Warr Acres, incorporated in 1948, is a relatively new city. Dealing with life’s changes without good mental health keeps you from enjoying the newness of each day. Instead, sadness, frustration, and regret keep you tethered to the problems of the past. The future looks no brighter, because you’re too worried about what might happen next.
You try to manage your everyday chores and responsibilities, but you just don’t feel up to the task. You’re filled with sadness and distress. Without help, the struggle gets very old very fast. Talk to counselor in the Warr Acres area for a new perspective.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a LCSW I am licensed to provide family and individual therapy. I have been a licensed therapist for 7 years. Some of my previous jobs have been teacher, working with developmentally disabled adults for 15 yeas. I also have worked for the State of Oklahoma in Adult Protection Services, Developmental Disabilities and Child Welfare. I have worked with individuals and families who have been involved with Child Welfare investigations. Some of my experiences have been working with individuals with depression, anxiety, emotional and physical abuse, relationship issues. My style is warm and non judgmental. I feel labels limit us but my treatment style can be adjusted to your individual needs. I have used Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR, DBT and even Play therapy and yes even adults can benefit from this. I attend trainings and even at my age I enjoy learning new treatment types. I have enjoyed recently learning about Mindfulness. Mindfulness is as old as the hills. This philosophy or life style has lead me to be more productive recently. I know how difficult it is to reach out for help. By reaching out you are now prepared to work on the issues which are preventing you from enjoying a more rewarding life. Sometimes you feel better just to have someone who will listen to you without judgement and offer occasional advice to help you deal with conflicts. Now you have reached out I look forward to help develop an individual treatment plan and working with you to overcome the problems that have caused you to reach out. *** Please note I do not provide Christian based therapy and I do not identify as Christian in my spiritual beliefs. I do not provide Christian or spiritual based services that include Bible wisdom and prayer.

Find a therapist near you in Warr Acres, Oklahoma
Finding a therapist near you in Warr Acres, Oklahoma starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma, 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 Oklahoma, 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.

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
