Need a Therapist

So, long story short, I need to see a therapist. The problem is, I don't have insurance. I'm trying to find a job that offers health insurance, but right now I'm just working at Target as a seasonal employee, which means that my health benefits are non-existent.
I've had some problems with depression in the past, and a few months ago I moved across the state to live with my new boyfriend. I've had a lot of trouble adjusting to live here. I have no support system, and I have been having issues with anxiety, which has lately been manifesting itself as anger if I let it go for too long. It's putting a real strain on my relationship, to the point where he's not sure he wants to be with me anymore if I don't get some help. I don't know what to do, but I've got to try something.
I live in Ohio, if that matters at all. Does anyone have any suggestions as to inexpensive or free therapy options that I could look into? I'd be happy to discuss the specific issues I've been having if necessary to help narrow my options down.
Thanks in advance, H/A.

You could always call a hotline if you really need to talk to someone, those are always free and they may be able to refer you to a local option. I don't know any numbers off the top of my head, but you should be able to find some through google. Just search for "depression hotlines" or something like that.
I wholeheartedly agree that if you are a student, utilize the counseling services on campus. At mine, they usually do around 6, and if you are in need of more counseling they should be able to provide you with therapists around the area.
Also, many therapists do a sliding scale for people who don't have insurance.
