I have a Doctorate Degree in Counseling and 36 years of professional experience as a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor in Arkansas. I was a graduate school professor of Counseling for 11years before beginning my private practice. After resigning my academic position, I provided individual, marital, and family counseling in a private practice setting for 36 years to clients (children through adults) with a wide variety of clinical issues. I believe people enter counseling seeking change, and that rapid change is possible as people already possess many of the resources needed for change. Client resources blossom quickly in a therapeutic relationship that is safe, warm, interactive, and facilitates hope. In counseling, I seek to facilitate a corrective emotional experience where a client relives a past, often painful emotional situational in the present, but with my providing a healthier, affirming response, effectively “correcting” the original traumatic experience and allowing for new, healing emotional patterns to form. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I look forward to joining you on your therapeutic journey.

Find a therapist near you in Rudy, Arkansas

Finding a therapist near you in Rudy, Arkansas starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Arkansas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Arkansas, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Arkansas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Arkansas

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
