I can tell you about the “dry stuff” – I am Staci Allmand, a Social Worker for the past 38 years with a Masters degree in Social Work (1996) from Eastern Michigan University. I will telI you that I am a fully licensed by the State of Michigan (LMSW). I can tell you about my experiences working with multiple types of challenges (homelessness, trauma, addiction and so many more). This is absolutely vital information to know about any therapist you may seek out. Yet, I have always felt that the core of what I believe, the “space” within myself from which I operate and relate to you, is the most important aspect of who I am as a therapist. I strongly believe that the mind, body and spirit are connected to such an extent, they cannot be separated. When something is weighing on our mind, occupying our thoughts, our body may respond by clenching the jaw, not being able to sleep, nausea, and other physical discomforts. Our spirit may feel tired and unmotivated. Our mind, our body and our spirit make the whole of us. One impacts the others and I can help you understand how. Integrated care is vital to healing. That is why I always encourage people to seek additional treatments such as massage, acupuncture, meditation, yoga, and other forms of healing. It’s all connected and it all contributes. I help people heal their mind, body and spirit. The path isn’t always clear; sometimes it’s difficult to know what is hindering us from moving forward. I am here to walk that path with you; to help show you options and the tools needed for your journey.

Hi, my name is David Mitchell. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Michigan with 10 years experience helping clients work through various challenges. I have extensive experience helping individuals with housing challenges, drug and alcohol addiction, families of an addicted person, crisis management, and helping neurodivergent individuals adjust to life challenges. I also have the ability to help clients with common concerns like: various types of anxiety, depression, life changes and life direction concerns. I have extended training in men's issues like: anger, lust, affairs, and pornography use. I have been told by my superiors in my early work settings that I make a good partner for female clients. I have a gentle encouraging style with an ability to clarify complicated issues and build a solid relationship. I have also faired well with working with older adults. My wife tells me I should have been born in a different generation. I relate to the older generations because I value hard work, live by my values, and like to sacrifice for my family and closest friends. My main passion for my work on Better Help is to help clients integrate their faith into their therapy. As a person who has worked with individuals in really difficult circumstances I know that life can be really challenging and we could all benefit from believing that God cares about our unique circumstances. I became a Christian in my college years and went to seminary twice to find my life direction. I am very happy today that I get to help people work through their mental health challenges and have the opportunity to have those spiritual discussions that sometimes come up in therapy. If you are considering trying therapy with me on Better Help I would want you to know that I care about my clients deeply. I think of my work as more than a job. I want the best for each of my clients. I strive to be knowledgeable, professional, and encouraging in all situations. I would look forward to getting to know you and seeing how we could work together.

Find a therapist near you in Evart, Michigan

Finding a therapist near you in Evart, Michigan starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Michigan is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. 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 Michigan, 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 Michigan, 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. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Michigan

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Michigan, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
