My name is Jennifer L. Segura, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Texas. I have been a counselor for 16 years, dedicating my services to helping children. In the last three years I have had the privilege of expanding my expertise to include obtaining my LPC and working with adults in different settings and stages of life. No matter the age, when we experience difficulties in our lives brought upon by divorce, career changes, grief, or traumas I feel that we don’t always have the resources or coping sills needed to deal with these challenges. I applaud you for your courage and taking a step in a positive direction to seek help! My approach to counseling is being present/listening and providing a nonjudgmental space to help you grow and heal by addressing your needs. I am very client-centered and believe you do have the power to reach your fullest potential/life goals, but my approach is that it may also take work/commitment and learning how to change thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. My counseling methods may also include cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, psychoeducational and mindfulness. I do enjoy practicing what I preach and taking mindful walks and meditation minutes. I believe self-care is essential in our busy lives, we need to embrace the practice and not allow ourselves to be shamed by embracing what we need. I would like to help you lead a more fulfilling life. I specialize in the following areas: • Anxiety (social, generalized) • Adjustment Issues/Disorders • Trauma & Stress Related Concerns • Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity • Problems related to family/interpersonal relationships I would be grateful to work with you and grateful that you found the courage to seek help!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 12 years of experience working with clients as they navigate life's challenges including changes in health, relationship issues, work stress, and caregiving. The majority of my work has centered around health psychology and helping clients achieve their personal goals for health and wellness. My therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and solution-focused therapy. But I believe in tailoring the therapy experience to the unique needs and goals of each client. Research shows that the most critical component of successful therapy is the strength of the therapeutic relationship. I therefore endeavor, first and foremost, to develop a positive, collaborative relationship where you feel understood and confident that we are moving in a direction that meets your needs. Just by taking these first few steps to get connected with support, you are already doing a lot to get you closer to where you want to be. Great job!

Please note that a BetterHelp therapist does not offer diagnostic or medication management services.

Emergency services to contact in a crisis

If you are experiencing a crisis or emergency, don't use the BetterHelp site. If you are in life-threatening danger, call 911. If you require support for a crisis, reach out to the hotlines below:

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.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
