Yes. Savannah DiPaola, LPC holds an active therapy license issued by the Ohio State Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. She is legally authorized to provide telehealth therapy to any adult who is a resident of Ohio.

Sessions at Balance You Counseling are $95 for 60 minutes. The practice is private pay — insurance is not billed directly. A superbill is provided so Ohio clients can submit for potential reimbursement through their plan's out-of-network benefits.

Balance You Counseling does not bill insurance directly. Many Ohio clients with PPO plans recover a portion of session costs by submitting superbills to their insurer. If direct insurance billing is essential, Psychology Today's insurance filter is a good way to find in-network Ohio providers.

Yes, for most adults and most concerns. Research consistently shows telehealth therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person therapy — particularly for anxiety, life transitions, and personal growth work. Many Ohio clients find being in their own space actually helps them open up more easily than sitting in an unfamiliar office.

Yes — this is one of the most important things telehealth solves for Ohio. Many rural Ohio counties have very few mental health providers and months-long waitlists. Balance You Counseling can see any Ohio resident via telehealth, regardless of location. No commute, no waitlist.

App-based platforms match you with available therapists through an algorithm — often with shorter sessions, frequent therapist changes, and limited continuity. At Balance You Counseling, you work consistently with one licensed Ohio therapist in 60-minute, depth-oriented sessions. The relationship and continuity are central to how the work actually produces change.

No. Many Ohio clients start without any diagnosis. Anxiety you've never had a name for, a life transition that's left you unsteady, patterns you keep repeating, or just a general sense that something isn't working — none of those require a formal diagnosis. That's enough to start.

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Depth-oriented therapy goes underneath — exploring the history, emotional patterns, and beliefs that drive those thoughts and behaviors in the first place. For Ohio adults who've tried CBT or skills-based approaches and still feel stuck, depth-oriented therapy often makes a significant difference because it works at the root level.
