With eight years of experience on the BetterHelp platform, six state licenses, and thousands of clients served, I know that it is not always easy to come to therapy and talk about difficult issues. While virtual/messaging based therapy may be a bit unfamiliar, I have extensive experience on this platform. Over the past eight years I have developed a very high degree of comfort and confidence in my ability to deliver high quality clinical services to my clients. I am here to help you with whatever life has thrown your way, and I am in this journey to self-improvement with you. Additionally, I want to teach you the skills I use to work through these problems so that you will come away from therapy with a better understanding of yourself, and how to independently work through your issues in the future. I am direct, goal driven, and results oriented. I specialize in relationship issues, couples, stress and anxiety management, anger/aggression management, depression and bipolar, and LBGT issues. For any new client wishing to have their intake session, I can accommodate that within 48 hours. My passion is helping people, and I would be happy to help you. https://www.facebook.com/Jay-Swedlaw-MSEdS-LPC-LMHC-971275126239636/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-swedlaw-b61618bb/

Greetings! My name is Catrina and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Supervisor in Texas. I am also licensed in Arizona, South Carolina and Florida. I am here to work with you and I am on your side. When working on difficult concerns, it is important to have an impartial person who can listen and be there for you. I work with a variety of concerns, including healing from difficult and abusive relationships, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, addiction, and the loss of a loved one. I started the journey of becoming a therapist to help others and it was a calling of sorts. After my experience of healing and growth, I knew I wanted to help others overcome similar things. I work with those who are going though a life transitions and those who struggle to let the past go. I also work with those grieving the loss of a loved one or a relationship. Together we will come up with a plan that will fit your unique needs and situation. I work with a variety of different methods and techniques to help you through. I am here to listen and offer support without judgment. If you feel stuck or have a situation that is difficult to talk about with others, therapy may be a good place to start. Whether or not I'm a good match for you, I'm so glad you are getting help. Congratulations on taking the first steps.

Hi! You have made the first step on a new journey! I know talking to a stranger can be a bit unnerving. So, let me introduce myself. I'm Mieasha Edmonds. I have been practicing as a counselor for over 8 years now and in the mental health field for about 10 years. My journey started when I received my Bachelor of Arts in English from Sam Houston State University. During that time I served as a local youth pastor while at SHSU. I went on to attend seminary to fulfill my goal of becoming a Chaplain for the United Methodist Church. It was during that process that I fell in love with counseling and changed my life’s trajectory. I later earned my Masters of Arts in Counseling and Masters of Divinity from Houston Graduate School of Theology. Since graduating, I have grown to love all aspects of spirituality and counseling. In my 10 years I have worked with adolescents, elderly, and adults who struggle with addiction and mental illness. I have worked as a psychotherapist in both inpatient and outpatient settings and have experience in providing services and support to those who are struggling with grief and loss, anxiety, trauma, depression, substance use, psychosis, and life stressors. I am a proud member of the LGBT community. I believe that everyone deserves to be loved and understood. I am passionate about helping others heal and my therapeutic approach consists of person-centered, solution-focused, and strengths-based therapies. However, I meet the needs of clients on an individual, case by case basis. I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with you.

Greetings! My name is Dr. Ashley Sutton and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in the state of Texas and a Board-Certified National Counselor (NCC). I have over 5 years working with clients in a variety of settings to include correctional facilities, residential treatment centers, and private practice. As a counselor, I empower individuals, couples, or families to overcome personal obstacles to improve their lives. I specialize in assisting clients who are experiencing anxiety and depression. Through counseling, I can help you overcome your challenges. The approach I primarily use is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Brief Solution Focused Therapy to assist individuals in recognizing how their thoughts and feelings can influence their behavior. I use a variety of techniques to provide an interactive and enjoyable therapeutic experience. I prescribe to a strength-based perspective which means working together to find past and present successes and using these to address the challenges currently being faced. It is my earnest desire to continue to empower the lives of those who are experiencing mental health issues. I approach therapy with humility and respect for the client(s) I am privileged to work with. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling that focuses on helping client(s) understand their areas of difficulty and achieving their goals through collaborative efforts. I would love to help you reach your goals.

Keep it Simple! Over several decades of studying and practicing a variety of counseling styles, I came to the conclusion that there is not just one “correct” way to understand human behavior. Each path has a unique focus, but no single framework could claim to deal with the wide variety of problems and challenges that people faced. During those years, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and so forth. However, while the theories of psychotherapy were getting MORE complicated, the daily practice of working with the clients actually became simpler! I began to create a simple program that demonstrated that search for simplicity. With my current BetterHelp clients, we started to call this program “the Four SuperPowers”! Step One: listen to the client’s challenging stories Step Two: teach a simple exercise (superpower) to address those challenges Step Three: practice, and then repeat the first two steps! As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a licensed school teacher and counselor, I had always been a counselor at heart. Long before “Mindfulness” became popular, I served as the "Relaxation Therapist", having devised a pretty simple, yet universal, set of basic exercises to calm down any and all clients in the facilities in which I worked. My counseling sessions might combine the standard "Western" therapy models with more universal techniques. Also, a touch of humor and artistic creativity can be very helpful in the process. I look forward to traveling that Search for Simplicity with you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in San Antonio, TX. with more than 10 years’ experience of practice in Texas. I also worked as a counselor in other states for over 10 years. Altogether, I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked extensively with folks dealing with depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorders, post-traumatic stress, crisis, victims of crime, family relationship issues, sports performance, and other issues. My approach to counseling is client-centered, where you are highly valued, respected and honored. I understand the issues you want to resolve are extremely important to you, your family, and others close to you. The counseling process will be specifically designed around you and your needs to motivate and empower you. Therefore, I utilize the most effective techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and others that produce positive results, that change lives. Seeking out counseling and taking that first step in the process can be scary, but let your heart not be troubled. It will be one of the best decisions made in getting back to a healthier you and life. I would be honored to come along side you and help you reach those goals. Blessings.

I am a licensed professional counselor with thirteen years experience. I am eclectic in practice, but have a strong bent toward cognitive behavioral and narrative therapy styles. My approach is client-centered as it is the client's process and journey; I have the honor of being, only, a part of that. I believe in the power of one's story to heal and overcome. I have worked with clients, ranging in age, from eleven to eighty-two. The majority of the people I have worked with have been adults. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. Many of my clients have been from the LGBTQ+ community. I have worked with both victims (survivors) and offenders. I have worked with individuals, small groups, and larger groups. I love every kind of person and I believe in the power and beauty of humanity. I look forward to being a part of your journey!

I am a Professional Counselor licensed in Wyoming with over 10 years of experience working in various avenues of mental health.

I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive.

No judgement. Just support and commitment to team up with you to help you live out your best life. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
