Most people associate licensed psychologists with the treatment of mental health conditions like behavioral disorders or depression. However, many of us can become overwhelmed during times of transition and change, or even with the stress of day to day living and may benefit from working with mental health counselors. A therapist can offer support and tools to deal with behavioral issues, process past trauma, manage stress, and even work on personal growth. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Muncie, IN 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 traditional talk therapy can be highly specialized, based on therapeutic approach, specific challenges, and even population. A licensed psychologist who specializes in art therapy to process trauma offers different tools than one who works with cognitive therapies to treat bipolar disorder. A solution focused therapist can help with career goal setting, but play therapy can be more effective for children experiencing family conflict. With so many therapy options, what you need may not necessarily be available nearby. That’s where online therapy can help. 

BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to broad range providers from licensed mental health counselors to social workers, who specialize in a wide variety of therapies and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you to the therapist that best meets your personal needs. And because therapeutic alliance can be key to success, if 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. 

If you lived in the Muncie area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp to gets started. You can also check out the list of local online-based providers below.
