Thank you for your interest in learning more about me. My name is Farhat Hasan, and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have an Educational Specialist degree in Counseling from Mississippi State University (2016) and a Master of Education degree in Counseling from the University of Mississippi (2004). With 17 years of experience as a counselor in both face-to-face and online modalities, I have provided services to clients from diverse backgrounds in various settings, including schools, residential drug rehabilitation centers, in-patient and outpatient facilities, as well as group homes.
My extensive professional background in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, clinics, and schools has equipped me with exceptional abilities and clinical expertise, enabling me to assist my clients in achieving their unique goals.
I have experience working with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anger management, family conflict, relationship conflicts, drug abuse, post-partum stress, and trauma/abuse. Additionally, I have worked with clients dealing with depression, mild autism, international students/spouses, and immigrant populations.
My counseling philosophy is based on accepting the individual, considering their background, life experiences, and personal beliefs. Employing a client-centered approach, I collaborate with clients to help them develop insight and identify their strengths, empowering them to make immediate changes. I also assist them in monitoring their progress to ensure they continue working towards their goals. I provide guidance, encouragement, and, when appropriate, challenge them to overcome obstacles independently.
Above all, I offer a listening ear to understand and validate clients' thoughts and emotions, helping them devise a plan to move forward. Therapy, for me, is a journey that can be both enjoyable and straightforward. I meet my clients where they are, recognizing the courage and determination it takes to seek help. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I've been working with Farhat Hasan through BetterHelp, and I can honestly say that she has been a lifeline during one of the most challenging periods of my life. With so much going on—from navigating a complex divorce and dealing with multiple terminal health issues to managing the grief of losing my father and the stresses of building a startup—Farhat has provided the support, insight, and guidance I desperately needed.
Farhat is incredibly responsive, proactive, and attentive to my needs. She understands the multifaceted nature of my circumstances and addresses each issue with empathy and expertise. Whether I'm struggling with emotional turmoil or need practical advice, Farhat always knows how to guide me toward clarity and healing.
Her therapeutic approach is both compassionate and practical, making me feel heard, understood, and supported at every step. I can't thank Farhat enough for her difference in my life. She's not just a therapist; she's a true partner in my journey to overcome these challenges.
BetterHelp is lucky to have someone as skilled and dedicated as Farhat on their team, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking support during difficult times.

Farhat is really great as a therapist. Some therapists are very clinical and might seem mechanical. This is not Farhat at all. She is very much like a family member that is very invested in working through your problems. She is direct and straight forward with her advice and guidance, but there is a very caring tone. When I first started with her it was a very traumatic period of my life. Death of a parent, separation from family, dissolution of a marriage, and almost lost my job. So much all at once. Farhat took all of that and has helped me work through it at a consistent pace. There are times I wanted to slack off but Farhat definitely explained why we were doing certain exercises or practices. In the end she has been 100% on the money.

Farhat is an excellent therapist. She is a great listener, objective, compassionate and is straight to the point. I’ve struggled with depression for over 15 years due some traumatic life events that kept piling up. I’ve been to various good therapist before, but Farhat is the first to help me truly understand myself, my struggles and help me see the light for the first time in a very long time. She was able to get straightened to the soirce within the first couple of sessions. I’m so glad I was connected to Farhat through BetterHelp.

Farhat has been extremely helpful so far. I’ve seen a lot of therapists, and so it was great for me that she was really able to offer insight and relevant suggestions to me very early on in our meetings.

I worked with Ms Hasan over a few months to sync with my emotions. It was a great experience with action oriented sessions. I walked away with practical action items after every session and we worked on multiple issues in this way. After I was managing myself a lot better we decided it was time for me to try the tools and techniques on my own. I loved this independence and I had a very productive time with her. I went into therapy with specific goals and I came out of it having achieved most of them. I am so thankful to Ms Hasan!

Farhat and I first interacted a little over one year ago. I at the time wasn’t too sure about therapy but knew I wanted better for myself overall. Still.. I chose to ignore & run away/ temporarily fix my issues. Overtime I stopped keeping up with therapy, but Farhat still attempted to reach out. Now one year later I am back & more motivated than ever to become the best version of myself I can be. Farhat, didn’t give up on me & didn’t judge any of my issues/concerns.. it’s always been the lack on my end & so I will try harder from this point on. Thank you Farhat

I previously had Dr Hasan as a therapist in 2020. She helped me in so many ways. I returned to therapy in late February 2021 due to struggling with my last year of university during COVID, whilst waiting for an ADHD diagnosis and family issues.
Dr Hasan helped me to set a schedule that worked for me, whilst helping me to keep track of my progress. I would leave messages of my progress for her to keep myself accountable.
She has also helped me to deal with the family issues and manage them in a healthy way that will enable me to carry on with my studies. Apart from that she gave me many hints and tips to help me with my academic work and tutors.
I will forever be grateful for her help during the university year, she helped me stay on track and consistent.
Thank you Dr Hasan!

