Therapy can help you develop the coping strategies you need to manage many of life’s challenges. If you’re looking for a therapist, CO has many online treatment options.

An online therapy platform like BetterHelp can make therapy more flexible and convenient.

At BetterHelp, you can work with a psychologist, social worker, or marriage and family therapist from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you. Plus, you can change providers at any time for no fee until you find one with whom you can have a successful therapeutic relationship.

While BetterHelp does not offer group therapy at this time, the platform allows you to work through your unique challenges with your counselor one-on-one. Whether you need to improve your coping skills, learn to manage everyday stressors, or want to address repetitive behaviors, a BetterHelp provider can guide you through the healing process in a safe, therapeutic space.

20 years of experience

With 19 years of experience, my areas of interest include depression, anxiety, self-image, healing from trauma and abuse, divorce recovery, overcoming shame, life transitional issues, matters of loneliness, and empowering others to pursue their dreams and career aspirations. I earned my B.A. in Political Science at Montclair State University in New Jersey in 1994 and gained my Masters in Counseling at Denver Seminary in 2002. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado (#4201). My counseling approach usually incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques, Rogerian theories ("person-centered" counseling), and family systems methods. I am passionate about helping my clients feel understood in their time of suffering — with their feelings validated, their life story honored, and their weaknesses, mistakes, failures, longings, etc., accepted without a hint of judgment. While I think I have much to offer my clients, I am not a "know it all" therapist. I want to learn from those who have turned their pain and suffering into something beautiful. As a resident of Westcliffe, Colorado, I enjoy hiking, cycling, and exploring the beautiful landscapes of the American West. I have biked across the USA three times, the latest trip in 2017. I regularly make public presentations about my travel experiences and encourage others to live boldly and to pursue their dreams.

Hi, Welcome to my intro! My name is June. That you're reading this most likely means you feel your life could be better in some way, and you're looking for some help in making that happen. That takes some courage and initiative to take a positive step-- not just "settle."I'm a licensed professional counselor and a certified addiction counselor, based in Colorado. I also have experience and expertise working with issues of trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, important transitions in life, and relationship difficulties. Sometimes a person doesn't have a specific problem such as one of those, but just feels that life could be better in some way. She may be seeking better self-awareness. He may believe he has a purpose in life that he hasn't yet identified, and would like some help in getting insight into that. She may have come to believe "This job isn't right for me," but now would like some guidance in figuring out "So what is?" Also, this is a very different and troubling time for all of us. You may have lost your job due to a shutdown occurring out of your, or anyone else's, control. You, or someone you love, may have become seriously sick. You may feel anxious about what will happen --next week, or next month, or next year. I can help with all of that. If something from this profile sounds like what you'd like, I'd love to work with you.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Colorado

When searching for a therapist near me in Colorado, many people compare online therapy with traditional in-person care. Online therapy offers several potential advantages:

  • Greater accessibility: Attend sessions from anywhere with an internet connection

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
