Therapists in Texas

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the States of Texas and Oregon. My educational background is in Clinical Psychology. With extensive experience, I specialize in treating clients dealing with low self-esteem, depression, stress, and anxiety. My commitment to professional growth drives me to stay informed about the most modern and effective counseling methods. Over the years, my approach has evolved, and I selectively employ evidence-based techniques that have demonstrated success. Currently, I utilize an eclectic counseling approach, emphasizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I firmly believe that personalized care is essential; there is no one-size-fits-all solution in counseling. My practice values cultural sensitivity, respecting clients’ culture, religious beliefs, lifestyle, and individuality. I take pride in providing exceptional service, treating each client with respect and dignity. Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential in life, including the pursuit of happiness.

Hello! I understand it can feel intimidating to begin the process of counseling. I applaud you for leaning toward the healing process to care for your overall health. Life can be hard and I'm here to partner with you, encouraging you to share your thoughts and feelings in a safe and accepting environment. Using a person centered process can provide immense healing in a place of comfort and compassion. Being heard and understood can allow you the space to be open and honest about the struggles you face. This is your path to walk, but I will walk alongside you. You are not alone on this journey. I received my Masters in Counseling and School Counseling from Western Michigan University with an undergraduate degree is in Behavioral Psychology/Applied Behavioral Analysis. I have experience in individual and group therapy (of all ages) and have been in private practice since 2009. I counsel from a strengths based approach using a variety of theories that best fit the client including person-centered and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I work with clients that need help to manage their anxiety, depression, and family/teen/children issues. In my spare time I like to travel, camp and hike with my husband and spend quality time with our children and grandchildren.

I believe therapy can be a helpful and positive experience for you! I am here to guide you on this journey. We will work together toward alleviating symptoms, improving relationships, and reaching your life goals. We will create a safe space where we will be able to communicate openly and honestly. I am nonjudgmental, compassionate, fun, and genuine. I've been a licensed therapist since 1994, so I have experience with a wide variety of issues. I use various methods and techniques, and I tailor these to meet the needs of each individual. I love being a therapist because each journey is unique! I do provide some live sessions, but I rely heavily on the asynchronous messaging. I’ve found that this mode offers time for the client and the therapist to process information throughout the communication. This can be very helpful in the process of therapy. I’d love to work with you if it sounds like we’d be a good fit!

Welcome! I appreciate you for taking actions for your well-being by reaching out to me to work on the challenges that you might have faced as a human. It takes courage and strength to do that. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in TX and WY. I hold certifications as a mediator for conflict resolution, family reconciliation and divorce & custody mediation. I am a certified premarital counselor and parenting counselor. I completed a Professional Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine. I hold certifications of Assisting Individuals in Crisis and Group Crisis Intervention. Therapy is a unique, very personalized, and professional service. We can discuss anything that is important to you under a non-judgmental environment. I create a safe and comfortable space for my clients who can be who he/she is. I love what I am doing as a therapist. You hear, "Find a job you love, you never work a day," That's me. I feel honored and have high respect for my clients who are open, vulnerable and willing to take steps what it takes to achieve goals, which leads to growth and enlightenment. I see beauty in everything and believe in strengths in clients. I want you to know that no matter what happened in the past or what is going on in your life, you have every right to be happy and you are going to find it. My approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-based and Spiritual. My view of therapy is finding “Truth, "about life, human nature, relationship, human condition, generational cycle, upbringing,...etc., which will help you understand them deeply, gain insight, and ultimately "set you free" from anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and/or stress, overall free from human suffering. Furthermore, therapy is nurturing “inner world,” recognizing you are not just “Thoughts,” “Emotions,” “Body,” but much more beyond, above, infinite, timeless, formless, and eternal “Being” with “Soul” and “Spirit” which is the essence of who you are, “Perfect,” “Complete,” “Whole,” “Original,” and “Enough." Therapy is the journey to realize the essence of who you are as a human being not as a human doing, practice being in the present moment to live not at the mercy of external world, eventually living with inner joy, freedom, integrity, and peace.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas with 9 years of experience working as a counselor. I have a passion for working with people and walking with them through their life experiences and to help them toward their identified goals. I see counseling as a safe place to address the thoughts about ourselves and the world and to evaluate how these thoughts impact our emotions and behaviors. I utilize the counseling process to strengthen coping skills, thought-changing skills, as well as conflict resolution and communication skills. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing techniques. I also have experience in the areas of chemical dependency, relational issues, as well as trauma. I see the process of counseling as one that is relational and collaborative. It is through counseling that we get the opportunity to see how we view ourselves, relate with others, and respond to the challenges of life.

