Victoria Naginsky
Welcome ! Something in your life has initiated this search for support and you have come to the right place. I applaud you. My name is Victoria, and I am both a licensed professional therapist and a Nationally Certified Counselor in the state of Florida. I have worked with individuals experiencing a variety of issues including substance abuse, depression and anxiety, family conflict, trauma, stress-related issues, communication challenges, self-esteem, and many more. I have extensive experience working with Trauma and am trained in providing Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. My choice to work in this field comes from the belief that everyone deserves to be understood, heard, and supported while working towards becoming their best selves. I would describe myself as being someone who is compassionate and open-minded. My belief is that everyone has needs that should be met in order to be their best. I also come from the view that our thoughts shape our way of being in the world and affect our patterns of behavior. It would be my privilege to become a partner in your journey while helping you figure out and achieve your mental health goals. I will provide not only support and understanding but a clear direction, and both solution-focused and CBT strategies to get you to the place you deserve and want to be. Whether you are seeking change for a healthier happier life, or just need a non-judgmental ear to listen, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
Marsha Nan Poland Cooper
Hi Everyone! My name is Marsha Nan Poland Cooper, but please call me Nan. I have been a therapist for several years. I started in a clinic setting and through the clinic, I was a therapist for clients in the school system. I started my private practice five years ago and love working for myself. My BA and MAE degrees are from Western Kentucky University. I believe that clients should have an active role in their sessions. I use CBT quite a bit in therapy, and I like to give homework to clients on occasion.
Brandy Westerfield
I am licensed in Kentucky with 15 years of professional work experience in outpatient therapy. I am especially helpful to clients experiencing relationship issues, trauma, intimacy related issues, infidelity recovery for couples, self-love, motivation, self esteem, confidence, ADHD, codependency, & young adult issues. It's important to me that all clients feel safe and comfortable in a judge-free zone which is why unconditional positive regard is my first and foremost priority. I don't like to waste time or make sessions about myself and prefer a gentle approach to building an emotional tool box. Some of the treatment approaches I use are cognitive behavior, motivational interviewing, EMDR, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as good, old-fashioned humor;) Talking to someone about problems, stressors, or past pain can be both difficult & relieving and I'd like to do that with you while keeping special focus on YOUR specific strengths. I've found that most clients fear reliving shame and/or early childhood experiences the most so if that's you, guess what? You're "normal". If not, feel free to be "not normal" in sessions with me.

Russell Price
Hi! My name is Russell or Rusty or Russ, whichever you prefer. My approach is casual, but also rooted in science. Like an astronaut might say they “always knew they wanted to be an astronaut”, I’ve always known I wanted to be a therapist. I’ve studied the more interesting psychological treatment approaches, like humanistic theory, motivational and mindfulness based approaches, but graduated from a rigorous Psychology program rooted in the science of Cognitive Behavioral Theory. My Master's degree is a Master’s of Science in Social Work. I believe that there’s a framework that fits everyone and every problem, but that good outcomes are rooted in a good therapeutic rapport as well as an approach that actually works. Let’s let your challenges guide our treatment approach, I’m here to listen and help you solve!

Scotty Caudill
Hi, I’m Scotty! It is my goal to join with you and guide both of us in growth through the power of the therapeutic relationship. Although I describe my therapeutic approach as eclectic, I lean heavily toward Relational-Cultural Theory. I believe that people grow in relationships that exhibit mutual empathy and empowerment. I have particular interest in the effects of trauma on an individual’s mental and physical health and methods in which those effects can be mitigated. Solution-Focused Therapy is an integral part of my practice as well. SFT is a solution-focused, future-oriented form of therapy that focuses on your strengths as a way to reach your goals. In this paradigm, you, the client, are viewed as the expert on your life. I have worked in the field of mental health for nearly 30 years. My clients have come from all age groups, educational levels, and socioeconomic statuses. I have worked with clients in community mental health, prison, long-term care, and hospice. I hold a Masters of Arts in Psychology from Marshall University and a Masters in Social Work from the University of New England. In my free time, I enjoy reading post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction. When I’m not reading, I spend hours enjoying nature in the Appalachian Mountains along with my Great Pyrenees, Ghost. Together, we will form a therapeutic relationship that will strengthen and empower the both of us in growth. Please contact me if you feel that I may be able to meet your needs.

Chatia Warrick
Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Kentucky with over 7 years of experience providing counseling services to individuals navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and complex health-related concerns. Prior to licensure, I completed two years of clinical internship experience, and I have been supporting individuals through life transitions in various professional and supportive roles for nearly 13 years. I have spent much of my career working with adults who have experienced acquired or traumatic brain injuries, including seven years providing counseling services in this area. This work has shaped my understanding of grief, identity changes, emotional regulation, and rebuilding confidence after significant life events. I also have experience in community mental health, where I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I am currently a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision and am completing my dissertation, which focuses on Perinatal Mental Health in people of color and the importance of culturally responsive care. My counseling style is laid-back, warm, and inviting. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being open, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical; I believe it works best when it feels collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real life. I offer therapy through live chat, a structured, real-time, text-based format that is available to both adolescents and adults. Many clients find that writing helps reduce anxiety, supports emotional regulation, and allows space for thoughtful reflection before responding. For teens, live chat can make therapy feel more approachable, and for adults, it can be a helpful option for those who are not comfortable being on camera or who prefer not to use video sessions. Offering this format is part of my commitment to reducing barriers to therapy and making mental health support more accessible. Limited Sunday live chat appointments may be available upon request. Please message to inquire about Sunday availability.” For clients who prefer other formats, video and phone sessions are also available, allowing us to choose the modality that best supports comfort, engagement, and therapeutic progress. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, adjusting to changes, or looking for ongoing support, I’m here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you.

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.

In Kentucky, 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 Kentucky, 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.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
