Therapy can be beneficial for more than those experiencing a mental health crisis. While it can be essential for those with mental health concerns to get help, therapy can also be helpful for goal setting, learning to build healthier relationships, and guiding the path to self-discovery. When it comes to finding a therapist, San Angelo, TX can offer greater variety than surrounding rural areas, but it isn’t always easy to find the right therapist even in a metro area. 

One reason for this is that in the field of mental health counseling there are a number of evidence-based approaches that can be more or less effective depending on the challenges being addressed. A registered play therapist can be just the provider to help a child with behavior struggles, but veterans programs may be a better option for a former soldier experiencing PTSD. Therapy is an individual process, and the non-profit clinic down the street may not have what you need. That’s where online therapy can help. 

Online therapy through BetterHelp offers over 30,000 mental health professionals that specialize in a variety of therapy approaches and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will identify and match you with a therapist that meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be an important factor in success, if you want to switch therapists you can do so at no extra cost. 

Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for 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. 

If you live in the Concho Valley area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, whether for processing traumatic life experiences, resolving family conflict, or working on self-awareness, there is no better time to reach out. BetterHelp can connect you to the highest quality professionals to offer the tools you need to get started on your mental health journey.

My formal education and professional experience have prepared me to counsel individuals, couples, families and groups My primary theoretical approach is cognitive behavior therapy. This is a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. My goal is to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind client’s difficulties, and so change the way they feel. I am committed to helping all individuals. I understand asking for help can be challenging and uncomfortable for some. My goal is to create a space where the client can be open, vulnerable, and communicate their feelings without judgment. I work with clients from all backgrounds and cultural settings. I personally invite you to experience finding hope within yourself to navigate through life. I invite clients to my office. It’s warm and welcoming. Our first session is a Consultation. During this session we will discuss why you have chosen to seek counseling as a solution to your needs. The next few sessions will involve an evaluation of your needs. I will be able to offer you some first impressions of what our work will include and a treatment plan to follow, if you decide to continue with therapy. Therapy involves a large commitment of time and resources such as money and mental and emotional energy, so it is important to select the right therapist to work with you and your family.

I was a professor of social work for 23 years, and I continue to supervise social workers toward their clinical licensure. I have guided at least 40 social workers in 3 states in this way, and so I am sometimes considered the "therapist's therapist." During my activities in teaching and supervision, I continued to provide therapy to clients with various concerns, so that I continually learned and became current in many approaches and techniques. I have taught, published, and presented at conferences a great deal in the areas of grief and bereavement as well as mental health in the health care field, especially that of veterinary professionals. I have also participated in and published about the impact and mental health concerns during and after natural disasters, including the current pandemic and several hurricanes. As a therapist, I am interested in the mental health of healthcare professionals of all stripes, as well as their significant others. I have worked in these environments, and I understand the stressors which lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and breakdown in relationships. So if you are looking for a mature therapist who can empathically respond to your unique situation, I would love to meet you.

I am a Clinical Social Worker, licensed in California, Texas, and Alabama and I have been practicing Social Work for seven years. I currently live in Alabama so I am in Central Time for scheduling purposes. I have worked in various settings, including residential psychiatric treatment facilities, in-home therapy, as well as providing therapy in an office setting and through telehealth services. I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, families, and the older adult population. I have a large amount of experience working with anxiety, depression (including intense training on post-partum mood disorders), trauma, family conflicts, grief/loss, and parenting issues. My approach to therapy is to first and foremost build a strong and positive therapeutic relationship with my clients. As a therapist, I focus on each person's specific individual needs, meeting the client where they are at in the present moment, and adjusting my style to meet their needs. I am a solution focused, strengths based therapist but I also utilize components of cognitive therapy and trauma-informed therapy as needed. My ultimate purpose as a therapist is to provide positive support and a safe space for someone to open up and process any thoughts, feelings, and emotions that they find would be helpful for them. I look forward to working with you!
