Working with a therapist can help you manage many of life’s challenges. If you’re looking for mental health care in Michigan, it may be beneficial to consider online therapy.

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

With BetterHelp, you can work with a licensed clinical social worker or other mental health professional from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you. Whether you need help dealing with work stress, coping with having split custody of your children, or increasing self awareness, therapy can help. Your provider will work with you to determine a therapy approach to help guide you through the healing process as you overcome your unique challenges and meet your goals.

If you’re looking for a licensed therapist, MI has many online options. Below is a list of available social workers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals licensed to provide telehealth services state-wide.

Welcome — There’s Hope for a Better Future Feeling stuck is what brought you here to seek help, and I want you to know that seeking help is the first step toward change. As a therapist, I’m here to support you in easing the discomfort you’re facing and guiding you toward becoming the best version of yourself.

Let’s work on helping you embrace who you are and build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. You don’t have to do this alone. Hello, I’m Ben, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience. Although I have been trained in a significant variety of counseling techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Reality Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, you’re likely not here to hear about therapy techniques. What you want to know is this: Can I help you live a better life? My answer is yes. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and create a path toward a future filled with hope and purpose. Although I have worked with young and old, males and females, I’ve experienced great success helping men work through transitions such as divorce, career shifts, or personal setbacks and are seeking to rediscover their purpose. Many men feel they need to handle life’s challenges alone, but you don’t. I’m here to help you rebuild confidence, regain clarity, and find new meaning in your life. My approach is a solution-focused and strength-based approach rooted in empathy and hope. My solid Christian foundation supports my belief that hope is key to overcoming life’s hardest challenges both in the physical and spiritual realms. I also believe we all have the power to make better choices, and that small, consistent steps can transform your life. You don’t have to stay stuck. There is hope for a much better future. A better life is waiting, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.

How much does therapy with a licensed therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person Michigan therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $65 to $100 per week. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Is it possible to find a therapist, counselor, or psychology practitioner that offers affordable therapy?

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

When should I get a therapist in Michigan?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

What can a psychologist help me with in therapy?

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover the cost of in-person or online therapy with a therapist in Michigan?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Are online therapy sessions the safe option?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.

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.
