ONLINE THERAPY IN OKLAHOMA, KANSAS, AND LOUISIANA

Welcome to Big Sky Counseling, Inc. I’m Liz Fletcher, LCSW.

I empower high achievers, women, and those in helping professions through online therapy. I can help you find freedom from burnout so that you can live the life you want.

Are You Exhausted?

It seems like the same cycles repeat over and over in your life, despite your best efforts to change them.

Perhaps you’ve found yourself, again and again, in relationships where your needs aren’t met. You feel stifled and invisible.

It’s hard to feel fulfilled, even when things are going well.

Maybe you shoot yourself down just when things are starting to work for you.

You’ve worked so hard to succeed in a career you feel passionate about, only to wind up feeling burned out, demoralized, and resentful.

You’ve worked hard to succeed in a career you feel passionate about only to wind up feeling burned out, demoralized, and resentful. If you are experiencing deep exhaustion, grief, or even questioning your role in a helping profession, I can help.

These patterns we feel trapped in point to a need to understand ourselves in a deep way by exploring what these cycles mean to us and how they’ve served us in our lives, in good ways and not so good ways.

Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and had disappointing experiences. My approach to therapy is different, focusing on relationships as agents of healing, rather than on techniques.

I don’t give “homework” or fixate on your symptoms or diagnosis; instead, I listen intently to your story, to what feels most painful and urgent to you, and we work on building up those areas of emptiness or woundedness. That’s not to say that symptoms don’t improve with this kind of treatment: on the contrary, my patients have successfully recovered from suicidal thoughts, self-harm and self-destructive behavior, obsessive-compulsive rituals, out-of-control behaviors, trauma, trust issues, fears of intimacy, chronic depression, panic attacks, and feeling “stuck” or stalled in their lives.

By focusing our attention on what your symptoms may be stemming from, rather than exclusively on the symptoms themselves, we can figure out root causes and discover what things mean.

If you went to a doctor with a fever, and you were diagnosed with “diffuse high body temperature syndrome” and told to take Tylenol, you probably wouldn’t feel you’d gotten very good care, even if the Tylenol did make your fever go away for a while, and the “diagnosis” was technically accurate. But if a doctor isn’t curious about what your fever means—what’s causing your body temperature to rise—they’re not a very effective doctor. Non-judgmental curiosity is our best tool for exploring ourselves, and it’s a tool I can help you develop. Rather than trying to get rid of parts of you that have been labeled “wrong” or “bad,” we’ll work to understand those parts of you as we strengthen the parts of you that have helped you survive and overcome.

How Does This Process Work?

When you contact me by email or phone, I will respond within one business day to set up a time with you to do a brief (15-minute) video call. In this free consultation, I will ask about your needs and expectations (so be sure you’re in a private place!) to see if I’m a good fit for your needs, if our schedules work, etc.

Even if I’m not a good fit, I’ll help you find someone who might be. I have a broad network of colleagues in the Oklahoma City area, and we are committed to making sure that everyone who needs therapy can access it.

If we decide to move forward together, I’ll securely send you a packet of paperwork to fill out and sign. That packet includes information on my prices, policies, and procedures, legal information I’m required to share with you about confidentiality and privacy, payment information, and basic demographic information for your chart.

Once I’ve received that back from you, we’ll be ready to meet! I use HIPAA-compliant Zoom for our sessions. You will have received a room ID and passcode to join the session. If Zoom isn’t working, I will send you a link to another HIPAA-compliant video platform we an use to meet.

The First Session: What Can I Expect?

  • In our first session, I’m most interested in what made you reach out for therapy at this time. I don’t do a formal intake process, so we can focus on what feels most important to you. If I have questions, I’ll ask them, but in general I like to let you explain your situation to me in a way that makes sense for you.

  • Totally normal and not a big deal! If you need guidance, feel free to ask. Lots of people feel awkward—it’s an awkward situation, after all! I’m well aware of that, and I’m happy to ask you some guiding questions if that feels better for you. Our conversation and relationship will build organically from there. There is no “wrong way” to do therapy. Whatever you bring is welcome and important.

  • When you’re ready to feel more confident, more whole, and more truly yourself, contact me for a free consultation.
