Mental health services are often recognized as an effective treatment for mental health disorders (previously called mental illness), but therapy can be beneficial for almost anybody. Therapy can offer tools to meet life’s challenges, manage stress, and create a more fulfilling life. A therapist can also be an emotional support for both your struggles and moments of triumph. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Cedar Park, TX 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 in the mental health field, counseling and psychiatric services can be highly specialized. There are many evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are more or less effective depending on the challenges being addressed, as well as personal preference. Family counseling can be effective for family conflict, but may not be the right match for someone seeking treatment for a personality disorder. You may be looking for individual therapy, and the closes clinic offers group counseling. There are so many options that what you need may not be available nearby. This is where online therapy can help.

BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to experienced therapists who offer counseling services across a broad range of specialties 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 personal needs. And because strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for busy professionals, over-scheduled parents, and even swamped students at local Lake Forest College. 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. 

If you live in the Cedar Park area and have been thinking about focusing on your well-being, therapy can help. Contact BetterHelp to get started, or check out the list of local online-based therapists below.

My name is Karen Medlock. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Texas and Louisiana. I have two Masters' Degrees, one in Social Work and one in Theology. I take a holistic approach with my clients. I have worked with all age groups, from three years old all the way in the eighties. Yes, I have been around awhile. I have teaching certifications in Michigan and taught Kindergarten through twelfth grade. The experiences I had as a teacher were tremendous and very helpful in my therapeutic relationships with adolescents and teenagers. I enjoy working with all age groups and totally enjoy diversity in culture, race and sexual orientation. I ran and did sexual offender treatment with male adult offenders at Norton Correctional Center in Norton, Kansas, which gave me a great magnitude of skills in addiction treatment, running groups and providing psycho-social classes in multitudes of topics. I would have to say working with inmates in state prisons is very rewarding for me because I can now view them as people with problems from the past that have never been dealt with for the most part. Also, I have much experience in helping people work through trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, including the severe panic attacks that occur. I have worked extensively with grief and loss. I am very excited to be a part of Better Help because it is a way for people who need help to access me at various times via text, phone or video. It is a good medium for all those who are a bit shy to meet in person (or aren't ready) or have tight schedules. I am very excited to work with you! I am quite a laid-back therapist, and always respond to where you are in your life-path. We all are on personal life journeys...let's use this time to explore and traverse new worlds and paths! I will help you develop your strengths and accompany you on your journey.