Hasan’s words I’ll never forget:
“Your work has brought you this far.”
Even though I’ve only been using better help for about 5 months, I have experienced more growth and have found more answers than years of trying to do it on my own. With Hasan I was able to work through and heal my abusive past at the root, instead of putting Band-Aids over it like I had been in the past. Okay for a little and then I’d be back where I started.
Hasan is someone I will forever be thankful for and now I can’t wait for a future with myself and days where I love to be alive. Something I appreciate most about Hasan, is how she has you work to uncover things and dive within yourself to get to them. It really is 95% you and 5% therapy with someone to talk through what you’ve uncovered and this is what Hasan has done for me. Thank you!
I hope for anyone who is reading that can relate too having a dark/troubled past that still has a hold of them, to have the courage to finally reach out and get the help they need. I never thought I could get out of it and yet here I am, and now it’s your turn :)
All the best! <3

I love that we can talk and get to the Root of the issue. She understand that I don't need fluff I want to be better and see things better. She seems to understand when I do not agree with her and we can talk out why or why not. She has helped me see and understand why people in my life do or say things. She has also helped me focus my attention. I love doing the video recordings she Recommended in our 1st session. It has helped me so much in communicating my frustrations and emotions and not getting sucked in to overthinking.

Farhat has been an extremely helpful and reliable counselor for me. I come from a background of having had counselors rush me for time and not really listen the way I would hope they would, however, Farhat has been the complete opposite of what my previous concerns where. She is a very good listener, gives honest feedback, does not judge, and genuinely cares to see her clients improve. I can tell it’s something that she actually cares about and I don’t know if was just my other personal experiences with my previous counselors or what not but Farhat really changed the counseling world for me! I would highly recommend her for anyone hesitant to begin counseling. She is very good at responding, she always knows what to say, and she’s great at sending her clients useful information (worksheets, videos, things to relieve anxiety and stress) that really do actually help. Farhat continues to exceed my expectations every session I have with her and I always look forward to when I can speak with her next. Truly count yourself lucky if you get assigned to her. I promise you won’t regret it and will be thankful that you got the opportunity to meet her!
Dear Farhat and the BetterHelp staff, you really chose the right counselor for your business! Hands down, the best counselor I’ve ever had. Thank you for matching me up to the first counselor that has ever truly helped me begin to pick up the pieces of what I want in my life. A man has never been truly more grateful.
Keep up the great work Farhat you’re the best!!

I came to Better Help when I felt my stress was at its breaking point. My relationships, my work, and my quality of life were all suffering because of my self-esteem.
I was able to talk through my issues with Farhat, who provided me a judgement-free, safe space to speak in. Her insight and understanding of my issues allowed me to recognise myself better, and she provided me the tools I needed to make improvements in my life. The worksheets especially helped me look at my own thoughts rationally, and I think that was a huge help in settling my mind.
After 6-8 weeks of regular sessions, I feel so much lighter and happier. I feel more capable of taking care of myself, and I can recognise that problems that seem massive can be broken down and dealt with. It takes small steps and a willingness to get better.
I'm really grateful for Farhat's guidance and her listening ear. She's super easy to talk to, full of amazing examples and advice, and just overall wonderful. I felt like I was being heard. Thank you, Farhat!

This is probably the first time that taking to a stranger fees like talking to a old friend who knows me. She listens, gathers my words and puts them so that they make sence. I am so grateful that I got Farhat as my counselor.
Written on May 30, 2020 after therapy with Farhat for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, parenting issues, anger management, and coping with life changes
The catalyst for me beginning therapy was a violent and traumatic interaction with a close family member 3 months ago. I was desparate to move past the pain and anger. However, from my past experiences it was clear that the usual strategies of bottling my emotions and soldiering on, although likely to get me through in the short term, were unlikely to be truely effective. Looking back to that event, I realize how far I’ve come and my sessions with Farhat contributed greatly to this. Simply having the opportunity to talk through what had happened with someone impartial, who wouldn’t judge me or the other parties related was extremely powerful. Having the option to still do so when I didn’t yet feel ready to ‘see’ someone removed a huge barrier to me seeking help. Speaking to Farhat by telephone, as I initially did, thankfully didn’t prevent transmission of her warmth and compassion. Our sessions were always shaped by whatever I brought with me. They raised searching questions and provided me with information that helped me gain valuable insight into some of the possible drivers behind mine and others’ behaviors. Farhat also shared practical tools which I could use to interrogate my thought patterns and also help me to
manage and work through challenging emotions. Working with Farhat, I gained language which has helped me to deepen my understanding of myself. I rediscovered the motivation and courage to reconnect with parts of myself I had neglected, and also with other people. The journey I’ve taken over the past months hasn’t been linear and has consisted of low points as well as high points. There were times when I did not look forward to sessions and felt like I just didn’t want to talk. Despite this, I showed up and was always glad that I did. It is said that awareness is the first step to change and I feel that therapy is an invaluable part of this first step. I’m extremely grateful to Farhat for holding space for me, for reminding me to have compassion for myself and for others and for helping me to identify areas that need healing and attention as I move forward.

