of experience in treating a variety of mental health diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I have almost 10 years of experience working with adolescents and teenagers and have attended several evidence-based trainings specific to children's mental health. I also have extensive training in trauma work and cognitive-behavioral therapy. At this time, my work is focused on children 12+, adults, and couples. My approach to counseling is patient-driven. I believe that in order for counseling to be effective, my clients need to feel safe and have trust in our working relationship. Therapy isn't about being told what to do and using a "one size fits all" approach to happiness. It's about guiding you to discover what you need and working together to meet your goals. I'm here to listen to your needs and develop goals that we can work on together.

Hello my name is Angela. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 13 years experience working in social work. My areas of expertise include grief and loss, cognitive behavioral therapy working with individuals who suffer from PTSD, depression, addictions and anxiety. If you need help with finding peace, joy, and balance in a hard chaotic world... I can help you find the tools that may help you achieve this. I tend to focus on finding meaning using a variety of approaches depending on the unique individual and their specific need. I believe if your willing to get help by even looking at this page, this is a start and there is hope for you. I specialize in addictions, co-occurring disorders, grief/bereavement, anxiety, depression, spirituality, and general mental health. We all experience moments in our lives when it seems our ability to handle life on life's terms has surpassed our ability. I believe these experiences can either shut us down further, block us or can serve as a springboard for personal growth. Similar to when an irrigation system is filled with debris and the flow of water is blocked, by removing our blockages we access the unlimited resources and healing mechanisms that lie within ourselves.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 6 years of experience, specializing in trauma-informed therapy. My training in various therapeutic approaches allows me to offer a holistic perspective, helping people gain deeper insight into their feelings, behaviors, and the challenges they face. I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma, creating a safe and supportive environment where healing can take place without the risk of re-traumatization. My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their emotions, and their patterns of behavior. We all have learned ways of reacting to the world around us, and these patterns often operate beneath the surface, influencing how we interact with others and respond to stress. Together, we’ll explore these patterns and develop new tools to help you manage emotions and navigate life with more confidence and clarity. In our work together, you can expect a tailored therapy plan designed to address your unique needs and concerns. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, or identity issues, we’ll focus on healing while building resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth. I’ll support you in clarifying your goals, understanding your choices, and helping you communicate more authentically with yourself and others. You’ll also learn practical strategies to recognize and address unhealthy patterns as they arise, empowering you to make more informed, thoughtful decisions and create lasting change in your life. If you're ready to explore new insights and find healing from your past, I’d be honored to work with you on your journey.

Emergency services to contact in a crisis

If you are experiencing a crisis or emergency, don't use the BetterHelp site. If you are in life-threatening danger, call 911. If you require support for a crisis, reach out to the hotlines below:

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section 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.

When should I get a therapist in New Hampshire?

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 can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover the cost of 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 the safe option?

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.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
