Therapists in Johnson City, TN
While many of us associate therapy with the treatment of mental health conditions, there is so much more that therapy can be beneficial for. A therapist can offer tools to help you gain insight, manage stress, tackle self-esteem issues, promote personal growth, and in general live a more fulfilling life.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Johnson City, TN 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 within the wider field of psychology there are a number of evidence-based practices and approaches that can be more or less effective depending on the challenges being addressed. You may be an adult seeking CBT, but the nearest clinic provides art therapy geared toward young adults. Or a nearby practice may offer CBT but is not taking new patients, or has a waiting list. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to local online-based professionals that provide counseling across a broad range of therapeutic specialties and techniques, from processing trauma from past experiences to exploring self-discovery to build a fulfilling life. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs.
BetterHelp can also be a convenient solution for busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
If you live in Johnson City or any other nearby cities and have been thinking about getting a little help from therapy for any reason, there is no better time to get started focusing on your well-being.

Hello, and welcome to BetterHelp! You are here to find some assistance with something that is going on in your life. I’d like to help you! Let me tell you a little about myself. I earned my master’s in social work at the University of Montana in 2013, where I focused on co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Since then, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of settings. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee and Alabama. My work as a therapist is guided by the humanist theory that people can heal and grow if they have assistance that is genuine, empathetic, and accepting. I believe that when we accept ourselves exactly as we are, then we can find the strength to change behaviors that are not serving us. I specialize in working with people who have substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal conflict issues. The approaches I use include dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, attachment theory, and family systems theory. I commend you for taking this step and exploring options for getting some help with whatever you are going through. I would be honored to work with you.
