I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who graduated from LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas, in 2016, practicing counseling for the past four years. I have experience working with all ages and many types of issues (relational and clinical), including ADHD, sexual abuse, physical abuse, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, divorce, personality disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, as well as additional problems that have affected my clients’ respective families.
I believe in a strong holistic approach that provides my clients a haven to work through life's challenges. My training also consists of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy as well as solution focused and narrative therapy along with other creative approaches to meet the mental health needs of my clients.
My goal for the counseling relationship is the client and the counselor will come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to define and explore present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rica Wangler. 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 feel like Rica is my accountability partner on my marathon journey to better healthy - physical, psychological, spiritual, emotional. She listens, challenges me, helps me understand my behavior, and provides suggestions for overcoming obstacles. I fully understand that I'm the one having to commit to new behaviors and behavior change, and Rica is right there by my side.
