Therapists in Kennewick, WA
While many of us may seek therapy to treat mental health concerns, there are so many other ways therapy can be beneficial. Counseling services can offer support and tools to face life challenges, manage stress, process traumatic experiences, and learn self-compassion.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Kennewick, WA may offer more options than many surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One reason for this is that there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and techniques that may be more or less effective depending on the challenge being addressed as well as personal preference. What may be effective for issues related to eating disorders can be completely different from what works for treating marital conflict. What you want and need may not be available in your area. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers appointments with local licensed practitioners with a minimal master’s degree level in a variety of therapeutic approaches from dialectical behavioral therapy to solution based therapy. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your individual needs.
Online therapy can also be a solution for those who don’t feel comfortable in a clinical counseling setting. Video chat, phone, and text messaging options allow you to meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
During times of life transition or challenge, therapy can offer additional support and new skills to manage stress and cope with change. Even when life doesn’t feel overwhelming, mental health care can help you learn more about yourself and lead to a more fulfilling life.

Hello, my name is Marie. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Maine and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I attended Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon and graduated with my M.A. in Counseling in 2017. My approach to therapy is to adapt therapies that are best aligned to the specific needs of the client. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Person-centered Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I view counseling as a team effort where the client and counselor agree to work together to help you, the client, to recognize strengths, identify needs, understand conflicts, discover new options, set personal development goals, and make informed choices. It takes courage to seek counseling to work on personal issues. I believe that through counseling hope and healing can be experienced. I have personally benefited from counseling and would consider it an honor to assist you on your journey to hope and healing.

Hello! My name is Catherine Chapman. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Oklahoma. I earned my Masters of Social work from the University of Oklahoma in 2012. I have been a practicing social worker for 10 years and, additionally, am certified in EMDR therapy which I have been utilizing in my practice since 2021. I have experience working in the hospital and medical field to help patients and their families to find the support and resources they need to get through whatever difficult life situation they may be facing. I feel this experience has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges people may face throughout their lives and the various reactions they may have, whether it be anger, grief, depression, or something else, while processing their own health concerns or those of a loved one. I realize that everyone faces these struggles either in their own lives or through someone close to them and that they can be very difficult to comprehend and accept at times. My goal as a therapist is to help people overcome these situations by providing them a better understanding and tools to guide them through these hard times. My methods focus on using the Strength Based Perspective, Person-in-Environment Perspective, EMDR, and Solution Focused Therapy. I believe you are the expert in your own life and I hope to help you recognize the strengths in yourself while offering support and a non-judgmental sounding board.
