Michael Hotz

Michael Hotz

Therapist

Virtual • Nebraska


I’m a licensed professional counselor with more than 30 years of experience working with adults and individuals facing complex mental-health and behavioral challenges. My background includes community mental health, schools, correctional mental health, substance-use treatment, and work with veterans and underserved populations.

My counseling style is straightforward, conversational, practical, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy works best when we can have an honest conversation about what is happening in your life and then work together on realistic changes that fit your situation.

I have a particular interest in gambling addiction and behavioral addictions, including helping people understand the patterns behind compulsive behaviors and develop strategies for managing urges, triggers, thoughts, and relapse risk. I also work with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and other behavioral and mental-health issues.

I draw from CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and relapse-prevention strategies, adapting the approach to the individual rather than relying on one method for everyone.

You don't need to know exactly what you need from therapy before starting. We can begin by identifying what's going on, what you would like to change, and what practical steps can help you move forward.

My goal is to provide a safe, respectful environment where you can be yourself, talk openly, and make meaningful progress.

Jody Johnson

Therapist

Virtual • Grand Island, NE


Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or weighed down by experiences they’ve carried for far too long. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns rooted in early attachment wounds, or the lingering impact of trauma. Others are navigating life transitions, loss, or changes in identity that leave them uncertain about their next steps. At the core, most are seeking relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of themselves. They want to feel more regulated, more confident, and more capable of moving through daily life without being held back by old patterns or emotional pain.

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 Nebraska

Searching for therapists in Nebraska starts with finding someone whose training and specialties match what you want support with. Options can vary across urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look for a therapist who has experience with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or major life changes. As you compare profiles, review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and areas of focus to see whether their background fits your needs.

Location and format also shape your search across Nebraska. You may want an in-person therapist near Omaha, Lincoln, or Grand Island, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit your schedule from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they communicate, what sessions may look like, and whether their approach feels like a practical fit before you book.

The cost of mental health care in Nebraska varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Nebraska therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
