Therapy can be a step toward personal growth and a more satisfying life. If you’re looking for a therapist in Livonia, MI, consider online treatment. Barriers to care, like transportation challenges or a lack of available providers, can make it challenging to find in-person therapy in a Livonia office. With online treatment, you can work with a therapist from the comfort of your home at a time that works for your schedule.

Online therapists work to create a collaborative environment as they guide you through the counseling process. BetterHelp has more than 30,000 providers. You can work with an art therapist or psychologist, and social workers, licensed professional counselors, and other providers are also available on the platform. Plus, you can change providers at any time for no fee to find the right therapist for you.

Therapy can help you overcome many of life's challenges, like low self-esteem, feelings of loss, or work-related stress. If you need support learning to manage symptoms of mental health conditions, manage trauma control, or learn healthy coping skills, talk to a therapist. While BetterHelp does not offer family counseling, individual counseling with an online therapist can help you work through the stress caused by conflicts with family members. 

Online counseling services can help you learn to manage the challenges in your own life. Connect with a therapist offering services in Livonia below to learn more.

I have been fortunate to work with people in all stages across the life-span, as a counselor and life coach for 20 years. I have a B.A. in Early Childhood Education from Western Michigan University and have taught at the preschool and early elementary level. I also have training as a birth and postpartum doula. My M.A., also through WMU, is in Community Agency Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan and Arizona. I was fortunate to offer counseling for elderly residents of long-term care facilities in Branch County, MI for five years. My pronouns are she/her. Most recently I have combined my passion for helping people with my interest in multiculturalism. I am a certified diversity trainer with National Coalition Building Institute and have spent twelve years working with international high school exchange students throughout every aspect of their program experience, from placement to support throughout their program year. I was very happy to complete training through Bennett Stellar University in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy in 2013 and have found the coaching skills gained there to be a tremendous addition to my counseling background. My approach to counseling varies depending on the needs of the client and combines all aspects of my own background and training to work effectively with a diverse range of clients at all points in the life cycle. My counseling style is warm, compassionate, and interactive. I use an eclectic blend of cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness techniques along with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and hypnotherapy to help you reach your goals. Together we will explore the messages you have absorbed from the world around you and re-frame the subconscious messages you give yourself so that you can find peace, happiness, and success. I look forward to getting to know you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with over 12 years of clinical work experience. I have enjoyed helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, depression & anger management concerns. I also have experience helping clients around coping and problem-solving life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I have always wanted to help people uncover and embrace their whole self. I pursued psychology and social work studies in college and graduate school to establish a foundation to be able to offer just that. Throughout my 22 years in in the field of psychosocial functioning and mental health treatment, I have continued to enhance my knowledge and skills through everyday engagement with clients, as well as regular continued education and practice. I have enjoyed opportunities to meet people where they are and help them get to where they want to be. There is potential for small similarities in behavioral health therapies, so I do sometimes pull from a few to offer an integrative approach, though my primary focus tends to be Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Therapy. We understandably take our thinking and experiences for granted sometimes, maybe not even noticing things until they've become unmanageable. It's natural in a fast-paced, stressful world where we might be less attuned to ourselves than we otherwise might be. Negative thoughts and beliefs can consume us. I agree that focusing on the links between triggers, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can help us become more mindfully aware, as well as better prepared to cope and act with knowledge and intention. It takes courage and strength to explore within and begin the first steps toward making a change. Are you ready? I am here for you.
