Therapists in Coldspring, TX

Hello and welcome. You have taken a big step towards helping yourself. I hope that I have the privilege of working with you. My name is Yvette Ramirez, MS, LPC. I started my counseling career working with clients that were diagnosed with bipolar disorder, major depression, schizophrenia, or schizo-affective disorder. I would visit client's in their homes and help them understand their diagnosis, teach them how to cope with symptoms, and teach the importance of medication adherence. I was promoted to the Integrated Care department where I practiced solution focused therapy with client's that had medical issues that exasperated their mental health issues, or vice versa. I was trained and certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the State of Texas, and continue to utilize CBT in my practice today. I was promoted to a supervisory position for the Assertive Community Treatment Team and lead a team of 13 case managers, nurses, and LCDCs, which worked with clients that were high utilizers of the local mental health hospitals and were in crisis often. I was the lead counselor for the team as well, and was trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy to assist our client's with trauma they have endured and to teach them to challenge the negative thoughts they had about themselves in regard to that trauma. I worked in private practice at Step by Step Counseling and Alamo Heights Counseling, Inc. part time and expanded my counseling career. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming to help those who have lived through a traumatic event that is causing distress in their lives, or clients that endure distress that they find difficult to handle. I now work full time in private practice and enjoy helping people like you every day reach their goals to feeling the best they can . I am person centered and listen to your needs and wants to help you get to where you are feel the most successful. Thank you so much for visiting my profile. I look forward to working with you.

Hi there! My name is Roxanne Stegall and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over eight years experience working in the mental healthcare field. My past work experience in both the medical and mental healthcare settings have prepared me to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I earned my Masters of Social Work Degree from Louisiana State University where I completed two internships, one was a local non-profit family-counseling center and the other was a state run outpatient-counseling center. After graduation, I was hired as the lead therapist at a private inpatient mental health facility where I worked with a multidisciplinary team and provided individual, family, and group counseling to both adolescents and adults. After making a move to a new city, I became a medical social worker for a children's hospital where I primarily worked with children and their families who were facing a life altering medical diagnosis. Past clients have described my demeanor as warm, empathetic, and approachable. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for each client to explore any life challenge they may be facing such as difficulties with stress/anxiety, feelings of depression, grief, chronic illness, life transitions, and/or relationship conflicts. I enjoy working alongside my clients to develop goals and objectives to address these life challenges. My approach to therapy is a holistic one. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches when working with clients, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, as well as strengths-based and mindfulness-based techniques. Whether this is your first time seeking counseling services or you are a returning client, engaging in therapy takes courage and humility. My personal goal as a therapist is for my clients to feel a greater sense of life-balance, self-confidence, and self-awareness that will empower them to address future life challenges that may arise. If you are ready to take the first steps towards a change, I look forward to working with you and supporting you through the journey!

Hello & Welcome! I am very happy that you have found my profile on BetterHelp. I am currently licensed in the state of Texas as an Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have lived on and off in Texas since high school and my graduation from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. My primary training is as an Art Therapist from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois. Since graduating from SIUE, I have worked for over 20 years providing adult, adolescent, and children's therapy to individuals seeking help and support through counseling. I have worked in adult community mental health settings, where I provided both individual and group therapy to those individuals affected by anxiety, depression, mood swings, and other issues related to wanting to live their best life - only needing help and support to recover and grow! I have also worked with individuals affected by trauma such as domestic violence and other types of interpersonal or partner violence. Whether in Illinois, or Texas, I have continued to grow as a professional and have additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I continue to focus my continuing education on how trauma, depression, and anxiety, and other mental health issues impact attachment, development, and the brain. This next year of professional education and growth will focus heavily on cultural diversity, awareness of privilege and disparity, and how to best support and help individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, and Persons of Color (POC). I grew up mostly in Iowa before being transplanted to Texas in my teens. Graduate school took me back to the Midwest in the St. Louis area, where I stayed for 10 years post graduation. It was there that I was introduced to yoga and became interested in meditation and other mindfulness practices. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and hanging out with my dogs, I believe in having a Wellness Plan for myself that includes time for reflection, reading, exercise, eating good food, and taking trips with my fiancé. I love to go to Big Bend and hike, and to enjoy the people in the vast desert of West Texas. Love the smell of the creosote and wide blue skies. My next state to explore would be Colorado! Not sure that I have a 'bucket list' but enjoy having new experiences, traveling, and learning to appreciate the differences in culture among people and different regions of the United States. My therapeutic framework is heavily influenced by Attachment, Development and the impact of trauma on individuals. As I have grown as professional therapist, I continue to incorporate on going education and learning around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and more recently Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I feel strongly that counseling should be person-centered, developing a foundation of trust and safety so that the therapeutic relationship starts with what the individual has identified and prioritized to be important to them. Regardless of the therapeutic approach, I believe in helping to challenge and change feelings, thoughts and behaviors that are not currently working for my client. Overall, therapy is about problem solving, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that support the ability for everyone to Live, Laugh & Love. I look forward to hearing from you and finding out how I can best help and support you through this process using the BetterHelp platform with video, text, and email. BetterHelp is an awesome way to explore the benefits and flexibility of having a therapist who fits into your schedule through the non-traditional growth of telehealth and virtual counseling!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas and have been in the field for 10+ years. I have never failed to be fascinated with people, with their stories, and with their ability to overcome their circumstances and find the peace they desire. I was an art teacher in high school for many years. That opportunity presented me with experience in learning about the heart of a young person. I worked in several churches as a mentor and learned the need for skills people lacked in order to overcome their past and move forward into a healthy life. As a counselor, I saw the amazing struggles that people are grappling with as they tried to tackle each day. I believe that a counselor can be the helper who will walk along side of a person on their journey to healing. I completed my Masters in counseling at the Houston Graduate School of Theology, then went on to Texas A&M Corpus Christi to complete a Ph.D. I have also extended my studies to include many techniques for working with trauma/PTSD, personality disorders, grief, disassociation, depression, OCD, transition issues, and anxiety. I have been involved with many survivors of childhood abuse, those struggling with life issues in their relationships, their workplace, and in society in general. Fear, anger, and frustration are often crippling to a healthy, productive life. I like to work with people in a person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and in dialectic behavioral therapy. These therapies all offer a gentle and caring approach. They will allow you to be open in a safe environment and the ability to explore what will best work for you, the individual. I consider the people I’ve talked with and walked with in this journey of life to be among the strongest people on earth. They are willing to step out of their problems and seek a better, healthier life. It’s hard work, but it is worth it.
