If you’re interested in therapy in Utah, consider online treatment. While an independent practice or a mental health center may be available in your area, barriers to treatment, like a lack of available providers or transportation issues, can make it challenging to find an in-person appointment. 

With BetterHelp, you can attend therapy with social workers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you, making treatment more accessible and convenient. This flexibility can benefit busy UT students, professionals, or parents with limited time in their schedules. 

While BetterHelp does not currently provide group therapy or hold support groups, the providers on the platform can provide a welcoming environment for individual counseling and help you through your unique challenges. You can also request to have your counseling records transferred to your medical doctor or other provider if needed.

Whether you need to learn coping skills or mindfulness techniques or want to overcome past experiences, online treatment can help. If you’re looking for an online therapist, UT has many individual counseling services available. The providers on the following list are licensed to provide individual therapy online in Utah. If you need immediate support, please see the resources on our Get Help Now page.

Trauma is timeless. Even though it happened a long time ago, it can feel as though it is happening now. Trauma can negatively impact every part of your life. Even a simple trip to the grocery store can feel overwhelming. Work can feel impossible and few people understand. I feel a special connection to anyone with trauma because I have experienced trauma of my own. You are going to feel cared for and validated. As a symptom of deep trauma, we often try to numb our pain. Unfortunately numbing the pain also numbs happiness. Human beings are meant to experience a full range of emotion. As healing occurs you will begin to feel that you can embrace the hard times as well as fully enjoy the great times. You deserve to have a therapist who cares and understands you. Life can become peaceful, meaningful and happy. I graduated from BYU in 2009. I then went on to get a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University. I grew up near Seattle and moved to Salt Lake City when I was 17 years old. I lived in Norway for 2 years. I play the guitar, I like to ride motorcycles and cook.

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Utah. I have experience working with children, teens, and families. Some of the concerns that I have worked with clients on in therapy include family conflict, transitioning to adulthood, long-term depression, persistent anxiety, stress, abuse, and trauma. I am an EMDR-trained therapist who has worked with clients who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual trauma. I have experience working with clients with ADHD, on the autism spectrum, and who would consider themselves "quirky". My counseling style is open and based around conversation. I help my clients to conceptualize their concerns and problems in a different light, changing the meaning of the stories they tell without changing the facts. I also help clients to develop different skills that can help to manage symptoms of distress in everyday life, such as mindfulness and meditation techniques and thought-changing skills. My counseling style combines EMDR and Narrative therapy techniques with DBT, CBT, and mindfulness skills for a whole-body wellness approach. I understand how difficult it can be to seek therapy and to find a therapist that whom you connect with. I applaud those who take the first step toward facing their issues and fears and hope that I am able to work with you to live your best life.

Hi, there! My name is Tamra Priestley and I am a clinical mental health counselor (CMHC) living in Utah. I am also a Life Coach, specializing in the essentials of self-mastery, and relationships. It is my passion to help people have successful relationships, first with themselves, and then with others. It has been a joy to help those who are seeking to learn skills necessary for successful relationships! Most people just don’t know how! I have also been privileged to help many individuals overcome the devastating effects of anxiety and depression. I experienced this devastation myself and no longer suffer from those emotions. I want to help you learn how to live more peaceful, productive, and happy lives. I have also worked with many individuals who have experienced pain from trauma and abuse in all the ways that can happen. This leads to lack of motivation, poor self-esteem, lack of confidence, depression and anxiety. Trauma and abuse may affect every part of your life until healing occurs. I want to help you heal those parts of your past. My experience includes working in three private practices (now my own) and for a company providing services to their employees, including first responders and law enforcement and their families. I have worked with the elderly experiencing end-of-life issues. I love working with people from all walks of life. Each person is so important! Drawing from my own experiences as a single parent, a son who has several challenges, adoption, divorce, abuse, and many other experiences helps me to utilize my professional training in a way that is personal and effective. I believe in homework that helps you grow beyond the sessions. I welcome the opportunity to help you in your current challenges to find meaning and purpose, learn new skills, and experience a healed and happier life!

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.