I commend you for your interest in exploring the opportunities that counseling has to offer. Life is full of joys and disappointments, successes and setbacks. Most of life’s issues can be managed personally, with family or friends, or with the assistance of churches, schools, or other supportive institutions. Other times, however, individuals and families have found it helpful to seek the assistance of trained and experienced professionals. While the extent and nature of my interventions may vary, I strongly believe that all people possess the personal strength and the means to improve their own lives if provided with the necessary guidance and support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I consider it my calling and my duty to assist others in finding or regaining the tools necessary to function independently again. I believe that our behavior, emotions, and thoughts are all intertwined, but that we are largely guided by our perceptions of ourselves, others, and our world. I also believe in a holistic approach to growth and healing that takes into consideration our relationships, social and cultural issues, our physical state, and our faith and spirituality. My faith provides a foundation for my life and for the work I do, and I welcome the exploration of one’s spiritual journey as a component of the counseling process. Since individuals and their problems are unique and diverse, the interventions and approaches designed to address them should be equally so. My practice is based largely on cognitive-behavioral therapy but employs a broad range of additional techniques including homework assignments, group work, suggested readings, activities, and identifying ways to expand your own support network. I work with clients on a broad variety of issues. Your unique situation will be explored during a standard intake assessment, and I will be happy to make a referral should we both agree that it is in your best interest. All appointments will be arranged directly between client and counselor and are typically scheduled for forty-five minutes each but may vary as needed. Appointments are to be respected and kept. A notice of cancellation should be given more than twenty-four hours prior to the scheduled time. I have earned a bachelor’s degree (BS) in Psychology from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia and a master’s degree (MA) in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. My graduate studies have included Individual Counseling, Psychopathology, Career Counseling, Marriage and Family Counseling, Group Counseling, Counseling Children and Their Families, Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment, and Diagnosis and Treatment of Addictive Behaviors. I also hold a Mental Health/Substance Abuse Prevention Certificate from Eastfield College in Dallas, Texas. My most extensive “field experience” has been pastoral counseling, school setting, and suicide prevention. My counseling experience is largely focused on issues of trauma, depression, anxiety, life purpose, identity, and spirituality. I have conducted counseling with individuals, couples, families, and groups across a wide variety of settings. I have also worked with people of different ages, gender, race, ethnicity, income levels, religious beliefs, and backgrounds embracing each individual’s uniqueness. I will not refuse my services for any of these reasons. Your confidentiality is important to me and is crucial to the counseling process. I will carefully protect any information you provide to me or that I collect or produce on your behalf. All information provided within the context of counseling, including the intake process, whether verbal, written, or otherwise recorded, will remain locked and will not be shared with anyone without your written consent. Exceptions to confidentiality are limited to the following: in cases of imminent harm to the client or others; when information pertains to the abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or otherwise vulnerable person; or under court order. Should you, for any reason, find yourself dissatisfied with the counseling process, I ask that you bring this to my attention immediately. Your concerns will be handled seriously and, ideally, within the counseling relationship. Thank you for choosing Rhonda Osei-Bonsu, LPC for your counseling services. This disclosure was designed to give you information about your time in therapy.
