What you need may not always be nearby, even in a metropolitan area.
With online therapy through an online therapy platform like BetterHelp, you get access to over 30,000 mental health professionals that specialize in everything from healing family conflict to managing behavioral issues. By filling out an online questionnaire, you’ll be matched to a therapist that meets your individual needs.

Online therapy may also be a solution for people who may not be able to get to in-person therapy appointments. Professionals with busy lives and packed schedules may benefit from attending sessions online. Counseled students too can find time between study and classes to speak to their online therapist. And for individuals who are struggling to overcome the effects of trauma, limiting what they can handle as far as attending in-person sessions, a video chat or phone call can be the difference between getting therapy or avoiding it altogether.

Jennifer Enders
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are — without judgment, pressure, or having to “have it all figured out.” With more than 20 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I work alongside clients to help them better understand themselves, navigate difficult seasons of life, and create meaningful, lasting change. Many of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, low self-esteem, or the emotional weight of caring for others while trying to care for themselves. Some feel overwhelmed or stuck, while others simply want a deeper understanding of who they are and what they need in order to feel more grounded and fulfilled. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe each individual’s story, experiences, and strengths matter, and I tailor therapy to fit your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we can explore patterns that may no longer serve you, strengthen coping skills, improve self-awareness, and build a healthier relationship with yourself and others. I have experience supporting young adults, older adults, caregivers, and individuals facing major life changes or questions around identity, purpose, relationships, and personal growth. Whether you are navigating a difficult transition or simply looking for a space to process and heal, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the process. I am licensed in Iowa and Arizona and am honored to support clients on their path toward healing, resilience, and self-discovery.
Yvonne Heim
Hi, My name is Yvonne Heim, a Licensed Professional Counselor with the state of Texas. I have been a counselor for close to fifteen years. I have a master’s degree in psychology with a specialty in addiction and a master’s degree in human services with a specialty in mental health counseling. My approach to helping clients is I understand every client is different as are the problems they present with and one size does not fit all when it comes to helping clients. There are a variety of theories and techniques to assist clients in reaching his or her goals but, Person Centered Therapy along with Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has worked well for me in treating clients. I want clients to feel comfortable working with me and me with him or her. More importantly, I want a client to leave a session feeling like he or she was heard, and the problems, issues, and goals were the focus of the session. During sessions, clients should feel comfortable sharing and asking questions and not feel judged in any way. Person Centered Therapy is ideal for accomplishing those things. I also believe one's thoughts greatly impact one's mood, emotional well-being, and behavior. Teaching clients how to overcome many of his or her negative thinking patterns is extremely helpful and utilizing DBT can be beneficial in assisting a client to achieve peace within while working on problems and overcoming problems through emotion regulation and mindfulness. Whether it is depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, or some other mental health issue, I will assist and support clients as they work in either overcoming the problem or learn to manage issues more effectively. I am a compassionate and caring counselor and a good listener. I know firsthand how important it is to have a good counselor because I have experienced trauma, grief, and a host of other emotions and symptoms as a result of my trauma. I reached out for a counselor and for me, the counselor I worked with made all the difference in overcoming my life challenges.
Javonne Spivey
My name is Javonne Spivey and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, and relationship challenges. My counseling style is genuine and validating. I am passionate about building therapeutic rapport with individuals to help them identify strengths as they work towards achieving personal goals. I believe therapy consists of a collaborative relationship and therefore I welcome feedback and encourage individuals to be an active participant in their treatment. My approach to treatment combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I am intentional about educating individuals about the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and highlighting the power of thoughts and self-talk. I am a Christian and I enjoy utilizing scripture to help individuals achieve wellness that will lead to greatness. I have experience with implementing bible plans in treatment to help individuals address depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and purpose. I created a Christian mental wellness journal titled, Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts. The journal teaches the skills of utilizing scripture and taking thoughts captive to control and manage thinking patterns. The journal introduces a technique called prayerful thoughts. Prayerful thoughts are thoughts rooted in scripture. The journal encourages the reader to challenge unhealthy thoughts with scripture and replace unhealthy thoughts with prayerful thoughts. I appreciate your interest in working with me and I am looking forward to listening to your story and building a therapeutic relationship. My mission is to help you achieve wellness that leads to greatness. Let’s get started!

Joseph Valletti
Hey, I think it’s time for a deep breath! The more we chase speculation the more we turn those things into a mental drain. Most of us just need to slow things down and relax, to let our natural gifts come to the surface. Sometimes the assets in our toolboxes get a little rusty. I can help you re-discover them for current and upcoming challenging scenarios. For over 30 years my client base has encompassed individuals, couples, and families in a number of diverse areas. I have counseled in homes, organizations, schools, places of worship, and the military. Ten years of international experience allows me to assess relationships from a variety of diverse angle. I prefer to work with my clients in the present and future. It was Winston Churchill’s wife that said “ You are strong because you are imperfect, you are wise because you have doubts.” So being imperfect and having doubts is important. I'd like to think I’m practical and motivating, with a dash of humor. I'm available Monday - Friday with my pre-set days/times from the AM: 5:00, 6:15, 7:30, 8:45, 11:30 and in the PM: 12:45, 2:00, 3:15, 4:30. And also Saturday: 5:00, 6:15, 7:30, 845. All in CST time zone. My clients set their own day/times with the BetterHelp Scheduler. And upfront I don't do in-session therapy by "text only." Clients and I can text each other between sessions as needed. Folks after 30 years of walking down this career path I know at this time in my life what I'm good at, and ones that I'm moving on from. As a result I have a narrow range of clients. I have been involved with all the noted areas below – believe I’ve left behind a good tradecraft in those areas that covered many years. My best interests are with you - giving you the best service you deserve. So based on the above, I’m don’t take clients in the following areas: pornography, ADHD, domestic violence, clients 29 and below, anxiety, A&D& and Vape, anxiety, LBGTQ, pre-marital counseling, suicidal ideation (under a year), upper level clergy administration, and those wanting live chat therapy only. MOST IMPORTANT, on the first session - the use of a firehose strategy doesn’t work out for the both of us. You know the firehose – info bombarding because you want to get me up to date, an emotionally charged dump of data that I can’t keep up with – a waste of the first session. I need you to entrust your case to me - everything will come to the surface soon; but there’s a method for that. To me the first session is important - the last thing I want to do is waste our time. I look forward to talking with you!

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
