Choosing the Right Online Mental Health Counselor: A Comprehensive Guide

In today’s fast-paced world, finding the right mental health support is crucial. The digital age has brought forth a multitude of options, making it easier than ever to connect with a mental health counselor online. However, the abundance of choices can be overwhelming. How do you select the counselor who’s right for you? This comprehensive guide aims to demystify the process, helping you make an informed decision and find the perfect online mental health counselor tailored to your needs.

1. Determine Your Needs:

Start by understanding what you need from counseling. Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or something else? Knowing your specific requirements will help you find a counselor with the right expertise.

2. Check Qualifications:

Ensure that the counselor you choose is licensed and accredited. Look for degrees, certifications, and affiliations with reputable counseling organizations. Licensing ensures that the counselor has met the necessary standards and is qualified to provide professional mental health services.

3. Consider Specializations:

Mental health is a diverse field, and counselors often specialize in certain areas such as trauma, addiction, or family therapy. Find a counselor whose specialization aligns with your needs for targeted and effective support.

4. Read Reviews and Testimonials:

Browse through reviews and testimonials from previous clients. This firsthand feedback can provide valuable insights into the counselor’s approach, effectiveness, and bedside manner.

5. Evaluate Communication Style:

Effective communication is key to successful therapy. Consider the counselor’s communication style, both written and spoken. It should resonate with you and make you feel comfortable and understood.

6. Assess Availability and Scheduling:

Consider your schedule and time zone when choosing a counselor. Look for someone whose availability aligns with your free time. Additionally, check if they offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your needs.

7. Explore Therapy Formats:

Online counseling can take various forms, including video calls, phone calls, chat-based therapy, or a combination of these. Choose a format that you’re comfortable with and ensures a seamless therapeutic experience.

8. Verify Privacy and Security Measures:

Ensure the platform or website used for counseling sessions prioritizes your privacy and data security. Look for end-to-end encryption and confidentiality policies to safeguard your personal information.

9. Trust Your Instincts:

Finally, trust your instincts. If a counselor doesn’t feel like the right fit after your initial session, don’t hesitate to explore other options. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for effective counseling.

By following these guidelines, you can navigate the process of choosing an online mental health counselor with confidence. Remember, finding the right counselor is a crucial step toward better mental health, and with the right support, you can embark on a transformative journey towards emotional well-being and fulfillment.

PTSD Therapy

New Post has been published on http://stcroixsupport.com/e-counseling/ptsd-therapy/

PTSD Therapy

PTSD Counseling

PTSD is real and with therapy you can lead a normal life. People who have PTSD may find themselves feeling helpless since the effects of the condition can leave a person in a state of despair, loneliness, and depression. The symptoms of PTSD need to be addressed at the right time, and at my clinic or online, I extend helping hands to people who may wish to turn their lives around by reducing the effects of PTSD. Through the therapy services, patients can experience quick healing and recovery, and that is possible since I create an environment which enables people to turn their thinking away from the unwanted emotional disturbances that accompany PTSD condition.

For me, working closely together with the patient is seen as a way in which quick healing results can be achieved. The e-counseling platform creates the basis of an interactive interaction between patient and therapy professional, and that approach ensures that I can maintain an active routine check of any patient I am dealing with. Besides, I use the e-counseling platform as an educative tool to spread awareness about PTSD, and how its symptoms can be noticed at the right time before they take a bad direction.

CPTSD Ne te rend pas faible. Ça te fait un survivant- DaShanne Stokes

(“P.T.S.D. doesn’t make you weak. It makes you a survivor.”)

Counseling Made Easy…

PTSD is a condition that can be brought about by many factors. For instance, domestic violence, physical and emotional abuse, grave accidents, sexual abuse, poor parenting, drug abuse, neglects, loss of loved ones, and a host of many other factors including battle. Quick recovery from PTSD depends on understanding the nature of the condition and applying the right remedy. I use the best techniques available to examine patients, and in return provide counseling sessions that can ensure that the affected persons gets through the conflicts. The counseling sessions are in manageable schedules, and online counseling sessions ensure that patients can receive any help they need even when they are far away from the counselors.

People who have experienced traumatic life events show self-loathing characteristics, emotional disturbances, and repetitive patterns of unreasonable conflicts at personal and interpersonal relations. Some victims may even contemplate transferring some of the life pains unto other not knowing that such thinking may affect people whom they love. My counseling strategy begins with addressing the cause of the underlying problem and make a patient come to terms with the state of trauma. The approach enables me to draw a working plan that can enable patients to redefine their thinking and focus on how they can get over the emotional guilt, regret, and pain that accompanies PTSD conditions. For quick results, I am responsive to the needs of the patients and do demonstrate a knowledgeable level of how to deal with different PTSD conditions.

