Finding licensed therapists in Ohio can feel more doable with online care, whether someone is in Columbus or Cleveland, in a suburb outside Cincinnati, or in a smaller community between them. For people looking for therapy in Ohio, in-person options may come with long waits in busier areas and fewer nearby choices farther out, so online sessions can offer a more flexible way to begin. BetterHelp connects adults with Ohio therapists, including professionals such as LPCs and social workers, who may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma through video, phone, or live chat.

BetterHelp works with more than 30,000 qualified providers worldwide, which can give people seeking care a broader range of backgrounds, specialties, and approaches such as CBT or DBT. BetterHelp also accepts insurance through many major insurance plans, and eligible individuals average copay is $23 per session.* For those exploring online therapy in Ohio, that can mean an affordable option with fewer barriers, along with support that fits work, family life, and changing schedules.

I am a marriage and family therapist with 9 years of experience counseling a wide range of clients. I have worked with clients on grief and loss, depression and anxiety as well as substance abuse concerns. I take a warm approach with clients and use a client centered approach to therapy. I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy and approach the sessions in a collaborative manner always working together with people I am working with. I respect that you took this step to seek out a listening ear and I look forward to working together with you on this journey. I was born in New York and as a young child my family moved out to Los Angeles and I have been here ever since. Growing up I was always fascinated by the field of psychology and when I was going for my Bachelors Degree I therefore choose to major in psychology. I attended Touro College Los Angeles for my Bachelors degree and then pursued my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Touro University Worldwide. When working with clients I take a warm and empathetic approach and really try to hear what the client is saying. Therapy can be very rewarding but it is often challenging to talk about the difficulties that we face. In session I strive to create a supportive and safe space where we can work together mindfully and without judgement to increase wellness. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile. I look forward to working together!

Love is to been seen and heard, trauma is the opposite. I graduated in Counseling from the Townsend Institute at Concordia University in Irvine, California. I have lived, worked and volunteered internationally and in the western U.S. giving me a strong multicultural competence. I've worked as a therapist in school settings and private practice. I utilize a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model in my approaches. My passion is to help people in any way I can using evidence-based practices for clients who truly seek transformation from the inside out. I'm interested in how emotional abuse or neglect have impacted my client's current state. If you have had a negative experience with another therapist, family member(s) or the church, I'd would like the privilege to earn your trust and help you get to the root of your struggle. I am a Biblical emotional health advocate and understand the value of soul care. I help my clients to combining clinical views & Christ- truths using critical thinking, especially in terms of psychological abuse. I specialize in identifying and treating victims of narcissistic abuse. I provide feedback, homework, and specialized evidence based interventions that promote growth and positive change.

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker who believes therapy works best when it feels human — a mix of real talk, humor, skill‑building, and a space where you can breathe for a minute. I work with adults and young people (teens and older youth) navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity challenges, and the messy in‑between stages of life.My style is warm, down‑to‑earth, and a little playful. I’m not the “nod silently and stare at you” type of therapist. I’ll celebrate your wins, help you make sense of your patterns, and give you practical tools you can actually use. I often integrate DBT skills, mindfulness, and grounding strategies — especially for clients who appreciate structure or need help staying regulated.Whether you’re an adult trying to keep it together or a young person figuring out who you are in a world that feels loud and complicated, I’m here to support you with compassion, clarity, and a touch of humor. You get to show up exactly as you are — no perfection required.

Hi! I'm Ash. I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio, and I believe therapy is most effective when you feel understood—not judged. I don't believe therapy is about "fixing" people. I believe every person already has strengths; sometimes life, trauma, stress, or difficult experiences simply make them harder to see. My role is to help you rediscover those strengths, better understand yourself, and build practical tools that support the life you want to create. Throughout my career in community mental health, I've had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, and the everyday stress of balancing life's many responsibilities. I've also worked alongside individuals experiencing housing instability, community violence, and other systemic barriers that can make healing feel even more difficult. One of the things I value most is meeting people exactly where they are. Therapy isn't something I do to you—it's something we build together. I believe my clients teach me just as much as I hope to teach them, and I approach every person with curiosity, respect, and the understanding that no two stories are the same. My style is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and person-centered. I strive to create a space where you can be honest about what's working, what isn't, and what you hope life could look like moving forward. Together, we'll explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. Clients often describe me as compassionate, approachable, and genuine. I care deeply about helping people recognize their resilience, advocate for themselves, and discover that they are capable of more than they may believe in difficult moments. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, processing trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling stuck, or simply looking for someone to walk alongside you, I'd be honored to support you. I believe healing happens one conversation at a time—and I'd be grateful to be part of your journey.
