I highly recommend finding a therapist in the normal manner and then confirming that they offer telehealth (I suspect most do), as opposed to BetterHelp and all those types of services. I have a great local therapist but if I'm ever not up to or can't come in, we just hop on a video call. It's good to have the option of going in person, even if you don't think you're there yet.
One issue is that I'm not based in the US. I live as an expat in Vietnam and would love to find a good therapist but i have zero experience with this so I'd appreciate any help.
