Ron Henson

Ron Henson

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


A lot of people who reach out for therapy are used to holding things together on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or stuck underneath it all.

They overthink decisions, carry pressure constantly, struggle to slow their mind down, or notice they keep repeating patterns they already understand but still cannot seem to change.

I’m Ron Henson, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and owner of In Situ Counseling & Coaching. My practice helps adults navigate anxiety, burnout, ADHD-related challenges, relationship stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and high-functioning internal pressure through virtual therapy that is collaborative, grounded, and focused on helping things actually make sense in context.

E.T. Townsend

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I offer support and skills to those exploring identity, intimacy, or relational complexity—whether in gender, sexuality, kink, or deocolonized relationships. They may be sitting with grief, unraveling the impact of trauma, or feeling the weight of past experiences in their body. They long for connection but struggle with vulnerability, trust, or belonging. Some feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, while others are questioning the stories they’ve been told about who they are. They seek a space where they can be seen without judgment, process their experiences, and make sense of the systems shaping their lives.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Springfield

Finding the right therapist in Springfield, IL starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, or another area, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific situation can make a meaningful difference. Common credentials to look for include LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, and psychologists — each with distinct training backgrounds and areas of focus.

Beyond specialty, consider the practical details that affect whether you'll stick with care. Location, appointment availability, session format (in-person or virtual), and therapeutic approach all play a role. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good match. Many providers in Springfield also offer a free phone consultation, giving you a chance to connect before committing.

Therapy in Springfield can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use in-network insurance benefits. Verifying your insurance before your first session helps you understand what you'll pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront — and some patients may pay as low as $0 per visit, though costs vary based on location and coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
