Hello and welcome! It is common to have hesitations and apprehensions about seeking help, so congratulations for taking that giant first step! By working together, I am hoping to help you find a sense of relief, and confidence to meet life’s challenges head on. I have worked in the mental health profession for 12 years, and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 9 years. In that time, I have worked with adolescents, adults, and couples, who are experiencing a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, domestic violence, relationship issues, trauma and grief, just to name a few. I strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment for clients, with a nonjudgmental space for you to draw on your own strengths to create the life you desire. My approach to therapy is person centered with Cognitive Behavioral techniques, while working alongside clients to develop an individualized treatment plan to meet their unique needs. You are your own expert, and I want to help facilitate growth and empower you to work through life’s issues in a healthy way. I am looking forward to working with you!

Jonetta Wakely
As a licensed professional counselor, I believe in meeting clients on a level playing field as each client has a unique and personal understanding of themselves and is an expert in their own lives. I look to my clients to educate me on what is important to them and how we might best work together to reach a positive outcome. My fundamental belief is that most people are doing the best they can at any given point in their life and there are straight forward reasons for doing what they choose to do. I don’t get bogged down in talking about good or bad, right or wrong, or he said she said but rather what are more effective choices in creating a life worth living. I am extensively trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). CBT is the number one therapeutic modality in the world bar none and was developed by Dr. Aaron Beck. I had the good fortune to receive 160 hours of advanced training by the Beck Institute. I also am certified (C-DBT) in Dialectical Behavior Therapy developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan where the focus is on making decisions about what will work effectively for you and what is not effectively. Information on both CBT and DBT are available online to help you make an informed decision on how best to move forward in your goals and in your life.

Jacob "Jake" Willard
I am an LPC in Oklahoma with 4 years of professional work experience seeing individual adult clients in both a private practice and agency setting. I work from a relational/psychodynamic model of therapy, which tends to put an emphasis on the relationship between client and therapist as the main agent of change. The type of therapy I offer tends to benefit those that are wanting to take a closer look at themselves, their relational patterns, and how these patterns might contribute to their current emotional distress. When working with clients, I'm hoping to come alongside them to understand their personal experiences, and help them work towards change that feels meaningful to them. I know starting the therapy process can be difficult, and sometimes the first step feels like the hardest. If you're wanting to start your own process, or aren't sure where to start, please feel free to reach out.

Hello, I'm Rebecca, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges.

As someone who believes in the power of resilience and self-discovery, I am passionate about empowering clients to recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve a sense of balance and fulfillment. Whether you're seeking support for a specific issue or looking to build a stronger sense of self, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey. Let’s work together to create the life you envision.
Todd Smetana
I have worked in the psych field for 20 years, and doing therapy for the last 7 years. My goal is to help you understand what you are dealing with and how to manage those struggles successfully and naturally. Being older, I have learned how to communicate with my clients with grace and understanding and serve as a guide to help you.
Samantha Guilfoyle-Miller
Many people spend so much of their time caring for others that they forget they deserve support too. You may appear to have everything together on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck on the inside. If that sounds familiar, you don’t have to carry it all alone anymore. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals facing anxiety, OCD, ADHD, grief, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can be completely yourself—without fear of judgment—and begin reconnecting with who you are beneath the weight of life’s challenges. I believe healing begins when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I don’t believe you’re broken or need to be “fixed.” Instead, we’ll work together to better understand what you’re experiencing, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and develop practical tools that help you heal, grow, and move forward with greater confidence and self-compassion. My passion for this work is deeply personal. I have experienced grief(through the loss of my father), anxiety, OCD, and ADHD myself, so I understand how lonely and overwhelming mental health struggles can feel. I even see my own therapist regularly to ensure I am able to provide the best quality of therapy to my clients. While everyone’s journey is unique, those experiences have strengthened both my empathy and my commitment to providing care that is grounded in professional expertise and genuine human connection. Taking the first step toward therapy isn’t always easy, but it can be one of the most meaningful investments you make in yourself. Wherever you are in your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you discover hope, healing, and the life you deserve.

Find a therapist near you in Talala, Oklahoma
Finding a therapist near you in Talala, 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.
