Therapists in Pharr, TX
When many people think of mental health services, they often picture them in terms of treating individuals with mood disorders or chronic illness. However, therapy has been assisting individuals from all walks of life to live their best life for many years, by offering tools and support for relationships, stress management, and personal growth.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Pharr, TX may offer more variety than many surrounding rural areas, but finding the right mental health clinician for you can be challenging even in a city. This is partly because the efficacy of therapy can depend on a truly client-centered approach. There are a number of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that can be more or less successful depending on the challenge being addressed as well as personal preference. A counselor licensed in CBT may be the best choice for someone experiencing bipolar disorder, while someone with PTSD may choose EMDR to process their trauma. The kind of therapy you want, or need may not be available or accessible nearby. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to licensed mental health professionals in your area that specialize in a variety of therapeutic approaches from anger management to solution-based therapy, 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. And because a true person-centered approach can depend upon a strong therapeutic alliance, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy can also be convenient 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 meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home.
Therapy can be beneficial to many aspects of our personal lives, increasing self-awareness and offering a greater sense of well-being. If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, get started by reaching out to BetterHelp, or check out the list of Pharr-based online professionals below to find out more.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor with over fifteen years of experience in the social sciences field. I am also a veteran, having served in the United States Air Force both stateside and overseas. Throughout my years of experience, I have worked with diverse populations and clients suffering from issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, grief/loss, and trauma/abuse. Other client concerns include self-esteem issues, addictions, stress and life challenges, and more. I consider myself to be a culturally sensitive counselor, and I feel confident in my abilities to work with individuals from many different backgrounds. My counseling style varies depending on the client’s situation and presenting problem(s). What works for one client may not work for all, so my treatment style is tailored for each individual. I am empathetic, caring, and open-minded. I understand that some individuals may have doubts about counseling, but I ask that you give it a try and then decide if it’s not for you. I hope you choose to connect with me. Together we can work through your problems and concerns so you don’t have to deal with things alone.

I have over three decades as a leader by inspiring, coaching, speaking, and most importantly, leading by example, my views have been uniquely and carefully shaped. I embrace my “in the trenches” clinical approach and believe that leadership is a conscious decision made moment to moment, it supersedes gender, culture, position, or socio-economic status. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone and every day…it’s how we should live. I am often referred to as a “Professor” for my ability to teach a group how to bring hope out of questionable times. I use “Frame of references” to bring clarity to change real-life circumstances where the loss of hope and fear have been predominant. The fusion of my personal stories through conversation helps me connect with my audience and clients on an intimate, intense, and individual level. I have served as Chief Executive Officer and /or a Senior Consultant for public and privately traded Healthcare organizations. In addition to being a Licensed Psychotherapist, Licensed Marriage Therapist, and Licensed Family Therapist, Certified in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, Certified Personal Trainer and past owner of Lake Houston Gym and Fitness, I am the author of Living in Green Pastures with Life Storys, a published inspiration/motivational book, and co-publisher of “Treatment Effectiveness in Adult Partial Hospitalization”. Before my leadership efforts, I was a competitive collegiate football athlete and a champion both nationally and internationally in bodybuilding, health and fitness. I currently hold over 27 titles in bodybuilding and have conducted numerous workshops on Wellness / Fitness. Finally, I am a former consulting therapist for the National Basketball Association and served on the board of advisors for The Shoulder, Inc., Harris County, and awarded past Outstanding Young Men in America. I look forward to meeting you and designing a plan to help you meet your personal goals now and in the future. The Best, Lawrence Story