Farhat has The Sight. Her keen understanding of multicultural elements and how they affect each other allows her to see situations from several angles and provide excellent counseling. I appreciate how human Farhat is - her humor keeps the connection genuine while her compassion makes me feel like she always has my back.

Throughout my journey I have felt supported by Farhat and she is so quick at getting back to my messages even if we live in very different time zones! Her expertise has given me great tools that help with the situations that I have been working with. She could read me like an open book and was able to give me advice on how I could understand myself and my behaviour better. It has been an absolute delight to work with Farhat. Her approach is very natural, almost like talking to a good friend she is always positive and encouraging and I could already see progress after our very first session.

I sought help after experiencing panic attacks because of my grandmother’s illness. After a few sessions with Farhat, I no longer experienced these panic attacks. After our discussions I began to have perspective. She also suggested ways in which I could connect with my grandma despite her illness. She understood and acknowledged my feelings and taught me strategies on best to change my disruptive and unhelpful thoughts. I feel as though I am more better equipped to deal with my anxiety.

Farhat has been very kind and honest with me. She allows me to say all that I need to say, express all that I need to express, and then she gives me advice/feedback. She points out when I've approached something in a positive way and helps me connect current issues/situations with past trauma while still encouraging me to reflect, accept, and move on. I have trouble confronting the negativity in my life and in my thoughts, so she provides a safe space for me to share.
I also have a lot of anxiety and I overthink things frequently. She provides me with helpful references/reading material and worksheets to help me focus and sort out my thoughts on my own.
These last few weeks have been a huge help for me.

Farhat was a lifesaver for me. When I met her, I was at what I think was the lowest moment in my life - griefing, suffering from panic/anxiety attacks - feeling as if getting out of bed in the morning was a great feat. I couldn't even think of a future that wasn't about just surviving. Less than 6 months down the line, I know that the loss I suffered will always be part of my story, but I know that it's not the end. I've finalized that chapter, given it enough of a conclusion to be able to pick up again. I'm extremely optimistic about the future. What Farhat has done for me is make me see that there is always life after loss and our pain doesn't have to become our single story and what we keep carrying moving forward. Today, I can honestly say that I am happy. Very happy in fact. I see not only glimpses of who I was before my loss, but the realization that this is who I will always be, even with pain, grief, and all sorts of other difficulties that life may bring. She gave me the ability to pick up myself and draw on my inner resilience to begin this new, wonderful chapter of my life.

Farhat is a breath of fresh air! She is so warm and welcoming, her personality invites you to open up ad feel safe to speak and share! She had an amazing sense of humour and laughs with you through your experiences. I have seen several counsellors by my past and I feel she was the perfect match for me! She is understanding but will also not sugar coat things. She is a realist and will ask you the tough questions and make you self reflect. Counselling in not a magic fix it, you have to put in the work and she helps you in every way and gives you the tools but only if YOU are willing. She is never pushy and nothing feels forced but she knows the right questions to ask to draw out info you may not have known needs to be explored. I have been seeing her over a month now and plan to continue allowing her to help e grow. Highly recommend!!

Farhat really helps a lot with my PhD studying life and taught me some useful exercises to deal with my anxiety. With Farhat's help, I can also recognize some issues I always have in my relationship. By providing a professional perspective, Farhat is able to help me find the root reasons from my childhood that always affect my relationship with my partner. I really appreciate the experience. I would strongly recommend her to someone who suffers anxiety or who has challenges in their graduate study.

My experience with Farhat has been great. In September 2019, I started to look for help because my relationship with my significant other was worsening, especially due to my insecurities. I found BetterHelp and then Farhat. She understood immediately my problem, listened to me and proposed some different perspectives to embrace in my life. After 3 months, I can totally see how working on myself, together with Farhat, has improved my relationship and also other areas of my life. Definitely recommended.

I have had 4 sessions with Farhat and in all the 4 of them I ended up feeling better than before. Not because there were things said to me to make me feel better but because they were explained in the way that made my healing easier. It's not easy to get over any trauma but with proper counseling and support you can get out of any trauma big or small. In my sessions I learned to consider my feelings and to be true to myself. I learned to heal you have to forgive yourself for things you couldn't control and how there are all kinds of people in this world that we come across and how to deal with them. At times you feel things that you can't share with anyone because you are afraid people might judge you for feeling this way. In Farhat's sessions I could talk about my feelings without having to worry about anything.

I have found the support that Farhat has offered me very comforting and reassuring. She has helped me unhinge feelings that I was burying and festering by suggesting ways to move forward.

I was concerned that the mental trauma I have experienced would and could manifest itself with ill health, I now feel more positive and stronger. I will continue to use the tooIs I now have and endeavor to keep myself in a state of mind that I can manage regardless of changing situations. Thank you Farhat.
