Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Hi, glad you're here! My name is Mariko, and I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating grief, anxiety, family conflict, relationship concerns, and the impact of earlier life experiences that continue to show up in the present.

I have experience working with clients across the lifespan, from children through adults, though I especially enjoy working with young adults as they work through relationships, identity, and major life transitions. My background includes supporting clients through trauma, grief and loss, mood-related concerns such as depression and anxiety, and challenges related to self-esteem and body image.

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction, or relationship issues? Are you looking for a safe and judgement-free environment where you can share your problems and concerns? If so, then let’s get to work!!! Life is too short to surrender to toxic relationships, let trauma consume you, continue to be anxious or be depressed. You deserve to live a life full of peace and joy. Let’s work together to help you develop healthy coping skills and find meaningful purpose in your family, friendships, work, spirituality, and all other life areas.

My specialty includes working with adolescents, adults, couples and family units. I help motivate them with evidenced based interventions. This helps to improve their overall emotional health, relationships and walk in purpose. My specialty also includes treating those who struggle with depression, anxiety and trauma as a result of abuse, neglect & loss.

I appreciate and honor diversity in all aspects and love working with clients from all sorts of backgrounds, including those who are not religious/spiritual. However, I'm open to applying biblical principles in therapy by request.

Stephanie Krawec

Stephanie Krawec

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


I became a therapist because I believe our struggles deserve to be understood, not just fixed. Too often, people come to therapy feeling like a problem to be solved or a checklist to work through, and that's exactly what I want to push back against. My goal is to help you feel more human, not more clinical.

I earned my Master's in Social Work from Northern Kentucky University in 2014 and hold a certificate in ADHD treatment. I work with adults navigating ADHD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder, and I bring both professional training and personal familiarity to these areas. I know this stuff isn't abstract. It shows up in real life, in real ways, every day.

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Hi! I’m Jackie. I want to start by saying thanks for being here. I feel deeply honored to have the privilege to serve others as a clinical social worker. Being with people as they share their experiences, thoughts, and feelings is a role I cherish immensely.

I started my career in the mental health field in 2019. I served my community in Southern Indiana as clinical therapist at a community mental health center working with adults, adolescents, and children as they navigated relationships, stress, life changes, difficult and traumatic experiences, feelings of depression and anxiety, along with other presenting problems. I also held roles in non-profit work as a clinical supervisor and treatment director, supervising other therapists as they served clients in the community.

I am trained in and draw from evidence-based interventions including Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Seeking Safety, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy. I also pull from training in Nurturing Parenting, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, Risking Connection, and Celebrating Families.

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 Kentucky

Searching for therapists in Kentucky starts with finding someone whose training and experience match what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to narrow your search by concern, specialty, and care style. You might look for a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format also matter when comparing Kentucky therapists. If you live near Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or a mix of both fits your schedule best. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

The cost of mental health care in Kentucky varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process clearer by letting you enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and find therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search. Browse therapists in Kentucky, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

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