Get in touch now

 I know it is often difficult for people to reach out and ask for help. The one thing that helps most people through any difficult situation is to be able to talk to someone about it in a confidential and non judgmental way.

Writing with Depression

All right, so. I debated whether or not to write a post like this since it's pretty personal and I'm not too used to blogging anymore. But if it helps even one person? Hell, why not.

Writing with depression can be hell. If you ever had writer's block because of your brain telling you it's not worth it anyway, or because of anxiety telling you that you're gonna fail no matter what you do, you know how hard it can be to overcome any negative feelings regarding your writing – especially when everything you do is so closely linked to who you are as a person. Your brain just tells you it's the same, and when you "fail"? You are a failure of a human being.

That’s not true, of course. Depression, anxiety, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (especially when you have ADHD), they're all liars. And I can tell you: it gets better. So infinitely better.

But first it gets worse, and we have to endure.

When I first started writing ten years or so ago, I simply needed it. It was my outlet and my refuge from a world that overwhelmed me after one of my dreams – becoming an actress – was crushed. That was long before the depression that was creeping up on me really took the wind out of my sails. I didn't manage to focus on my studies. I didn't maintain my relationships. I lived secluded and didn't care much for other people. What I didn't realize was that these were the first symptoms. What I also didn't realize was that burying myself in my writing for 18+ hours a day to avoid any responsibility was anything but healthy.

It went on, I wrote two (fan) books with my best friend, but my life was just – gone. And the moment my friend died, my joy in writing went with her. I could no longer find joy in anything, and the depression that had just been waiting for me to slip up pulled me down into the water. There I was, unable to think straight, full of self-loathing, fear, and not even my writing was able to save me then. Still, I threw myself into it. It wasn’t joy that drove me now. It was an obsession. My life, my person, they were both completely gone. Dissolved into letters in the water. And I wasn’t strong enough yet to face this sad truth; I was still grasping at straws that were unable to hold my weight to pull me out of the deep.

As soon as I had exhausted the murderous path of the perhaps most violent and hurt character that I have ever created – a mirror of my own struggles – I simply… stopped. I couldn’t flee the depression anymore. There was no joy, not even an obsession anymore. I had to acknowledge that it was either therapy or the bleak nothing that my life had become. The choice was easy. Still, I didn’t want to stop the one thing that had kept me going for so long. But it was no use.

Writing had become a chore, and my mind did not have room for chores.

So how does it get better? How did I – how can anyone find joy in what kept them alive for so long when even that is taken from them by this illness? I can’t claim to know a universal answer, of course. But one thing, maybe the most important thing while you’re seeking help (therapy or medication alike) is this: you are not your writing. Your worth as a person is not defined by your creative output.

There are some things we can do to ease the pressure that our mind puts on us. As writers, I think we owe it to ourselves to empower our own tactics of how we operate, how we maneuver depressive episodes and sparks of anxiety. Nothing of this “just think positive”-crap, no. We all know that this isn’t really helping anyone.

Seek help. This is paramount. If you can’t afford a therapist/psychologist due to your country’s healthcare, there are online resources, for example eCounseling, but I am sure there are more, and even more affordable ones than that.

Learn to be kind to yourself. Learn to recognize the patterns that imprison you in self-doubt and that keep telling you that your worth is determined by what you do.

You’ve already got your hands full now, right? So at this point, one thing you should tell yourself: don’t sweat it. Your writing will come back to you, and with a mind that’s working better than before? It will come to you in vibrant colors you never knew you could see down there in the water. So keep it easy.

If you feel the urge to write return, again: take it step by step! Don’t set absurd goals like 1k words a day! I’m at 1k a week, maybe in two weeks because I simply can’t afford to lose the joy in my writing again. Take something small, manageable. Something you can do while you’re still recovering.

You do NOT have to write every day. You are not less of a writer if you take your time. Do you know how long it took Tolkien to write The Lord of the Rings? He needed 12 years to write this series. It took another eight years until it was published. You have time.

You always have time to care for yourself. Don’t let capitalism tell you that you’re doing “nothing” when you’re not creating or working a dayjob. You do you. You’ve got enough on your plate.

And I think… that’s it. These points all sound so terribly easy, right? But it took me ten years to grasp it. Ten years! So whatever you do, you need to be patient. You need to be kind to yourself where your depression is not. Try imagining it as either a small child that’s overwhelmed, so you can talk to it and try to help it by being kind to the little one. Or maybe depression is a villain for you? A disgusting snail that keeps slithering up your legs, holding you back? Throw salt on it – and not only in the literal sense. Be snarky, be moody, be everything you need to be to find back to yourself.

Most of all: you matter; your stories matter. You will get them out of your system as soon as you’re ready. And then they will be glorious.
