I work with clients with a variety of issues. I find that most of the time, people seek help because they realize that their life is just not where they want it to be, and they realize that there is something more. I help clients deal with the things that they feel are holding them back, whether it be circumstances, trauma, history, or things they believe about themselves. Although I offer counseling services to people from all walks of life and belief (or non-belief) systems, I also have extended training in Pastoral (meaning Christian) Counseling. I work with people to pinpoint their goals, define the obstacles to the goals, and explore the origins of unhealthy beliefs and thought patterns that are holding your back. The fact of the matter is that we all have issues and problems to work through. The good news is that you don't have to do it alone. I want to help you work through the things that are holding you back from finding your purpose and peace.

My name is Sylvia Akingbade, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have worked in the mental health field for over seven years, providing support to children, adults, and individuals who are elderly or living with disabilities. Through these years of experience, I’ve come to deeply understand that we all need someone to help us process life’s challenges. Sitting with people from all walks of life, I’ve realized that this work is more than a career—it’s my calling. I approach therapy with a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy. CBT offers a collaborative framework where we work together to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, always keeping your goals at the forefront. Person-Centered Therapy allows you to take the lead in our sessions, creating a space that is driven by your needs and comfort level. I believe in meeting you where you are, with empathy and without judgment. In every session, my goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. You are in control of your journey, and I am here to guide and support you along the way. I believe that when we focus on you as a whole person, the path to healing becomes clearer. It takes courage to take the first step, and I encourage you to keep showing up—for yourself and for the growth you’re seeking. I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey.

Hello and welcome! I am an EMDR Certified Therapist. I believe in EMDR and the help it gives people to heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. It could change your life! EMDR is a psychotherapy approach that is used to treat trauma-related disorders and emotional distress. EMDR has gained recognition as an effective treatment for various mental health issues, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic memories. I put my faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of 18 and life has never been the same. That does not mean it has been without trouble. I would like to think it impacts everything I do though. It makes me a better husband to my beautiful wife and a better dad to my kiddos. It truly is a privilege to sit across from a person or couple that says, “Life is a little bit broken right now, and I need some help.” I have significant experience working with Anxiety, Trauma, and Adolescents over the past 14+ years, and if you, your spouse, or your child need help clarifying any portion of my information, please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to sitting across from you.

Find a Therapist Near You in Dalhart , Texas

Finding a licensed therapist near you in Texas can be an important step toward improving your mental health and overall well-being. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes, working with a qualified mental health professional can offer meaningful support.

Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities. Online therapy makes it easier to connect with a therapist near you without being limited to nearby offices. BetterHelp connects you with licensed therapists authorized to practice in Texas, allowing you to attend sessions online from the comfort of your home.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you ensures that your provider meets state licensing requirements and professional standards in Texas (TX). Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage emotional challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating ongoing mental health concerns, while others want guidance during stressful periods or major life transitions. You do not need a mental health diagnosis to work with a therapist. Many individuals seek therapy to improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage stress, or gain greater self-awareness.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists on BetterHelp support adults across Texas with a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges, including:

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Texas

  • Flexible scheduling: Sessions that fit around work, family, or school commitments
  • Expanded provider options: Access licensed therapists across Texas, not just nearby offices
