Hi there!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. I am an independent Licensed Professional Counselor from the great state of Texas with a passion for working with individuals dealing with various life challenges. I graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a master of counseling degree. I specialize in everyday life problems, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, addiction , trauma and adjustment issues. I also have experience working with people from all walks of life, and assisting individual clients, couples and families experiencing relationship issues. I believe no individual is the same, so my goal is to empower you with specific tools needed to improve your situation. I currently provide individual services to clients experiencing suicidal thoughts, mental health, substance abuse, and PTSD utilizing a client centered, CBT, and solution focused approach to assist clients in therapy. I am also able to counsel from a faith based approach based on the need and at the request of my clients. You can expect to be treated with the dignity and respect you deserve in a judgement free environment.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lauretta Akpoyoware. 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.
I have been working with Laurette for about 3 months working on self discovery post marriage and motherhood. Reclaiming boundaries and reestablishing values. Laurette is a kind and warm listening ear. I never felt judged or uncomfortable. She always provided extra material if requested, tuned into me journal entries, and maintained open and flexible communication through a multitude of avenues. I’m sad to hear she will no longer be on this platform. Thank you for making yourself available to me.

Miss Lauretta is very, very good at what she does. She's incredibly thorough and makes sure to explain the hows and whys of things we discuss, which is very beneficial to me and my anxiety issues. She's also incredibly sweet and sympathizes in a way that doesn't make me feel pitied, but moreso acknowledged, which I love.

While it's still early in my therapy journey, Lauretta has been amazing in making me feel safe in our conversations, listening to my experiences and helping me understand them. I already feel more confident with the tools I've been given so far, and I can't wait to have more sessions with her. I highly recommend working with Lauretta if you can!
