Cigna Therapists in Ohio

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and feeling overwhelmed or stuck. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you uncover the answers within yourself while providing support, practical tools, and a safe space to work through what’s getting in the way. I draw from CBT, ACT, and IFS-informed approaches and tailor therapy to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Hi, I’m Kelly. I’ve been working in mental health for over ten years, and one thing I’ve learned is that you don’t need another person talking at you like a doctor, teacher, or expert who has your life all figured out. You need someone who can meet you where you are, understand what you’re going through, and help you figure out where you want to go from there. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and personality disorders, with a particular interest in Borderline Personality Disorder. I’m trained in TF-CBT, DBT, and Somatic Experiencing, and I’m IFS-informed. I draw from these approaches based on what actually makes sense for you rather than forcing everyone into the same treatment model. My style is warm, direct, conversational, and human. I take the clinical side of therapy seriously, but I don’t want therapy to feel clinical. I want you to feel like you’re talking to a real person who happens to know a lot about mental health. I’m unapologetically anti-racist and deeply committed to supporting Black and Brown communities. I have extensive experience working with these communities and believe that race, culture, identity, and lived experience belong in the therapy room. I also recognize that racism, white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, economic inequality, and immigration policy can have very real effects on our mental health. I’m gay myself and genuinely enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationships, family, minority stress, or just want a therapist who gets some of the context you’re coming from, you’re welcome here. Most importantly, you don’t have to show up as a “better” version of yourself. Bring the messy parts. We’ll start there.

I am a licensed Independent Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with adults who experience anxiety, depression, and Trauma. My experience includes working with various populations, such as veterans, adults with disabilities, substance use and recovery, as well as women's issues. I also have a passion for working in the field of gerontology. I have a strong focus on holistic healing, nature, and how we can utilize various treatment modalities for a more balanced and healthier version of self. It can be overwhelming and scary navigating life at times; we can walk through that together.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that taking care of your mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in yourself. Reaching out for help isn’t easy, so I want to start by acknowledging the strength it takes to take that first step. I’ve worked with clients from many walks of life, but my primary focus is helping adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges find clarity, peace, and balance again.

Hi, I'm Barbara Snow. But I prefer to be called Barb. I am an LISW-s. Which is a fancy term for someone who loves to help others help themselves to find solutions to life's challenges. I have a Bachelor and Master of Social Work. I am excited to start a new chapter in my life and begin seeing clients only through telehealth.

Dr. William Barron is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Northwest Ohio, specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychological assessment. Through a reflective and collaborative therapeutic relationship, he helps clients better understand what their distress may be signaling and how it relates to deeper patterns of thought, emotion, and experience. In addition to psychotherapy, Dr. Barron provides comprehensive evaluations, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), substance use, bariatric suitability, pre-employment, and Fitness-for-Duty assessments.

While a deep passion lies in advocating for children and supporting those navigating Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the practice also welcomes adults seeking to process past challenges or better understand their neurodivergent minds. Through convenient, statewide telehealth, premium clinical care meets your family exactly where you are in Ohio—whether balancing school routines or a busy adult work schedule. Throughout almost 8 years in the field, I've worked across various clinical settings such as K-12 schools, medical college, residential facilities, outpatient & community mental health settings, and substance use facilities.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and supervisor who believes therapy should be a place where you can show up as you are. I work primarily with women navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship stress, and hormonal seasons of life. My goal is to help you feel truly known, supported, and equipped to move forward.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just exhausted from trying to hold everything together? You don't have to navigate it alone. I am a LCSW working with teenagers and adults who are ready to break free from cycles of overthinking and self-doubt. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and compassionate. I tailor our sessions to fit your unique needs using practical tools from MI (Motivational Interviewing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy). Together, we’ll build practical tools to help you breathe easier and move forward with confidence. Outside of session, you can find me hiking (with or without my dog), playing volleyball, volunteering in my church, and relaxing at home.

I have been in the field for 20 years now, in different capacities. I have worked 8n addictions, mental health and developmental disabilities. I work with kids, teenager adults and senior citizens. I have worked with military and with first responders. When you are working with me, your the one who makes the choices such as different types of counseling, and what we talk about on that particular day. I am always learning and growing my skills. I also have a faith based background so we can or do not have to incorporate that into our sessions.

