About Me

Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Anique Gonzalez and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have earned my Master's degree in Counseling from Texas A&M University, a CACREP university. My experience has been working with mental health disorders, specifically Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. I also have experience working with individuals struggling with emotional distress, stress, anxiety, trauma/abuse and relationship issues. I have been fortunate to work in outpatient, inpatient and private settings. Counseling is my passion and I wholeheartedly believe in the benefits of the therapeutic process when work is put in.

I implement a person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused and holistic approach to the therapeutic process. The therapeutic process is most effective when treatment and approaches are tailored to the client. Implementing person centered therapy with my clients is used to identify their struggles, goals for the therapeutic process and began working at a stage and pace that is best suited for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidenced based technique which helps implement change in our thought processes, feelings and behaviors. I believe in people, their resiliency, and their ability to change their situation and habits. I believe in everyone’s ability to recover and evolve from difficult life situations when provided with support. As humans, life experiences can be traumatic, significantly stressful, and impact our ability to navigate the waters at times. My passion is to aid people in their road to recovery and the pursuit of healthier outcomes for themselves and those they love. Counseling is not a one size fits all. It is vital to tailor counseling services to the needs of my client and offer them a safe, non-judgmental space to work through their struggles and find healing. I am a counselor that believes the therapeutic process takes time in order to see changes in problem areas. Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step! The journey does not have to be taken alone and I look forward to working with you!

Anique is such a patient, not judgmental, caring therapist! She have me practical steps in how to approach CBT that I could apply to manage my anxiety, as well as explored some of the baggage I was handling in real time. She is knowledgeable, kind, and extremely helpful in providing help with anxiety. A Godsend!

Anique is probably my favorite person in my life right now. She has helped me heal things that i didn’t even know were broken. I don’t know where I would be today without therapy and without Anique.

Written by C.H. on Mar 13, 2021 after therapy with Anique for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder

I definitely recommend Anique. I did therapy with her for a few months last year and she really helped. I was able to find the strength to leave an abusive relationship because of her. She helped through the process of some other issues. I'm back in therapy and hope to continue my healing with her help that I'm so grateful for.

When I initially started Better Help I was paired with Anique, I wasn’t ready for services so I left. When I was ready, I requested her after being paired with someone with limited communication.. Not knowing anything but her profile. It has been a handful of months now and she has helped me process SO MUCH. I have really improved on my thought process while understanding and creating boundaries. I cannot tell you enough how beneficial therapy with Anique has been for me.
