I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and forensic social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, severe mental illness and life transitions. I have also helped many people who have concerns around their sexual behaviors.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating others with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Minna Kokko. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
It was so much easier to find a good match this way. Interviewing therapists sucks. This was a much better process.
