Counseling services are often recommended for treatment of mental health challenges, but they can be useful for so much more.  A therapist can offer tools to support healing past hurts, help manage stress, deal with behavioral challenges, be a life coach, and share strategies to live a more fulfilling life. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Missouri City, TX may offer more mental health services than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be challenging, even in a city. One reason for this is that there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches available, which can be more or less effective depending on the challenge being addressed. For example, if you are looking for a trained mediator to resolve conflicts with family members you may need family counseling. However, in Missouri City family counseling may not necessarily be available in an area convenient to you. This is where online therapy can help. 

BetterHelp offers access to a wide variety of Missouri-City based mental health professionals from psychologists to social workers, to licensed professional counselor supervisors. These providers have expertise in many different specialties, and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. 

Online therapy is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions can fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. 

Therapy can support almost anyone in living more fulfilled lives. If you have been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp to find out more.

Hello! Welcome! I would like to take this opportunity to share with you a few things about myself and my approach to counseling. My name is Carolyn Fields and I am a Texas-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University, and a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling from LeTourneau University.  I am passionate about life and the innate potential of each person. Counseling is something I chose to pursue because of my love for life and the freedom that comes from health and happiness. I believe that counseling has tremendous potential to make a positive impact in one's life and relationships! Counseling is a process, and when approached with openness, many great things can emerge from this dynamic endeavor. I have experience counseling with and supporting others with varied backgrounds on a wide range of concerns. I have counseled with others in the area of trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, panic, grief/loss, divorce/separation, general life-challenges, personal conflicts/distress and skill-building/development. Counseling is a collaborative journey that aims to bring about desired results. I am happy to explore and discuss your concerns to consider what a counseling journey might look like for you. My theoretical approach to counseling tends toward CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Existential Therapy. I seek to meet people where they are and tailor my approach to each client's individual personality and specific needs. Please note that my services are not intended for those in immediate danger or harm; or those in the midst of emergency circumstances. Please call 911 or local emergency services should you find yourself in danger, or in an emergency situation and in need of help. Thank you for visiting my profile page!