I graduated with my Masters in Social Work and Trauma Certificate from Simmons University in 2022. I previously worked as a crisis counselor providing care to both adults as well as children and families. During this time I saw a small caseload of adult clients until 2024 before transitioning to working as a community based therapist providing care to youth with problematic sexual behaviors. In 2025 I started to build up my caseload of EMDR clients and transitioned to office based work. I am extremely passionate about my work with EMDR and will nerd out when given the opportunity to share it. I take a holistic approach when working with clients and try to bring in body based and ego state techniques as well. I like to help make my clients feel that we are on equal footing (because P.S. I am also human) and recognize that they are the expert in their life and know themselves best. I do my best to be as transparent as possible without crossing boundaries. It is my priority when working with clients is to support them in a way that helps them feel comfortable and safe to explore themselves and achieve their goals.

I believe everyone has the ability to grow, heal, and create meaningful change with the right support! As a Licensed Independent Social Worker and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor, I provide a warm, encouraging, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable just being yourself. I meet you where you are, tailoring therapy to your unique needs and goals while helping you build on your strengths.

You may be someone who looks like you have it together from the outside, but inside you’re tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or wondering why the things that used to work for you just aren’t working anymore. Maybe you’re the person everyone else depends on, and you’re not quite sure where you get to put your own stuff. I work especially well with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, major life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply trying to understand themselves better. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have already done a lot of reflecting but want help turning that insight into something that actually changes how life feels. I also work with a number of fellow therapists and helping professionals. At any given time, roughly 10% of my caseload is made up of clinicians who need a place where they do not have to be the therapist, supervisor, helper, or expert. They get to simply be the client. Another area I care deeply about is supporting women navigating perimenopause and the changes that can come with it. When your mood, energy, sleep, concentration, or sense of self suddenly feels different, it can be hard to know what belongs in the therapy room and what needs medical attention. I can help you sort through what you are experiencing, prepare for conversations with healthcare providers, and feel more confident advocating for your own health. You don’t need to come to therapy with the right words or a perfectly defined goal. We can start with what’s happening now and figure it out together. Note: I provide all services in a virtual setting.

I am an African American female with a strong educational and professional foundation in both mental health and business. I earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from South University and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Cleveland State University. My combined educational background and life experience have shaped my understanding of human behavior, emotional triggers, coping mechanisms, and the importance of healthy boundaries. I am committed to helping individuals feel seen, heard, and understood while supporting them in developing practical tools for emotional and personal growth.

I’m Kaitlin Nitz, a licensed professional clinical counselor and supervisor (LPCC-S) providing virtual therapy to clients in Ohio. I help people navigate anxiety, depression, difficult experiences, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and direct when helpful. Together, we’ll build on your strengths and shape therapy around your goals, needs, and everyday life. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we begin.

If life feels heavy right now, you don’t have to carry it alone. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, self-doubt, burnout, relationship challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a place to finally exhale, feel understood, and begin moving forward with clarity and confidence. I believe healing starts with feeling safe, seen, and genuinely supported. As a compassionate and engaged therapist, I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure to “have it all together.” Together, we’ll explore the patterns, experiences, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck, while creating practical, meaningful change that helps you feel more grounded and empowered in your daily life. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, but also honest and growth-oriented. I’ll gently challenge you when needed, helping you step beyond survival mode and into a deeper understanding of yourself, your strengths, and what you truly need to thrive. You don’t have to navigate this season of life on your own. Change is possible, and you deserve support that helps you feel more connected, confident, and aligned with who you are. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

I am a dedicated behavioral health professional with 19 years of experience working in the mental health and addiction field. Working to help guide others with their battles with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction.

Hi, my name is Tishina and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. For the past eight years, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood changes, and the challenges that come with everyday problem solving. I became a therapist because therapy changed my life. It helped me heal, find my voice, and believe in myself and now I'm passionate about offering that same support and hope to the people that I work with.

You do not have to face your struggles without hope. If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, shame, or relationship challenges, I believe healing can begin when you have a safe place to be honest and reconnect with your faith. I am a clinical mental health counselor who sees counseling as a calling and ministry, not simply a career. I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples and families in addiction treatment, private practice, community agencies, and correctional settings, giving me experience supporting people through some of life’s most difficult seasons.

I believe therapy should not only help you feel better, but also give you skills that last beyond our sessions.

I'm naturally curious and creative in my thinking, and I often incorporate psychoeducation to help clients better understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences. While I take my clients and their struggles seriously, I also believe there is room for humor and lightness in the healing process when the moment calls for it. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you recognize your strengths, build confidence in yourself, and rediscover hope.
