Therapists in Oshkosh, WI
While many of us associate counseling services with treating mental health conditions, therapy can actually be beneficial for so much more. A therapist offers support and tools for managing stress, coping with life issues, healing from past experiences, and can help you develop a greater sense of self-awareness.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Oshkosh, WI may offer more options than surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One reason for this is the wide range of evidence-based specialties available within the field of psychology. One person may be seeking a holistic approach, another wants solution focused therapy, while still another may be looking for a certified brainspotting therapist. What you personally want, or need may not necessarily be available nearby. There can be other barriers too…the office you want may not accept insurance plans or offer sliding scale fees, or they may not be currently accepting referrals for new patients. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a variety of mental health professionals that have expertise in a number of different areas, and with experience working with diverse populations. Fill out a simple online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the provider that best meets your individual needs. And although BetterHelp does not accept insurance, due to the lack of overhead costs many people find online therapy more affordable than in-person practice.
Online therapy can also be 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.
Whether you are looking to change your thoughts and behaviors, focus on self-care, seeking support to achieve professional goals or want to take control of your life, therapy can help. If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp or check out the list of local online-based therapists below to get started.

Welcome! Thank you for taking a minute to explore a bit about who I am. My name is Paul Deutsch and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 15 years. I recently received my Doctorate of Education in Counselor Education and Supervision from Viterbo University. I have been working in a community based rural setting for my career. I have been a member of clinical teams and have been working in a solo practice for the past 4 years. I have a broad base of clinical skills with an emphasis on complex challenges like personality disorders (and related concerns like self-harm), depression, anxiety and panic, LGBTQ stressors, family dynamics and the various forms of marital conflict. My theory of practice is based in a Humanistic approach. I could be seen as a Post-modern (Solution-Focused, Narrative) but also have strong ties to interventions related to Cognitive Behavioral Theory and Radical Acceptance. I am deeply connected to the metaphysical qualities and energy work associated with our mental process, both as it relates to our relationship with our intuition and our interactions with our external worlds. These skills connected with my understanding of neuroscience and brain functionality have supported my effective use of language to develop deep and supportive rapports with my clients. I spend my time off from counseling as a Personal Trainer and Strength and Conditioning coach and have extensive training in nutrition and physical wellbeing. I also love to ski and ride fat tire bike. An additional skill set is within Business Coaching and have helped many clients improve their work lives, keep jobs or change to better ones while supporting an improved sense of self. I look forward to having the opportunity to find ways that I can support your journey. The road is hard and living a life brings suffering but these days we don't have to do that alone. Be well, Paul

Hi, I’m Stephanie—and I’m genuinely glad you’re here. I know it takes courage to even start reading something like this, let alone consider talking to someone about the parts of life that feel heavy, messy, or overwhelming. Together we will work on learning new skills and ways to relate to your thoughts and feelings in different ways. So if you’re feeling anxious, stuck in perfectionism or people pleasing, trying to keep up with everything, or quietly losing touch with yourself—you’re not alone. These are exhausting patterns, and therapy can be a space where things begin to shift. My approach is grounded in authenticity, empathy, and compassion. I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can explore your story, reconnect with who you are, and move toward meaningful, lasting growth. Using practical, evidence-based tools—especially Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Positive Psychology—we’ll work together to ease symptoms like anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout, while building emotional flexibility and resilience. I have a particular passion for supporting women through perimenopause and menopause, helping them navigate mood changes, identity shifts, and the mental load with more balance and self-compassion. In my private practice (Living in Alignment), I specialize in helping women move from survival mode into a life of clarity, confidence, and purpose. That said, I welcome and enjoy working with all adults. Many men, especially those with active or high-performing lifestyles, find that my straightforward, holistic style helps them feel at ease and empowered in our work together. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, relationship stress, or the constant pressure to perform—therapy can help you reconnect with what matters and increase your level of fulfillment and vitality in your life. With over 15 years of experience in clinical and community settings, I bring a wellness-based, integrative lens to each session—supporting the whole person, mind and body. My goal is to help you feel grounded, aligned, and equipped to create real change. Outside of therapy, I enjoy running, spending time with my family, reading, learning, and appreciating the simple things. Health, mindfulness, and meaningful connection are central to my life—and I bring those values into the work I do. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again and build a life that reflects who you truly are, I’d be honored to support you.
