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.

Welcome, and thank you for taking this first courageous step...reaching out for support!! Here's a little about me. My name is Angela Noah-Rico and I am a native Texan. I have learned much about perseverance and determination in my life but some of my lessons had to be learned from falling and making mistakes. As humans, we do make mistakes and run into difficulties, but even in these less than graceful moments, valuable lessons can be learned and character can be strengthened. I feel that I have been through very challenging experiences that have given me a broader view and empathy for what others may be experiencing. I have known the challenges of having to work, attend college, attend my child's school and sporting events, cook, clean and perform all of the other countless responsibilities on my own. All of these factors have made me more cognizant of the struggles that others face. As your therapist, you can expect me to tune in closely to your experiences and work in close collaboration with you as we explore your unique challenges but also your unique journey, strengths and resiliency. A little about my education, experience, and therapeutic approach: I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in psychology from the University of Texas-San Antonio and graduated with my Master's Degree in community counseling from Wayland Baptist University. I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients to include individuals dealing with grief/loss issues, with children in a residential treatment center setting, children/adolescents/adults in inpatient/outpatient hospital settings, individuals struggling with drug/alcohol addiction, active duty service members dealing with PTSD, and civilian patients who have experienced various forms of trauma. As I studied to obtain my degree in counseling, I became interested in different therapeutic approaches but one that stood out to me was Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), in that it has been very effective in treating multiple concerns such as anxiety, depression, panic, eating disorders and much more. I attempt to adjust my treatment approach to best fit the needs of my clients but I often take either a Cognitive Behavioral approach, which addresses thought and behavioral change, or a Solution-Focused approach, to assist clients in brainstorming and coming up with practical and healthy solutions to their concerns. As a therapist, I genuinely and enthusiastically look forward to assisting clients in realizing their strengths, maximizing their potential, and seeing healthy changes in their lives! Again, I applaud you for exhibiting such strength in reaching out for support during this time in your life!

Hello! I'm James "JD" Dinh, (They/Them pronouns) and I'm a clinical social worker (LCSW in Texas and LICSW in Washington). I have worked with adults of all ages spanning a wide range of concerns but have particular interest in working with trauma, as well as gender, sexuality, and identity. I'm openly queer, non-binary, polyamorous, and a person of color (Vietnamese). I've helped many clients address issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, exploring identity and living your most authentic life.

I will give you space to process and explore safely while identifying specific strategies to start moving towards your goals and living in line with your personal values. For trauma-related concerns, many of my clients choose EMDR which is an evidence-based approach for addressing and releasing trauma so you can reclaim your life. Wherever you are on your journey, I will be with you to explore and support your growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that to have a successful outcome in therapy, the client and therapist must first build a strong rapport. Once that foundation is laid, I will use one of several therapeutic modalities, depending on the issue at hand. These modalities may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Psychotherapy. An Integrated approach can be utilized as well. I have my Master's in Social Work, the advanced clinical License for LCSW, and recently I achieved the goal of becoming a Certified Dementia Specialist. I have worked in many modalities. Individual Therapy, Medical/Surgical, High-Risk pregnancy and miscarriages, Inpatient Psychiatric help, and Rehab. My husband and I have moved 11 times, so each job was a new learning adventure, and the stress of moving and helping children adjust something I well understand. Some of my strengths are being a good listener, caring, sensitive, and energetic. Not only do I have the necessary credentials, experience, and hours to be licensed, but I also has a lifetime of experience and wisdom to draw from, which is invaluable! Lately, I have been working with caregivers that are taking care of their elderly parents and their children, while trying to have a life. It's a tough job! There are other areas that are prevalent now: such as your expectations of yourself: For example, "All my friends are married and having kids and I'm not, I feel alone". Another common one is, "my kids have left home....I have lost my identity, what do I do". Lastly, a big one is " my family/friends do not approve/understand of my partner/career choice/lifestyle/choice". Each one of these have taken prominence in our culture in the last 15 years and it can be difficult to navigate. I have heard people say that, "Your perception is your reality". What if you don't even know what that perception is? That's where we can work together. Personally I love yoga, digging in my yard, mindfulness, and University of Kentucky Basketball! 2 of my 3 kids went to UK. So Go Big Blue! Please let me know any questions or concerns and I would be happy to help. Best Regards Rebecca
