Rebecca Grissom
Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have spent my career in the Social Work field serving a diverse clientele. This past 8 years I have worked in the mental health field as a therapist. My treatment focus has been with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents. I use the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy model, Person-Centered approach, along with Solution-focused model, with an emphasis on mindfulness. Eco-therapy, or integrating nature into treatment, I believe, helps in the healing, re-energizing process. Each client is unique, with their own story to tell, so counseling is tailored to your needs and goals. Best hopes on your journey!

Andrea Mitchell
Hello I’m Andie, and I’d love to spend some time with you. In my experience as a human being, I have come to recognize that there is a vital connection between what we believe about ourselves and how we choose to respond to our circumstance. There is no shame in wanting to have your needs met, and I would be honored to partner with you on your journey to a balanced state of being. I spent my early years in an alcoholic home, and it took me the greater part of my young adulthood to recognize the impact this had on my interactions and relationships. After running that gauntlet alone, my purpose became educating myself and inspiring others to meet their needs in healthy ways. I have since worked with many clients undergoing a variety of circumstances including depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship trouble, substance abuse, parenting difficulties, and childhood trauma. My conversational style is unique and interactive, and my counseling style is customized to meet your circumstances. Whomever you chose to work with, do not stop fighting for the version of yourself that you deserve. With Love, Andie

Lindsay Kane
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas working in private practice. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, attachment trauma, LGBTQIA+ population, advocacy, autism, and parent-child interactive therapy. One of my passions is helping patients access their own power, finding solutions that work for the individual person or family, and helping people from a systemic and advocacy-based perspective. My therapy style is warm, kind, and humanistic. I believe that everyone is capable and powerful, and I don't believe everyone should be labeled unless it helps them find explanation or identity for wellness. My approach combines solution-focused, trauma therapy, and belief in the person and the path they choose for their treatment to take. It takes courage to seek solutions for yourself or your family and to take the first steps in a positive direction. If you are ready to rediscover your power, remember that you are capable of hard things, and choose solutions that work for you, I am ready and willing to help you, your children, or your family. I can't wait to meet you, and look forward to working together towards goals that work for you. Just remember how capable you are!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
When should I get a therapist in Texas?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover the cost of therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy the safe option?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
