I have been a therapist since 2014 when I graduated with my masters degree in social work from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. After graduating with my bachelors in social work in 2012 and working for a year at a homeless shelter, I knew there was more that I wanted to be doing, which led me back to school to continue my education. I finished all of my clinical hours for licensure in April of 2018, which is when I became an LCSW. I have worked at three different outpatient mental health centers during my time of practice, all which served different ages, diagnoses, and stages of life. The majority of my experience comes in working with individuals learning to cope with anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, trauma, abuse, parenting issues, life transitions, relational issues and grief and loss. I may be the “therapist,” but no one knows you like you do, and that is why I make it a priority to make sure we use my expertise, as well as yours to make sure we get you where you want to be! I traditionally come from a strengths based background/approach for this reason. I have taken certified courses in Trauma Focused CBT, and in treating Anxiety. I can’t promise I won’t respectfully try to challenge you throughout this process, but you have the power to choose what feels right for you. I understand that this is a difficult spot to be in, and that the thought of needing “therapy” can sometimes seem unnecessary, but I really hope that you can look at this like a partnership where I can provide you with certain tools that will help you on your journey. There is no such thing as a stupid question, a ridiculous thought, or a reason to be embarrassed. Everyone handles stress and life transitions differently, and if it weren’t for that we wouldn’t have the uniqueness that helps us all accelerate at different things. I am honored to get to hear your story, and to be your sounding board at this time of transition.

Problems, challenges, complications, snags, stressors... Whatever you call them, we all encounter difficulties in our journeys through life. I have found that people have the capacity to overcome these challenges when provided the right tools, education, and direction. In fact, many find abilities and strengths within themselves they never knew existed. As a social worker, I have helped people deal with a variety of problems on different scales. I am here to offer support, guidance, resources, and unconditional positive regard. My goal is to provide a safe environment in which a person can discuss and explore situations, thoughts, and experiences that cause distress. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in 2003 and a Master’s in Social work in 2007. My therapeutic style is eclectic and in large part depends on the needs of the individual. The treatment is often solution focused and client centered with a strengths-based, mindful approach. I will work collaboratively with you to identify and define achievable outcomes and then create a plan to obtain these objectives. I am also available to simply listen and provide ongoing emotional support. Acknowledging a problem and reaching out for help is not easy and in fact requires bravery, insight, and resolve. I applaud you for taking the first steps to address your specific life challenges. I am so happy to help you realize your individual goals and ultimately reach your full potential.

As we move through life, we encounter all kinds of difficulties, whether with relationships, work, or within yourself. Your emotions can be unmanageable and can bring down your self-worth. This is why I believe that people need to be heard and need help finding their way. Nobody is immune to the stress and issues that life can throw your way, but don’t lose hope. I have over 13 years of counseling experience and I still always feel honored for a person to trust me with sharing their struggles and for allowing me to assist them through it. I can help individuals manage their stress, learn how to cope with their emotions, stability and even help to achieve their personal goals. I offer assistance in dealing with relationship issues, communication, behavior issues, trauma, grief, and many other life issues. I will work and listen to you to help get you through your difficult times.

My name is Karen Medlock. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Texas and Louisiana. I have two Masters' Degrees, one in Social Work and one in Theology. I take a holistic approach with my clients. I have worked with all age groups, from three years old all the way in the eighties. Yes, I have been around awhile. I have teaching certifications in Michigan and taught Kindergarten through twelfth grade. The experiences I had as a teacher were tremendous and very helpful in my therapeutic relationships with adolescents and teenagers. I enjoy working with all age groups and totally enjoy diversity in culture, race and sexual orientation. I ran and did sexual offender treatment with male adult offenders at Norton Correctional Center in Norton, Kansas, which gave me a great magnitude of skills in addiction treatment, running groups and providing psycho-social classes in multitudes of topics. I would have to say working with inmates in state prisons is very rewarding for me because I can now view them as people with problems from the past that have never been dealt with for the most part. Also, I have much experience in helping people work through trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, including the severe panic attacks that occur. I have worked extensively with grief and loss. I am very excited to be a part of Better Help because it is a way for people who need help to access me at various times via text, phone or video. It is a good medium for all those who are a bit shy to meet in person (or aren't ready) or have tight schedules. I am very excited to work with you! I am quite a laid-back therapist, and always respond to where you are in your life-path. We all are on personal life journeys...let's use this time to explore and traverse new worlds and paths! I will help you develop your strengths and accompany you on your journey.

Welcome! My name is Tiffany and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas, with a specialties in Neurofeedback, Quantitative EEG's, and Biofeedback. I have over 20 years experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with people experiencing a variety of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, learning disabilities, ADHD, addictions, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, family conflict, marital issues, insomnia, and many more. I have a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of North Texas (1999) with a specialty in Neurofeedback. My desire to be a Counselor started at a very young age (12) and that never changed. I personally was challenged with many issues growing up and throughout my life including depression, anxiety, OCD, early loss of my mother, abuse, and eating disorders, which has always been my driving force to help others achieve mental happiness and content. My struggles as a young adult and throughout adulthood have taught me to learn from those experiences and be able to turn them into who I am as a Counselor today. I spent my teenage years volunteering with Prevent Blindness and the Lion's club and working with disabilities as well as the crisis hotline . Our ability to persevere is within, and I thrive on the challenge to help each person attain their full potential in life. It takes courage to begin a journey to better mental health, so I congratulate you on taking this first step towards healing. My specialties in Neurofeedback, QEEG, and biofeedback have allowed me to understand the brain/body component of mental health and the patterns associated with different issues allowing me to focus on the types of therapy that would most benefit each individual person. I was fortunate to be the Clinical Coordinator of the Neurotherapy Lab for 7 years in which I conducted counseling with Neurofeedback and both taught and mentored students at UNT. Since then I have continued to have a private practice as well as have worked with the head of Dr. Phil McGraw's psychological team for 16 years. I founded the Applied-Brain Body Solutions Clinic in 2011 as my private practice in which I incorporate a very holistic approach to mental and physical health and have worked with patients from 6 years old to 90 years old. I would describe myself as down to earth and open minded with an eclectic style of therapy. My approaches involve cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, client-centered, solution focused, and existential therapy as each person is different in their distinct needs. It would be my privilege to accompany you on your journey to happiness and a calm state and help you determine your mental health goals!

I am a psychologist and have been licensed for 40 years. I had a solo private practice delivering psychological services to children, adolescents and adults since 1983. I made the decision to close my private practice on 01/31/2022. It was a hard decision but do to a variety of considerations; I saw it as an off ramp from the world of private practice. I've been doing tele-therapy for over a two years; and have really enjoyed the experience. Tel-therapy is the past, present and future delivery system of psychological services for all populations. Although there are differences between in-person versus tele-therapy, in my opinion; these differences are insignificant; and in my experiences have no impact on effectiveness. My approach to the process of individual therapy is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; which in English means we examine the relationship between ones thoughts, feelings and behavior choices from the perspective of an individuals past and present experiences through out childhood, adolescence and adulthood and the Bio-Psycbo-Social paradigm of therapy. Which translates to using medication management when it is deemed medically necessary by a physician; combined with individual and couples therapy that addresses issues of self and attacments to others both in and outside of the individuals family. Therapy is a marathon not a sprint. It's a guided tour of healthy change. Change for everybody is difficult at any developmental phase of life. Having been in therapy for many decades I can say : "It wasn't easy but so very rewarding." At the end of the day "people do what they want to do." Therapy examines an individual's pattern of choices and their consequences in a confidential and judgement free environment. Then through therapy new and healthier skill sets are learned to help navigate ones personal and professional lives for the goal of making healthier patterns of choices that enhances how one feels about themselves and their significant attachments to others.
