The original name of Willard was Chicago Junction, which was a reference to the junction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line to Sandusky and Chicago. However, it was renamed in 1917 after Daniel Willard, who was the president of the B&O Railroad because they were afraid the passengers may mistake their town for Chicago.

Everyone makes mistakes and it is perfectly natural to be concerned over your past mistakes but if you obsess over these mistakes or find yourself having trouble getting over things, you may need to see a mental health professional. No matter what your mental health concern may be, there are some great therapists and counselors in and around Willard who can help.

As a licensed therapist in Ohio with nearly two decades of experience, I specialize in trauma-informed care with a primary focus on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I am deeply committed to helping individuals heal from past wounds, process difficult life experiences, and build lasting emotional resilience. My approach is grounded in compassion, respect for each person’s unique story, and a strong understanding of how trauma impacts the mind, body, and relationships. In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Clinical Director at a substance use disorder (SUD) treatment center, where I support individuals and families navigating recovery. As someone who is also personally in recovery, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into the therapeutic space. This allows me to connect with clients in a genuine, nonjudgmental way while maintaining clear structure and clinical integrity. I was raised in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, and that background continues to shape my perspective, values, and commitment to serving diverse and often underserved communities. I understand the impact of environment, adversity, and systemic challenges, and I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood. I work extensively with concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also support individuals struggling with social anxiety, communication difficulties, identity and purpose exploration, and changes related to divorce, aging, or personal transformation. My therapeutic style is both supportive and structured. I aim to create an environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences while also gaining practical tools for real-life change. For those who are interested, I integrate faith-based perspectives into treatment, honoring the importance of spirituality in the healing process. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to move forward with clarity, strength, and purpose.

Find a therapist near you in Willard, Ohio

Finding a therapist near you in Willard, 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.

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.
