With all the stressors of the modern world, many of us end up feeling overwhelmed at some point or another in our lives. Therapy can offer tools and strategies to manage stress and achieve a feeling of balance. When it comes to finding a therapist, Evansville IN can offer a wider range of choice than other more rural areas of Southern Indiana. But even in a populated city, it’s not always easy to find the mental health care that you need. 

For one thing, psychotherapy has a number of evidence-based approaches that are all more or less effective depending on the challenges that you face. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy can be an effective form of treatment for mood disorders, but if you are interested in support for reaching a career goal, solution focused therapy may be more appropriate. For a truly person-centered experience, it can be important to find a therapist who practices the type of therapy that will be most effective for your needs. The therapy you need isn’t necessarily going to be accessible or available in your area. 

That’s where online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp can help. BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 mental national certified counselors, MSW, LCSW, psychotherapists, and more, who specialize in a variety of areas, from treating personality disorders to helping people improve relationships. Fill out an online questionnaire, and BetterHelp will connect you with a therapist who meets your individual needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to the success of therapy, if you feel you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. 

If you live in the Evansville area and have been thinking about seeking therapy, for a few seconds or a few years, there is no better time to get started. Therapy can be beneficial for almost anyone, whether you’re looking for support to get your bachelor’s degree, want to learn about setting boundaries with loved ones, are interested in collecting coping skills for the stress of daily living, or are focusing on self-awareness. Contact BetterHelp to get started on your wellness journey.
