Starting therapy can feel overwhelming—whether you’re an adult carrying the weight of stress and expectations, or an adolescent trying to make sense of intense emotions, pressure and change. I work with adults and adolescents who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, stress, or self-doubt, and are looking for support that feels both compassionate and practical. My approach is collaborative, warm, and structured. With adolescents, I focus on building emotional awareness, coping skills, and confidence while creating a space where they feel heard and supported. With adults, we work to better understand patterns, develop effective tools, and create meaningful change in daily life. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, gain insight, and build skills that support long-term emotional well-being. I welcome clients who are new to therapy as well as those returning after time away, and I strive to create an environment that feels safe, respectful, and empowering.

Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a mental health counselor LPCC. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression and life transitions. My approach combines warmth, compassion, and evidence-based therapies like CBT. Through the use of evidence- based strategies, we will be able to use a variety of performance skills ranging from mindset and motivation to improving focus and concentration, to developing confidence and mental toughness. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation, a two-sided dialogue with room for reflection, healing and growth.

Most say that I am down to earth and relatable. Building professional rapport is my greatest strength. I am as human as you are and make sure to demonstrate that in session. I often see parts of my own self in others that I work with. I was previously a high school teacher for 14 years before becoming a counselor. And, I’m still a teacher in this role as well. Sessions are geared towards giving you time to express yourself while assigning you “homework” in the form of development of skills to help manage your symptoms. I also throw in some humor and some cordial conversation to help with the development of professional rapport. I specialize in trauma-based therapy and have experience working with individuals who are diagnosed with depression, anxiety, grief, and some personality disorders. I provide a multi-cultural perspective to treatment and adjust treatment related to people’s cultural background. I also provide spiritual direction, which includes traditional forms of faith as well as alternative sources. I understand the courage it takes to come to therapy. It can be nerve racking when coming to your first session. As someone who has been through counseling myself, I respect the courage it takes to take that first step. Whether it’s me or another professional, I hope you are able to get the help you need.

I love working with people in early recovery from addictions, and have my own recovery to base my experiences on. I also love helping people with their own personal struggles and believe everyone is recovering and trying to heal from something! I love using Positive Psychology and Strength-Based therapy to build upon a person's strengths and celebrate what is going right in someone's life, rather than focusing on what is wrong. My hope is to help people "remember who they are" at their core and realize you are more than what is going on with you right now in life! :)

Life is full of change, and sometimes those changes can feel overwhelming. I believe there is no single “right way” to handle life’s challenges, which is why I take a person-centered and integrative approach to therapy. My goal is to help you feel supported and more at ease with where you are while working toward where you want to be. Over the past 10 years, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of approaches including expressive arts therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, yoga, nature-based practices, nutrition, and relationship work. I enjoy bringing creativity and flexibility into sessions so that we can find what works best for you. I have a strong background in helping clients with worry, low mood, and spiritual concerns, and I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable exploring any challenge you’re facing. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Saint Leo University with a specialization in Advanced Clinical Practice. Before that, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication, with minors in Film and Creative Writing. My professional experience spans a variety of settings, including community health centers, private practice, child welfare, schools, nonprofits, and the Department of Veteran Affairs. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time in nature, watching movies, and participating in the arts.

Hi, I’m Sarah! I'm a licensed therapist who offers online therapy for adults in Ohio and Colorado. Many of the people I work with are doing their best — but feel stretched thin, stuck in the same patterns, and unsure of how to calm the noise in their mind and body. In therapy, we’ll gently take a look at what’s going on beneath your patterns — with your stress response, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and the experiences that shaped them. My style is practical and supportive. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness, and I also bring in body-based and energy-psychology tools when they’re helpful — so we’re not only talking about what’s hard, we’re building skills that help you actually feel different over time. I aim to create a space that feels safe, warm, and grounded — where you can understand yourself with more compassion and feel empowered to move toward the life and relationships you most want. Please note: I currently offer remote individual therapy sessions for adults only. I do not provide couples therapy through my therapy practice or through Grow. I do, however, work with couples separately through my coaching practice, which is outside of Grow Therapy. You can learn more about that here: https://sarahschweppe.com/couples-coaching

Every client is unique and is facing their own distinctive challenges. Therefore each treatment plan should be personalized and individualized. An ideal client is one who comes to counseling with an open mind and is ready to try new approaches and coping skills. Each person will benefit differently from a wide variety of approaches. Together we can and will find the right strategies that work best for you. There is not a "normal" or "standard" cookie-cutter path. It is a journey!

Together, we’ll work at your pace to explore what matters most to you and find practical ways to help you feel more balanced, confident, and fulfilled in your day-to-day life.

With over 10 years of experience working with children and youth, I am passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where young people feel seen, heard, and valued. I understand that trust is the foundation of meaningful therapy, and I prioritize building strong, authentic relationships that help children and teens feel comfortable expressing themselves openly. I meet young clients where they are—developmentally, emotionally, and socially—using approaches that are engaging, strengths-based, and responsive to their unique needs. Whether a child is navigating big emotions, anxiety, behavioral challenges, or life transitions, my goal is to foster a sense of safety and connection that allows healing, growth, and confidence to emerge

I’m here to help people find themselves not a new version, but often the version they miss or have been disconnected from. My work centers on authenticity, self-awareness, and helping you take the mask off so you can show up as who you are meant to be in your everyday life. I believe healing is not about becoming someone else, but about reconnecting with who you already are beneath expectations, pressure, and survival patterns. In our work together, I create a space where you can be honest, explore your emotions, and better understand how your experiences have shaped the way you move through the world. I show up as an advocate, a guide, and a collaborator supporting you as you navigate relationships, identity, emotional regulation, and life transitions. My approach is grounded, direct, and compassionate, with a focus on helping you build insight, confidence, and clarity so you can live in alignment with yourself rather than behind a mask. Therapy with me is about growth, accountability, and self-trust. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more secure in who you are, and more intentional in how you show up for your life and the people in it.

I support people from all walks of life, including military, veterans, first responders, teens, adults, and seniors. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to reach out for help, and I want to support that first courageous step. I am a husband, and a father to three grown children. I have led youth groups with middle school and high schoolers. My wife and I have been through the foster care process and then adopted. I am familiar with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). I do not treat RAD but I do support parents and caregivers of children with this diagnosis. I worked as a counselor for ten years prior to licensure listening to people sharing their pain and challenges. After licensure I worked as a medical social worker with patients and family members of chronically ill before becoming a therapist.

I am a woman who grew up in a military family that has moved all around the world and changed many schools growing up. I started my career in juvenile corrections, then addiction studies, then mental health and now integrated healthcare. I specialize in the whole person and encouraging them to be the person they wish to be and seek to be. I have dealt with many adversities in my life as well as many amazing things that have occurred in my life. I use those experiences in my practice to empathize with my clients and remind them that all people experience things differently even if they are the same experiences. Individualized treatment is essential.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Ohio rather than a city like Columbus?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Ohio. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Ohio from Cincinnati to Cleveland! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Ohio.

Will my therapist take Evernorth?

Yes! If you use Evernorth you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Evernorth you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
