Have you been the one everyone relies on for so long that you barely remember what it feels like to have someone there for you? Many people spend years taking care of responsibilities, supporting others, and pushing through challenges without stopping to notice how much they’re carrying. From the outside, they appear capable and strong. Inside, though, they may feel worn down, overwhelmed, or unsure how things became so heavy. If this resonates with you, please know you’re not the only one who feels this way—and you don’t have to keep handling it all on your own. My name is Bonnie Christensen, and I’m a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience helping people through difficult and uncertain times in their lives. My path into this work was shaped not only by professional training, but also by personal experiences that taught me how easy it is to take on too much for too long. I understand how stress, responsibility, and life changes can slowly build until you begin to feel emotionally drained or disconnected from yourself. Many of the individuals I meet with in therapy are intelligent, thoughtful people who have spent much of their lives being the dependable one. They’re the person others count on, the one who keeps things running smoothly, the one who tries to hold everything together. But after years of putting others first, it’s common to reach a point where you feel exhausted, discouraged, or uncertain about who you are anymore. In my practice, I support adults who are navigating challenges such as: • Persistent worry or anxiety • Feeling emotionally depleted or burned out • Depression or loss of motivation • Grief and major life changes • Difficult relationship patterns • Struggles with confidence or self-worth • The strain of caring for others while neglecting your own needs People often begin therapy feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward. Together, we work on creating a clearer understanding of what you’re experiencing and finding practical ways to help you feel steadier, stronger, and more connected to your life again. My approach combines well-established therapeutic methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices. Just as importantly, I believe therapy should feel supportive, respectful, and tailored to who you are as a person. This is your time and your space. You don’t have to hide your feelings, explain them perfectly, or pretend everything is fine. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, talk openly, and begin untangling the things that have been weighing on you. Some people seek therapy because they’ve lost someone important. Others feel like they’ve lost the version of life they once imagined. And many simply feel tired of facing everything alone. No matter where you are right now, your experiences matter, and you deserve support. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncertain, but it’s also a powerful act of caring for yourself. If we work together, we’ll move forward at a pace that feels comfortable, focusing on what helps you regain a sense of stability, clarity, and hope. I’m glad you found your way here, and it would be a privilege to support you as you begin reconnecting with yourself and the life you want to build.

Find a therapist near you in Port Richey, Florida

Finding a therapist near you in Port Richey, Florida starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Florida is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Florida, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Florida, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Florida

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Florida, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

Finding a therapist that accepts insurance in Florida

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' copay is as low as $15, some pay $0. 

You can check your in-network status on the BetterHelp site through the sign up flow. If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost. For a full breakdown of how BetterHelp works with insurance plans, see BetterHelp insurance coverage.
