1. Know if you want in person therapy or online therapy

Knowing if you want in-person or online therapy can make it easy for everyone. 

In-person Therapy

If you want in-person therapy, consider how far you're willing to travel and what is realistic for you. If you want in person, go to Google Maps and search under "search near me" in the area where you want to travel. Many skilled, old-school therapists who prefer to remain under the radar may not be listed on maps. 

This website resource may help you discover these valuable professionals. As the saying goes, they just don’t make them like that anymore, so it’s worthwhile to seek them out.

Online Therapy

Ok so say you don't want in-person therapy. You want to go online. Then, what you have to do is if you have insurance, call your insurance and see what it will cover and what geographical areas it will cover. I have Greenshield, and it covers all of US, so if I decide to go for a therapist in the states, the therapist is covered. 

Whether or not the therapist will see me is another issue, because their license might restrict them, but that's for another conversation. If you don't have insurance, you need to decide how much you can afford or want to invest in therapy. I'll expand on this later or hyperlink it when the content is available.
