Finding therapists serving Texas can feel harder than it should. In a fast-growing state like Texas (TX), people in major metro areas such as Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio may face long waits when looking for in-person care, while those in smaller communities may want broader options than a local search can offer. BetterHelp helps people connect with licensed therapists serving Texas through online therapy, making it easier to find support that fits real life. For those looking for a therapist in Texas for ongoing stress, low mood, trauma, or ADHD-related challenges, online care can reduce travel time and open the door to a wider range of licensed professionals.

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans, and eligible members' average copay is $23* per session. BetterHelp also offers a subscription option that typically ranges from $70 to $100 per week. With more than 30,000 qualified providers globally and average match times of 24 to 48 hours*, BetterHelp can make it easier to find online therapists in Texas who fit a person's needs, schedule, and preferences. This added flexibility may be helpful across TX, whether someone lives in a busy city or wants care from home in a more discreet setting.

My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space with genuine non-judgmental support for clients to heal & grow. As an eclectic therapist, I use holistic knowledge from certifications and evidence based practices to ensure treatment is applicable to specific clients. This approach allows tailoring the counseling experience for client’s best self by mixing interventions such as CBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Mindfulness, and Communication Skills. My naturally investigative and assertive characteristics allow me to explore and find what is best suited for the client’s needs at the time; hence personalizing interventions that are chosen. Clinical experience includes working with adults, adolescents, couples, and veterans experiencing: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, triggers/traumas, big life changes, and relationship issues. My counseling style is very holistic, empathetic, relaxed, lots of smiles and laughs even through the tears. My approach best fits clients that are looking for a therapist that will hold them accountable for their choices and for those ready to unlearn what’s no longer healthy or helpful.
