Working with a licensed therapist can provide a non-judgmental space for working through your unique challenges, like navigating relationship difficulties, improving low self-esteem, or managing the symptoms of mental health conditions like anxiety or depression.

If you’re looking for a therapist, AZ has many options for online therapy. Barriers to treatment, like transportation issues or concerns about cost, can make finding the right therapist challenging. Plus, you may live in a part of the state where access to Tucson or Phoenix therapists is limited. Telehealth services through a platform like BetterHelp can give you convenient and flexible mental health care from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you.

BetterHelp does not provide group therapy or treatment designed for children, like play therapy at this time. However, the psychologists, social workers, and other professionals on the platform can guide you through various modalities, including narrative therapy, art therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Plus, you can change providers at any time until you find the right therapeutic relationship for you. 

If you’re looking for a therapist in Flagstaff, Phoenix, Tucson, or the surrounding areas, connect with a provider licensed in Arizona below to learn more about the therapeutic process and take a step toward improving your mental health.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some commonly asked questions can be found below.

How much does a therapist cost?

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

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. 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.

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.

How do I know if I should get a therapist?

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.

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 in Arizona can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover therapy?

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.

Is online therapy safe?

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.
