I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, working with individuals, children, couples, and families. I take an eclectic, client-centered approach and often draw from solution-focused practices to help clients identify strengths, build practical skills, and move toward meaningful change.
I strive to create a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel heard and respected. My goal is to help clients make progress efficiently while fostering long-term growth, resilience, and well-being. I assign "homework" and will give gentle pushes, as needed. You are an adult so these bonus assignments are always optional.
I recently published The Relationship Roadmap and Adventure Guide and the soon to be released The Anxiety Atlas and Happiness Guide, I run a free monthly Anxiety, Depression, and Stress support group in my hometown of Hickory, which all my clients are invited to as a supplement to my work with them on Betterhelp. I love watching my clients grow into the best versions of themselves.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for A. "Roger" Crooks. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
He has been very good at giving me advice and helping me work through my problems. He helped me figure out how to move forward even though I was going through a hard time with my divorce.

Roger shows up listening both deeply and at the surface level. His suggestions are creative and always up to me. He does more than listen- he listens to understand. He demonstrates through our session his understanding of what I'm experiencing and often has a perspective I never thought of that helps me feel better- including using humor which I appreciate.
