Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


For 30 years, I've been in the room with people who were tired of the same cycles — anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in grief, or strained in their closest relationships — and wanted something to actually change. I'm an LPC licensed in Alabama offering telehealth sessions, and I work with individuals, families, and adolescents on a wide range of life challenges. What you'll get with me is straightforward: an experienced counselor who is direct without being cold, solution-focused without being dismissive of what you've been through, and genuinely invested in helping you build tools that last.

Once the diagnostic evaluation is complete, I provide appropriate referrals tailored to each client’s needs—whether that includes specialized therapy/treatment, psychiatry for medication management/evaluation, or other supportive services.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Alabama

Searching for therapists in Alabama starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. Across the state, options vary between larger areas like Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile and more rural communities. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, or trauma. As you compare Alabama therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and listed experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, what sessions may focus on, and which concerns they often support.

Location, scheduling, and format also matter when choosing a therapist in Alabama. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility across the state. If you live outside larger metro areas, virtual therapy may give you more options than a local-only search. Before booking, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can help you compare communication style, session structure, and approach before you decide.

The cost of therapy in Alabama varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who accept insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your specific location. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
