Hi, my name is Monica. First, let me say that it takes a level of fortitude to ask for help from anyone, let alone a stranger. It is different than the bravery it takes to protect our country or our cities, different than the bravery it takes to walk into a room full of people, and even different than what it takes to perform on stage or on an athletic field. So please take a moment to acknowledge your inner strength! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have worked in the mental health field for 21 years in some capacity, including community mental health, forensic assessment, and school counseling. What I find most gratifying is that "light bulb" moment when the person in front of me realizes and understands their worth, their strength, or that sense of connecting the dots which is so empowering for growth. I work with the individual to help them see past the personal obstacles that brought them to me in the first place and be able to find the happiness or feel relief they seek. I listen, I accept, and I coach you into a better state of mental balance. My approach to therapy is to challenge thoughts and behaviors that impede productive living. Having said that, I also like to tailor my technique to the person I'm interacting with. I place most of my focus on our therapeutic relationship, which is the key to our success. I have training in Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I work with those struggling with anxiety, grief, life changes, stress, or whatever else might interfere with living the life you deserve. So pull up a "couch" (your favorite chair or happy place, because with BetterHelp, you can do this wherever you feel most comfortable and safe) and let's get started. I am ready to listen and do what I can to help.

Hi! I'm Ash. I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio, and I believe therapy is most effective when you feel understood—not judged. I don't believe therapy is about "fixing" people. I believe every person already has strengths; sometimes life, trauma, stress, or difficult experiences simply make them harder to see. My role is to help you rediscover those strengths, better understand yourself, and build practical tools that support the life you want to create. Throughout my career in community mental health, I've had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, and the everyday stress of balancing life's many responsibilities. I've also worked alongside individuals experiencing housing instability, community violence, and other systemic barriers that can make healing feel even more difficult. One of the things I value most is meeting people exactly where they are. Therapy isn't something I do to you—it's something we build together. I believe my clients teach me just as much as I hope to teach them, and I approach every person with curiosity, respect, and the understanding that no two stories are the same. My style is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and person-centered. I strive to create a space where you can be honest about what's working, what isn't, and what you hope life could look like moving forward. Together, we'll explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. Clients often describe me as compassionate, approachable, and genuine. I care deeply about helping people recognize their resilience, advocate for themselves, and discover that they are capable of more than they may believe in difficult moments. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, processing trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling stuck, or simply looking for someone to walk alongside you, I'd be honored to support you. I believe healing happens one conversation at a time—and I'd be grateful to be part of your journey.

Find a therapist near you in Newcomerstown, Ohio

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

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Ohio, 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.

Finding a therapist that accepts insurance in Ohio

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session. 

You can check your in-network status on the BetterHelp site through the sign up flow. If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost. For a full breakdown of how BetterHelp works with insurance plans, see BetterHelp insurance coverage.

How BetterHelp helps you find the right therapist in Ohio

BetterHelp helps you find the right therapist in Ohio through personalized matching that considers your needs, preferences, and goals. After you answer a few questions during the sign up flow, you can be matched with a licensed therapist from a network of over 30,000 professionals, and 93% of user preferences are met during matching.

If your first match is not the right fit, you can switch therapists at no extra cost. When you are ready, you can get started and begin the process.
