How to find the right therapist in Maine

When choosing a therapist in Maine, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you: Do they accept your insurance? Do you need a therapist who specializes in a specific mental health concern such as depression, anxiety, or trauma? Are you looking for someone to work with you individually? Or are you looking for someone to support you as a couple or family? Would you be more comfortable partnering with a therapist of a certain race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious, or cultural background?

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment. Ready to get started? Click here to browse available therapists who accept your insurance.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns – all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist. Still unsure? Head to our blog to learn more.

What should I consider when choosing a therapist?

It depends on your personal preferences and goals. Whether you’re seeking a therapist who specializes in certain mental health conditions, shares your ethnic background, or is available to meet at your preferred time – Rula makes it easy to search and filter by what matters most to you. If you don’t feel like your first choice was a match, don’t worry – we’ll help you switch to a different therapist in our network. Check out our blog post for more pointers on finding your best-fit therapist.

How do I know if I need therapy or psychiatry?

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning, you may want to consider starting with a psychiatric provider who can assess your needs and prescribe medication if deemed necessary. If your symptoms are mild or moderate, therapy may be a better starting point. No matter where you begin your journey – your provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s based on your individual needs and concerns. Still unsure? Visit our blog to learn more about the differences.

“I encourage clients to shift their perspective by recognizing that anger is often a protective response to unresolved trauma, and learning to process and express it can be a key step in healing and regaining control.”

– Brandy Chalmers, LPC

“I wish more people knew that anger and sadness are closely connected. Sometimes, when anger feels too strong, it comes out as tears instead of yelling or fighting. Crying doesn’t mean your anger isn’t real — it’s just another way to show your feelings.”

– Brandy Chalmers, LPC

View article

“Anger can often feel more accessible than other emotions because it offers a sense of control, while emotions like fear or sadness often bring vulnerability. In therapy, people can safely explore what’s underneath their anger and begin to understand the deeper feelings driving it. This process builds emotional awareness and helps create healthier, more empowered ways to respond.”

Understanding online therapy for anger management

Anger management and its role in daily life

Anger is a natural emotion, but frequent or intense feelings of anger can have a negative impact on your relationships, work, and overall well-being. Effective anger management is crucial for maintaining healthy interactions and emotional balance. The goal of anger management is to help you recognize and control anger triggers before they escalate so you can express anger in healthy, non-destructive ways.

The importance of therapy in managing anger

Therapy plays a key role in understanding and managing anger. Professional therapists can help you identify the underlying causes of your anger and develop strategies to respond to anger triggers more constructively. Addressing anger through therapy can prevent it from negatively impacting your life and relationships. It can also promote emotional growth, improved communication skills, and better stress management.

Common therapeutic approaches for anger management

Therapists can use various methods to help manage anger effectively. For example:
