I am a licensed psychotherapist in Colorado and Oklahoma with an emphasis on family and marital therapy. I have over 10 years of experience assisting others with their personal growth and expanding limited mindsets in a deliberate and conscious way. Throughout all of my sessions, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental, and private space for clients to effectively and productively express their emotions. I specialize in breaking generational trauma/curses, inner childhood wounds, religious (including LDS) trauma, substance/drug abuse, anxiety, depression, creating healthy boundaries, toxic perfectionism, body positivity, limited beliefs, LGBTQ+ issues, couple's counseling, conflict resolution, and pornography addiction. I also deal with topics such as sex therapy, sexual dysfunction, sexual infidelity, and low libido. I have extensive background in evidenced-based therapies, such as narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and mindfulness practice. I will tailor my approach towards the client based on the client's own preferences and needs in therapy. Throughout our sessions, I will help you formulate various coping strategies and goals to help you grow. If you ever feel that you are in need of urgent help or in a crisis, please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This platform currently does not have any emergency services available, so I want to ensure that you have the proper resources to get the help you need in the event of crisis. It takes an incredible amount of courage and awareness to reach out for help. My ultimate goal is to guide you in the direction of healing and personal growth; if you feel that you are ready, I will be here to unconditionally support and empower you every step of the way.

Hi, my name is S. Michael Fuller. Call me Mike, Michael, Mr. Fuller, whichever you feel most comfortable with. I am licensed in Oklahoma as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marital & Family Therapist. I consider myself fortunate to have worked in a wide variety of settings (hospital, youth service agency, university setting as a adjunct professor, health department, public schools and private practice )that have allowed me to help people from many walks of life, ages from very young and just getting started in life to the elderly and moving into the latter stages of life. Diagnostic areas include the treatment of Depression, Anxiety, Family of Origin Issues, Attention and Impulsivity, Grief and Loss issues. These are only a few examples of the many issues I have been able to help people with over the years. Each person I have been fortunate enough to work with has helped me grow and improve as a therapist, just as I hopefully can help you as you work to make changes that will help you grow and develop more fully to the vision you have for yourself. My initial goal in working with you is to develop a relationship in which you feel heard and understood, respected and appreciated. Most of the time this happens rather quickly, allowing trust and rapport to grow to the point where we can begin to understand where you are emotionally, where you want to be and working together to use your strengths to get there. This process, sounding so simple, is the core of the therapeutic relationship that allows you to move from a place that simply is not working to one that is. Congratulations, just by reading this you have taken a difficult beginning step towards a life that suits you better than the one you are in now. While I hope to help you in your journey, who you make the journey with is less important than the fact you make it! I look forward to working with you on this journey!

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oklahoma with 15 years of experience helping clients and their families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addiction and recovery, domestic violence and grief/loss. I have experience working with children and families involved in the Child Welfare system. This includes foster and adoptive families, reintegrated biological families and mothers that have had children removed. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have recent experience helping addicts recover from substance and behavioral addictions (pornography, gaming, food). I have served in the US Air Force and I enjoy working with service members and spouses. I understand some of the unique challenges that military families face. My therapeutic style includes Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness/Meditation and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I believe that each client should find the right therapist for them. Do not be afraid to "try out" a few therapists to find a good match! I am honest and forthcoming with my clients. I am gentle and compassionate but I do not "sugar coat" situations. I am usually direct and goal oriented because I want you to make progress and feel better soon! I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. What to expect in the first 1-3 sessions: Typically, the first session is me getting to know you! I will want to know why you are seeking help, what have you tried before and how that worked. I may ask about your upbringing, current family/living situation, employment/education, supports or resources and interests. All of this info is vital for me to help you develop realistic goals and a plan to move forward. Once I get to know you, we can talk more about concerns and issues. This is usually in session 2. We will then work together to create goals and those goals will be on your "site" so you can refer to them anytime. The BetterHelp platform has worksheets and info to help us. Sometimes this is a page to educate clients about a topic, sometimes there are questions to answer etc. Doing this between-the-sessions homework really helps you make progress and ensures that we can use our session time effectively. If you ever have questions or concerns, please let me know! Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 4 years of professional work experience. Before going back to school, I spent 17 years in an agency assisting individuals to meet their education and employment goals. Many of these individuals were experiencing a variety of challenges getting to work or maintaining a job due to past trauma, anxiety, depression, etc. At that time, I did not have the education, training or experience to assist individuals with these challenges. Five years ago, I started on a journey to obtain a Master’s degree as a licensed therapist. I focused my training toward trauma informed care as well as person centered care. My form of therapy consists of guidance and direction in the areas of life where excessive negative thinking patterns affect an individual’s self-actualization. Past trauma experiences often manifest in difficult relationships today. Anxiety and depression can make anyone’s life difficult. I employ various therapy techniques such as CBT, DBT, grief models, and EMDR, to name a few. I assist clients in their search for the most effective technique to improve their quality of life. My experience includes assisting clients who have or are experiencing trauma, abuse, stress, depression, relationship issues, and/or anxiety. I assist clients coping with grief, loss, motivation, self-esteem, and self-confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and honest dialogue where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear, judgment or criticism. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Oilton area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Oilton therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Oilton due to a higher cost of living. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Oilton may not take health insurance, some in the state of Oklahoma may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With BetterHelp or clinicians throughout the state of Oklahoma you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How is a licensed therapist on this online therapy platform verified?

Therapists in Oilton, Oklahoma working on BetterHelp are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited as a doctor of psychology (PhD / PsyD), licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW / LICSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All of these psychology clinicians have a Masters Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field of psychology sciences, and follow the APA Code of Ethics. They have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, they all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy. 

Please note BetterHelp does not offer or provide care from psychiatrists to prescribe a drug as treatment, or perform psychological assessments.

How does working with a counselor in BetterHelp online therapy sessions work?

BetterHelp clinicians treat clients online across the United States (individuals and couples) through life transitions, inner child exploration, long term depression or anxiety, and more. An online mental health professional, including the therapists in Oilton above, can work with young adults, children, adolescents, and adults virtually as an accredited licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) or licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). You do not have to commute to a an office as a psychotherapy client.

Through BetterHelp therapy, you can partake in video, phone, or live chat therapy sessions with your licensed therapist. You can work through various symptoms, use the in app journaling feature, and receive worksheets.

What mental health issues can psychotherapy address?

You may also be struggling with relationship problems that could be addressed in couples therapy or with a sex therapist. In that case, you may choose to work with one of BetterHelp's experienced cognitive-behavioral therapists or licensed marriage family therapists (LMFT) who work with clients in relationships. You can also try a Oilton therapy provider through BetterHelp's sister platform, ReGain, which is dedicated to couples and spouses worldwide. 

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

A psychologist in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Oilton therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words.

With a lot of people in OK, providers may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 74052 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site. No matter if you are seeking help in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Oilton counselor?

Before seeing your therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the therapy process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, let them know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about. They may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what therapy entails. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback and advice. A Oilton licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find through therapy can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles.

Is mental health care and therapy worth it? 

Therapy is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health professional has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Oilton, Oklahoma can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Oilton has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online therapy to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
