Therapists in Ohio

Finding Psychologists, Therapists, and Counselors in Ohio

Finding a therapist in Ohio is easiest in the city of Columbus. Online therapy may be a good option if you live in more rural areas or if a therapist with a particular specialty is not located near you. 

Out of pocket costs for therapy in Ohio will run between $100 - $130+ per session. For couples counseling and family therapy, costs might start at $100 - $150+ per session. First appointments with a therapist tend to be a little longer and may cost a little more. Also, it’s important to note that specialized services can cost more.

There are currently over 29,000 counselors working in Ohio with licenses, including Licensed Independent Social Workers (LISW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), and Psychologists (Ph.D. and Psy.D.). 

If you think you might qualify for free or reduced-cost services from the state, take a look at the MHA.Ohio website and/or see if you qualify for Medicaid.

Licensed clinicians (and even interns) are held to strict practice guidelines to protect clients. If you’d like to learn more about identifying and reporting misconduct, learn more here.
