I have participated in helping people overcome concerns including life stressors, relationship problems, addictions, disordered eating, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression or any other issue that is getting in the way of living and experiencing more peace and fulfillment. I enjoy challenging my clients by encouraging a space to deepen one’s thinking and increase self-awareness. I am passionate and dedicated in helping others have the life they desire. I believe everyone can heal from anything that they have experienced. Often, as humans we have the tendency to operate from an emotional state of mind, whether we are guided by positive or negative emotions. One of my hopes is to coach others to better differentiate between their two systems, intellect and emotional, that as a species we all share in common. Through a passion for family systems work, I am guided in my experience as a humanistic and strength-based therapist. If you are up for the challenge and open to learning how to be more responsible for your life and function the way you want to function in every relationship then I’m your person. I look forward to connecting with you soon! Please note: I do not have any more evening times available, if you are available to meet during the day M-F then please feel free to connect with me.

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!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some commonly asked questions can be found 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.

How do I know if I should get a therapist?

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 in Texas can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover 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 safe?

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.
