How to find the right therapist in Bixby, OK

When choosing a therapist in Bixby, OK, 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.

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?

Understanding online ACT therapy

What is ACT, and how does it work?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help you deal with negative thoughts, feelings, and difficult emotions. It can teach you skills to handle difficult emotions in healthier ways and accept all parts of yourself with compassion. This may help you manage painful thoughts and feelings more constructively, leading to greater self-acceptance and empowerment. Along the way, you’ll gain clarity on what matters most to you and what brings you meaning.

The path looks different for everyone. But by committing to the process, many have found ACT helpful. It can help you build self-acceptance and empowerment from within, boosting flexibility in how you respond to challenges. With practice, you can handle painful thoughts and feelings in ways that serve you better.

ACT may not be the best treatment for your needs. Understanding the process and discussing this treatment method with a mental health professional is important.

Common issues addressed by ACT

Acceptance and commitment therapy can be effective in treating anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health conditions. It offers a compassionate approach to dealing with negative thoughts and emotions, helping people lead a more value-driven and fulfilling life. ACT can equip you with tools to better understand and manage emotional responses.

Potential benefits of online ACT therapy

Online ACT therapy provides the convenience of accessing sessions from where they feel most comfortable and secure, making it a great option for those with busy schedules or limited mobility. It helps people to engage in therapy in a relaxed and familiar environment, which can enhance the therapeutic process. The online format also offers a wider choice of therapists, increasing the chances of finding a therapist who resonates with you.

What to expect during an online ACT therapy session

During an online ACT therapy session, therapists may guide people through mindfulness exercises and help them explore their values and goals. Sessions typically involve learning how to accept and understand difficult emotions and developing strategies for committing to actions that improve well-being. The online setting provides a secure and confidential space for this exploration.

Choosing the right ACT therapist

After you've booked your first session, Rula verifies your insurance coverage and follows up with a cost estimate, including any required copayments.

FAQs about online ACT therapy

How effective is online ACT therapy compared to in-person sessions?

For some people, online ACT therapy can be effective in treating anxiety, depression, stress, and other conditions. Many therapists on the Rula platform have experience adapting ACT techniques for online formats. While some prefer in-person interactions, others find online therapy more convenient and less intimidating, which can help make sessions more effective.

Is ACT therapy right for me?

ACT is often suited for people who struggle with emotional regulation, relationships, or unhealthy coping strategies. It can teach useful skills for handling painful thoughts and feelings in healthier ways. ACT can also guide you to clarify values to build a life of meaning. An ACT therapist can help you decide if this approach fits your needs and goals.

How should I prepare for online ACT sessions?

Preparing for online ACT therapy might evoke anticipation and nervousness, a natural part of starting a new therapeutic journey. ACT encourages embracing thoughts and feelings rather than resisting them.

It’s important to come to each session ready for self-exploration with an open and honest mindset and to engage with whatever comes up, including challenging emotions. Expect some ups and downs. Through it all, your therapist can guide you in aligning actions with values to create the life you want.

How long does ACT therapy typically last?

The duration of ACT therapy is personalized based on each person's unique needs and situations. Some find great benefit within a handful of sessions, quickly learning skills to handle emotional obstacles. However, the duration can vary depending on the individual's needs and goals. ACT therapy may take months to create lasting change for more complex challenges, with therapists customizing the approach.

Are there any requirements for participating in online ACT therapy?

You'll need a private, quiet space for uninterrupted video sessions, a dependable internet connection, and a device with a working webcam and microphone. You can commit to the process by keeping appointments, practicing techniques at home, journaling progress, and regularly discussing challenges with your therapist.
