Finding a therapist in Idaho can feel more manageable when care fits the realities of life in ID. In a largely rural state, long drives, fewer local openings, and busy schedules can make in-person support harder to start or continue. Whether someone is looking for therapists in Idaho from Boise, Meridian, Idaho Falls, or a smaller community, online therapy can bring licensed support closer to home. For people facing anxiety, depression, or a major life change, BetterHelp offers connections to more than 30,000 qualified providers worldwide, helping expand options when local choices feel limited.

For those exploring Idaho therapists online, BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans, and eligible individuals' average copay is $23 per session. Insurance may not be available in every case, and subscription pricing is typically $70 to $100 per week*. In Idaho, online care can reduce common barriers by making it easier to meet with a licensed therapist from home while still finding support that fits personal goals. Many people are matched in as little as 24 to 48 hours, which can make starting therapy feel like a more reachable next step.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho, as well as Nationally Certified Counselor, and I also hold the Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies. I have been a counselor for 12 years in different settings, such as community agencies of different kind, as well as my own practice. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an adult educator and worked for colleges and business schools. As an educator, I was passionate about motivating each student to find an individual “life’s path” and to use education as a tool. As a counselor, I am passionate about my clients learning about themselves through the discovery of individual strengths and unique abilities to take on the life’s journey. In each session, I strive to encourage my clients to find something about themselves they haven’t noticed before. Depending on my clients’ needs, I use many techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused and many others, but educate on these techniques in the process to help my clients “become their own counselors” and build their own “arsenal” of tools. My counseling style is fluid – I meet my clients “where they are”; at the same time, I have been told by my clients that each session with me gave them different perspective and empowered them to approach life’s problems with unexpected solutions! I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Idaho who believes that meaningful therapy begins with feeling heard, understood, and respected. After relocating from Missoula, Montana, to Coeur d’Alene, I’m proud to call North Idaho home and to continue serving individuals and couples in our community. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Montana in 2019 and my Master of Social Work from the University of Louisiana in 2020. I bring more than five years of clinical experience supporting young adults and adults through trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, substance use, and mental health concerns. Substance use treatment continues to hold a special place in my heart. I spent seven years with Western Montana Mental Health, supporting women and families from across Montana as they navigated recovery, parenting, trauma, and significant life changes. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and person-centered. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you—not to tell you who you should be or how you should live. Together, we can identify what is getting in the way of the life and relationships you want and develop practical tools to help you move forward. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) and have completed multiple suicide prevention trainings. I also have experience utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches. I work with young adults, adults, and couples, with a focus on trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, interpersonal relationships, couples and relationship therapy, substance use, life transitions, and emotional and mental health challenges. Whether you are working through something from your past, struggling in a relationship, navigating recovery, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I would be honored to meet you where you are, support you without judgment, and help you work toward the goals that matter most to you.
