Hello! Thank you for considering me as your counselor. Let me give you an overview of my counseling style, education, experience and personal background. Counseling Style: My theoretical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe our thoughts lead to our emotions and behaviors. Initially, I use worksheets to help you uncover underlying beliefs you have about events or issues that lead to uncomfortable emotions or self-defeating behaviors. I also like to tie in neurobiology to help you understand that we can manipulate the way our brains work to speed up change. I tend to use humor initially to break the ice and normalize behaviors. Education: I earned by Masters of Counseling at University of Phoenix in 2002. I also received a Master of Arts in Organizational Management in 2001 at University of Phoenix. I was pursuing my Doctorate in Neuropsychology at Argosy University from 2010 - 2013 but my life plan changed so I decided not to complete the degree. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Northern Arizona University. I am required to complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years to maintain my license; therefore, I have extensive training in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Posttramatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), neuropsychology, depression and anxiety. Experience: I started in the mental health field as a Crisis Counselor for the Phoenix Fire Department for four years while I was getting my Masters degrees. After graduation, I became a Crisis Counselor in emergency rooms throughout the Valley for six years. I transitioned into a traditional counselor position specializing in PTSD with police officers, fire fighters, and military personnel. I also really enjoyed working with people in life transitions (careers, school, retirement, marriage, dating, etc.). I became the Director of Psychological Health for the Arizona Army National Guard in 2013 working with soldiers in pre- and post-deployment phases, suicide prevention, PTSD, and military sexual trauma. When that contract ended, I helped open Quail Run Behavioral Health Hospital as the Director of Intake & Assessment. I currently work for Arizona's state crisis system and am in a telecommuting position. I missed individual counseling and am thrilled to be a part of the Better Help team. Personal Background: I am a 3rd generation native Arizonan (my mom and grandmother were born and raised in Phoenix which is very rare). I grew up in Flagstaff and moved to Phoenix after graduating from NAU. I decided to pursue a counseling career after my aunt's experience in the emergency room when my uncle died suddenly and unexpectedly at 46 years old. I knew there was a compassionate way to deliver heartbreaking and life-changing information. I also had a wonderful counselor who helped me recover from PTSD after my brief stint in the military. I have been divorced twice and recently relocated to Phoenix to be closer to family & friends. I have 2 spoiled dachshunds and love to travel and am learning to crochet. Thank you for taking time to read my bio and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Welcome, I'm Rima Mickus, a fully licensed clinical counselor in Illinois and Arizona and am limited to working with only Illinois and Arizona residents at this time. I enjoy working with men and women who are struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, and insomnia. I have 17 years of experience as a counselor, and have been in private practice since 2013. I have post graduate training in couples counseling, relationship coaching, domestic violence, and non-drug treatment for insomnia (using CBT-I). I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University in Illinois. I work with adults in my private practice and enjoy helping them navigate through difficult circumstances. Relationship issues are usually a top stressor for many adults, whether it is family, dating, marriage, or work relationship issues. A bulk of my practice is helping adults with their relationships. We explore communication styles, personality differences, childhood influences, and other factors that impact the quality of our relationships. I help clients learn what a healthy relationship looks like and what constitutes abusive and disrespectful behavior. I can provide links to online assessments that can help identify strengths and areas of growth for both singles and couples. Another area that I enjoy helping clients with is health , fitness, and weight management. I have a certification in Wellness coaching and have helped many clients improve their mood and health using some simple interventions. Finally, an area that I find most important, but often neglected is sleep quality. Sleep is very under- rated but can make an enormous difference in a person's mood and cognitive function. I am trained directly by Dr Gregg Jacobs of the Harvard Medical School in providing CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia). This is a 5-6 week structured program that requires the participant to keep a detailed weekly sleep log. It has been very helpful in helping men and women get more hours of quality sleep at night. There is also a way to wean off of sleep medications, but this will require medical supervision with a doctor. If weaning from medications is involved, the program typically takes longer, depending on how long the medication has been used. Please note that therapy is a very active process and frequent communication is important for maximum benefit. I will be contacting you through messaging more than once a week, as required by this service. I check messages at least 2 times per day. Your active participation is key to the success of your therapy. The more you participate, the more benefit you will get out of this service. My general hours of service are M-F 9 am-6pm CT. I check messages on weekends and occasionally offer sessions on weekends. Let me know when you are ready to start your therapy. I am looking forward to working with you! Warm regards, Rima

Gail Roberson Fatino MS, LPC, LMLP . Licensed Professional Counselor: Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Delaware . Licensed Masters Level Psychologist: Kansas. . I travel full-time in our RV with my husband of 18 years and our Tonkinese cats, Apollo and Jazzi. I have a private office in our RV, where I conduct remote therapy sessions. I also write children’s books featuring characters who help young readers navigate real-life challenges. . I love connecting with nature because it reminds me of what truly matters in life, which is a key reason I enjoy my RV lifestyle so much. As a quote from The Lion King states: “There is more to see than can ever be seen, and more to do than can ever be done." My goal is to see and do as much as possible while living my best life. In short, I love life and make it my mission to experience it to the fullest every day! . As an interactive, solution-focused therapist, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored specifically to my clients' immediate needs and life visions. My practice, which spans three decades, is grounded in evidence-based solutions. I listen without judgment and teach my clients to utilize mental health tools to cope with and resolve the issues that brought them to therapy. . I would be remiss not to mention that therapy can extend beyond problem resolution. I enjoy helping my clients create the life experiences they desire, and for those who wish, therapy can focus on optimizing their mental health. I am deeply grateful for the life teachers who have graced my life over the years, imparting invaluable lessons. I share their words of wisdom with clients who want to incorporate them into their therapeutic experience. . I enjoy my work as a therapist now just as much as I did when my career began over three decades ago. Through years of practice, I've come to understand that real answers exist for life’s challenges. I also take great pleasure in helping others create the experiences they desire. My philosophy about therapy is that each individual’s experience is unique. It’s my role as their therapist to guide them toward their desired outcomes. Additionally, I have a responsibility to present various ways for them to achieve their goals, as there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution; multiple paths often exist to tackle a problem or move beyond a specific life situation. It is genuinely my distinct pleasure to assist my clients in discovering the answers that best suit their lives. . I now offer mental health therapy exclusively. Over five years ago, I transitioned my entire practice to tele-Counseling, which made therapy just a click away for my clients, eliminating the time and hassle of traveling to an office. This was only the beginning of the benefits, as clients have shared that they can focus on their issues more quickly and deeply in their own familiar environment. I’ve also noticed that, in general, teletherapy requires fewer sessions to achieve successful outcomes than in-office sessions. . A few considerations for specifically choosing the Better Help platform for my clients include the amenities of the 24/7 message page allows for on-going therapy between live sessions. The "journal option" makes it possible for my clients to easily do their personal work and then share it with me if they choose, or keep it private otherwise. The menu of session modes meets each client at their comfort level and availability. My clients can select for phone or live chat or video on a session by session basis. There is a library of worksheets and information available to therapists that are beneficial to my clients. Plus, my clients can print or upload their messages and worksheets and maintain their own record of their therapy experience. These are all amenities generally beyond the scope of traditional therapy, and is the reason I selected "Better Help" for my clients. . I’d love to connect with you on Better Help! So log-in, settle into your easy chair, and click "Work with Me". I am right here to take that first life-changing step with you. Gail
