Therapy can be an effective way to support your wellness goals in a number of ways. Therapists offer support and tools to manage life struggles, address low self-esteem, manage overwhelming stress, and find peace and fulfillment in life. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Cedar Hill, TX may offer more options than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be more complicated than simply making an appointment today at the nearest in-network practice. One reason for this is that within psychotherapy there are a lot of evidence-based approaches and techniques. If you’re looking for CBT for a mood disorder, the collaborative team that specializes in substance use disorders down the street may not be the right fit. Even if you find the provider you want, they may have a waiting list, or aren’t taking new patients. This is where telehealth services can help. 

BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a wide range of mental health professionals that specialize in a broad range of therapeutic approaches and techniques, and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be key to your commitment to therapy, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy is also a convenient solution for many 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 have been thinking about therapy for any reason and feel ready to take a step today, contact BetterHelp to get started. Or you can check out the list of Cedar Hill online-based professionals below to get more information.

I am licensed in Texas with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. My clients are often those who have experienced childhood trauma, those whose anxiety hinders their ability to engage with the world and form friendships, individuals grieving the loss of loved ones or other significant losses, those who struggle with self-doubt and feelings of impostor syndrome, and individuals who feel overwhelmed by sadness or depression to the point where it affects their daily functioning. I specialize in working with adults who are ready to make significant changes in their lives but are unsure where to begin. These individuals often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about taking the necessary steps toward transformation. They understand that meaningful change requires time and effort, and they are committed to investing in their mental health journey to achieve their goals. Through years of working with a diverse range of clients, I've come to appreciate the uniqueness each person brings to therapy. Central to my practice is the belief that you, as the client, are the expert on your own experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Therefore, I employ an eclectic therapeutic approach that respects individual differences, allowing me to tailor treatment specifically to your needs. This includes drawing from various techniques and methods, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to ensure our sessions are effective and meaningful for you. My foundation is person-centered, emphasizing active listening and insightful questioning to deepen my understanding of your experiences. Between sessions, I provide practical tools to support your progress.
