Hello,
Deciding to enter therapy requires self-awareness and courage. Congratulations on taking this step! About me: I am licensed in Indiana with 6 years of professional work experience as a therapist, and an additional 3 years working in mental health. I enjoy working with clients struggling with stress and anxiety, relationship issues,
motivation, self esteem, confidence, and depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My therapeutic style can best be described as "laid back" and "conversational." I utilize several theoretical orientations, with an emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I will tailor your therapy experience to meet your unique needs.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Super nice man and is truly helping me
He’s great
Ted is a great listener and has good insight.
Obviously I am me...and have my own thoughts and opinions on different people and situations that work best for me. Having said that, Theodore, is right in line with what I would want in a medical professional...easy to talk to, understanding/comfortable conversation style, using topical material to associate and describe the issues and situations I'm dealing with. I'm 100% unbiased as this is my first journey into 'help' but very grateful Theodore got linked up with me.
A wonderful listener and knowledgeable therapist. Great person all around.
Ted is a real person and a professional therapist.
He is amazing and insightful. Very personable and down to earth. I feel that his insights are very valuable and beneficial. Would definitely recommend him
In just a handful of sessions Ted and I have set an easy and affable rapport. I look forward to my sessions every week because I know I am in good hands.
Ted is very friendly and has helped me out a lot in only a few weeks.
Real down to earth guy. Very personable and easy to talk to and get along with.
I've been working with Theodore for a short time but so far it's been great! A genuine professional who seems to be passionate about what he does, with true consideration for his clients.
Theodore Swanson makes me feel very comfortable during our meetings. He listens, takes notes, and pays attention to the big and little details. He's also very open with me which makes me comfortable. I'd recommend him and better help to anyone having difficulties with anything
