Many of us associate counseling services with treatment of mental health disorders, or dealing with struggles such as sexual abuse or other trauma. However, the counseling journey can encompass so much more. A therapist can offer support and tools to cope with life transitions, identify and manage stress, find ways to build healthier relationships, and facilitate self-awareness. Therapy can be an effective treatment for PTSD and other challenges, but it can also promote well-being for almost anyone. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Kokomo, Indiana may offer more options than many surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One reason for this is that there are a number of therapeutic approaches, specializations, and techniques within the wider field of psychotherapy. What you need may not necessarily be available nearby. For example, if a family finds a family therapy center that is convenient, they may have a waiting list or may not be taking new patients. Or a person seeking CBT for a mood disorder may realize that the closest practitioner is too far away for them to get to on a weekly basis. That’s where online therapy can help. 

BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a wide variety of mental health professionals that specialize in a broad range of approaches, and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

BetterHelp is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options allow you to meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home. 

If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp to get started, or check out the list of Kokomo-based online therapists below for more information.

My name is Joice, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Indiana. I am happy to walk side by side with you as you work through the setback(s) in your life. You do not have to do it alone. My approach is strength and competence based and I draw from a variety of models, (CBT, MI, ACT, DBT, EFT, EMDR, SFBT, AF-CBT, TF-CBT, just to name a few), with the understanding that not one size fits all. I enjoy working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, trauma and grief. I am a good listener, empathetic and non-judgemental. For immigrants out there, I know how it feels to move into a different country and acculturate. I have been there and done that, so I have a few lessions I have learned in my own journey that may help you get to where you want to be fastor than I did. Immigrant parents, I am here for you. I brought my children here when they were 10, 12 and 15, and our adjustment was not easy! But that experience has equiped me to help others. So, I challange you to dare yourself to trust me. Together we can put the puzzle pieces back in place.
