Laura Husband
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker and clinical supervisor with 17 years experience in community mental health settings. I have worked with a wide variety of symptoms and diagnoses including those struggling with depression, anxiety, self harm, anger management, parenting difficulties, stress, family and relationship conflicts. In addition, most of the people I have worked with have experienced some type of trauma including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse/assault. I am a very compassionate, person centered, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and trauma informed clinician. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most influential aspect of involvement in counseling. I use a combination of motivational interviewing, solution focused techniques, CBT, DBT , IFS and mindfulness techniques to offer support, identify and work toward the most desired areas of growth and to provide proven and effective techniques to provide relief and lasting change. I would be honored to work with you and journey toward a brighter and more fulfilled future.

It may not feel like it yet, but even through taking these steps, you are making progress! Steady progress is what I work with individuals to achieve through several treatment methods. The approaches that we use may be different for each person, but my hope for each client is that they reach three things: a sense of understanding, a route to self-acceptance/inner peace, and productivity toward reaching their deepest desires. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Kentucky and Indiana. I was born and raised in a city-setting (Louisville, KY), but spent time learning and working in a rural community as a graduate of Western Kentucky University. My counseling style is nurturing but practical. My hope is that with the end of each session, you will feel understood and motivated, and will have a plan of action to work toward your goals. Some of my favorite treatment modalities include solution-focused, narrative, CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. I have an open door to all races, religions, ideologies, and sexual-orientations. My specialties include substance abuse treatment, anxiety, stress, anger management, relationship issues, race/discrimination-related issues, life changes, and parenting issues. When I am not working in the role of therapist, I covet time spent with my husband and four kiddos. If you are ready to move forward toward better understanding yourself, your issues, and your solutions, lets get started! Don't wait another day to start working toward the way of life that you deserve.

Staci Carpenter
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and build meaningful, lasting change. I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, and personality-related challenges. I believe that many of the struggles people experience are not signs of weakness or personal failure. Often, they are the result of a nervous system that has been under stress for far too long. When we spend extended periods in survival mode, it can become difficult to feel calm, connected, confident, or hopeful. My approach focuses on helping clients understand these patterns, regulate their nervous systems, develop effective coping strategies, and create a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling. My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a space where you can speak openly about your experiences, feel genuinely heard, and explore challenges without fear of criticism or shame. At the same time, I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about problems. My goal is to help you gain practical tools and insights that can be applied to your daily life. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed interventions. Together, we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, challenge unhelpful beliefs, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthier ways of responding to life's stressors. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing complex mental health concerns, crisis situations, trauma histories, chronic stress, and significant life challenges. These experiences have reinforced my belief that people are often far more resilient and capable than they realize. Even when circumstances feel overwhelming, meaningful growth and healing are possible. Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, easy to talk to, compassionate, and direct when needed. I believe in meeting people where they are while also gently encouraging them toward growth. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build the skills and confidence needed to move forward. Seeking support takes courage, and reaching out for help is often the hardest step. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel stuck and unsure where to begin, you do not have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater healing, balance, and well-being.

Find a therapist near you in Frenchburg, Kentucky
Finding a therapist near you in Frenchburg, Kentucky starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals.

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 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.
