What is Mental Health Counseling and How Can it Help Me?
Mental health counseling is a safe, supportive space to talk with a licensed therapist about your life and well-being. Counseling can help you:
Explore your thoughts and emotions
Manage stress and everyday challenges
Build healthy coping strategies
Strengthen relationships and communication
Support personal growth and self-confidence
Improve overall mental and emotional health
Counseling isn’t only for times of crisis—it’s a proactive step toward living with balance, clarity, and resilience.
Is Virtual Counseling as Effective as In-Person?
Yes — research shows that virtual counseling can be just as effective as in-person sessions. Online therapy gives you the same level of support, guidance, and connection with a licensed therapist, but with the added convenience of meeting from home, work, or wherever you feel comfortable. Many people find that virtual counseling makes it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into their schedule, and open up in a familiar environment.
What is a Counseling Session Like with B&G (Breanna)?
A counseling session with Breanna is relaxed, supportive, and focused on you. Sessions are a safe space to talk about what’s on your mind—whether it’s stress, relationships, life transitions, or just needing clarity. Breanna takes a collaborative approach, meaning you set the pace and goals, while she offers guidance, coping strategies, and tools tailored to your needs. Every session is about helping you feel heard, understood, and equipped to move forward with confidence.
How Does Virtual Counseling Work with Insurance?
Virtual counseling is usually covered by insurance the same way as in-person therapy. Most insurance plans recognize online sessions as “telehealth” or “teletherapy,” and you’ll typically pay the same copay or coinsurance you would for an office visit. At B&G, we verify your benefits up front so you know exactly what’s covered and what your costs might be—no surprises. If your plan doesn’t cover virtual counseling, we’ll walk you through other payment options so you can still get the support you need.
Is Mental Health Counseling Right for Me?
If you’re feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to, mental health counseling could be a great fit. Counseling isn’t only for crisis situations—it’s for anyone who wants support, perspective, and tools to navigate life’s challenges. A licensed therapist can help you understand your thoughts and emotions, build healthy coping skills, improve relationships, and work toward personal growth. If you’re looking to prioritize your emotional well-being, counseling is a proactive step that can make a real difference.
How Many Counseling Sessions Will I Need?
The number of counseling sessions varies depending on your goals, challenges, and progress. Some people benefit from just a few sessions to gain clarity and learn coping strategies, while others find ongoing support helpful for deeper personal growth or managing long-term stress, anxiety, or life changes. At B&G, Breanna works with you to create a plan that fits your needs, adjusting the frequency and length of sessions as you move forward. Counseling is a flexible, personalized process designed to help you achieve real results at your own pace.
What Should I Expect During My First Session?
During your first session with B&G, you can expect a relaxed and welcoming environment where you’ll feel heard and understood. Breanna will take time to get to know you, learn about your goals, challenges, and what brought you to counseling. Together, you’ll discuss how sessions work, set initial goals, and explore strategies to start addressing your concerns. The first session is all about building trust, understanding your needs, and creating a personalized plan to support your emotional well-being and personal growth.
