Therapists in Beaumont, TX
With the stress of daily living, and the life transitions that can occur at any time, many people can use the support of therapy at some point or another. When it comes to finding a therapist, Beaumont, TX can offer a wider variety of choice than surrounding small town or rural areas, but even in a city it isn’t necessarily easy to find the right kind of counseling services.
For one thing, in clinical mental health there are a variety of evidence-based approaches, and which counseling approach to use can depend on the challenges being addressed. Although there may be psychiatry services nearby, what you need specifically may not necessarily be accessible or available. Psychiatric nurse practitioners that work in a neighborhood clinic may be available to manage medication or treat past trauma, but are not likely to work with an individual who is looking for support in setting life goals or looking for guidance in building self-esteem for a fulfilled life.
That’s where online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp can be beneficial. BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 professionals in the mental health field that offer counseling services in a variety of specialties, and with expertise in diverse populations. By filling out an online questionnaire, BetterHelp will match you with a therapist that meets your individual needs. And because it can be essential to success to have a strong rapport with your practitioner, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
Better mental health can be a factor in living a healthy and fulfilled life. If you live in the Beaumont area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, whether to overcome trauma, heal relationships, or to explore self-actualization, contact BetterHelp to get started on your mental wellness journey.

Hi! My name is Liliana Palacios, and I want to tell you that I've spent the last 19 years helping people from all walks of life through their troubles and successes. I am originally from Mexico City and lived there until I was 24. There, I went to college and earned a BS in Organizational Psychology. Moving to the United States as a young mother, I decided to focus my energy and efforts on being a mother to my two girls, but that didn't stop me from pursuing and earning my MA in Professional Counseling. While being a stay-at-home mom, I volunteered for several years at the local Mental Health Mental Retardation agency and as a crisis line phone volunteer with Contact Crisis Line. After finishing my education and becoming independently licensed, I started working with parents and children who had suffered abuse and women victims of domestic violence. Some of the issues that I have expertise in are relationship violence, childhood sexual abuse, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, marital problems, parenting coaching and training, delinquency in youth, and problems of childhood and adolescence. I have also facilitated domestic violence support groups for Hispanic victims and parenting classes in Spanish for parents of children and adolescents. Over the past 15 years, I have focused my work on advocating, assisting, and guiding parents of children on the autism spectrum in looking for services and support for themselves or their children. I have also worked closely with caregivers of elderly or ill loved ones during all the stages of caregiving and end-of-life concerns. I am a nationally certified counselor and clinical trauma professional, and I have trained extensively in grief counseling and therapeutics. I am a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist and a Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional. Now, I believe that no matter how many fancy titles and certificates one might have, the success of a therapeutic relationship depends a lot on finding the right person for your current situation. I like to be warm, supportive, friendly, and open. Still, I will not sugarcoat or hesitate to tell my clients when I feel they are doing something that can bring them trouble or hurt them more than help. Therapy is a process of self-discovery, finding our inner strengths, and learning how to be happy, fulfilled, whole, and fully present for ourselves and our loved ones. I hope we have a chance to get to work together to get you to where you want and deserve to be! In good health, Liliana "It's not the load that breaks you down. It's how you carry it". Lena Thorne

Hello! My name is Paul Andrew Germany. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and have worked with people from teens to seniors of differing back grounds, cultures, beliefs, and life choices. The majority of my career I have been employed by UTMB-CMC as a Mental Health Clinician. I can’t remember a time when I was not fascinated and intrigued by the subject of psychology and mental health; and it remains one of my passions to this day. I pursued my BA in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and continued my post-graduate studies in clinical psychology at Stephen F. Austin State University earning my MA. While working in the field full-time I continued to enroll in advanced counseling courses and exceeded the state’s criteria to become a License Professional Counselor. With years of continuing education and the motivation to be most effective counselor possible, I have stayed up to date with emerging theories, evidence-based techniques, and am proficient in many counseling methods. My counseling style is tailored to the individual with whom I’m working, however, I treat all with compassion, empathy and respect. The techniques I tend to utilize most often are those that have shown to be most effective. They include Cognitive Behavioral, Client Centered, Solution Focused, and Mindfulness Based Therapies. However, this again is dependent upon the issues we are addressing and goals you wish to achieve. I have experience treating individuals and groups with a wide range of mental health issues. From life coaching to treating patients with chronic mental health disorders in an inpatient setting, from agoraphobia to trichotillomania, there are only a few areas out of my wheelhouse. In those rare cases, I would work just as hard helping you find a therapist better suited to your needs. Whether you are seeking help for a severe issue and require long term therapy or you are just wanting an old school psychodynamic experience with a warm and non-judgmental ear to listen, I’m here. I commend you for taking this first step towards a better you; now let’s get to work.

I see counseling as a process in which you and I having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I approach counseling from a cognitive behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the clients' problems and to develop solutions. I work with clients in a variety of formats, including individually, as couples and as families. I also conduct group therapy. I have counseled clients of varying ages and in both school and clinical settings working together toward a desired positive outcome. I have worked to improve the lives of people since 2002, first as a teacher, later as a counselor. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Texas. I graduated in 1979 from Louisiana State University in Shreveport, Louisiana. After twenty-four years in the corporate world , I received my alternative teacher certification from Grambling State University. I earned a master’s in counseling from Louisiana Tech University in 2012, and a Master of Education in 2016. I also have an Educational Leadership Certification, a Louisiana and Texas Licensed Professional Counselor’s certification, and a National Certified Counselor certification.
