Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Anique Gonzalez and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have earned my Master's degree in Counseling from Texas A&M University, a CACREP university. My experience has been working with mental health disorders, specifically Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. I also have experience working with individuals struggling with emotional distress, stress, anxiety, trauma/abuse and relationship issues. I have been fortunate to work in outpatient, inpatient and private settings. Counseling is my passion and I wholeheartedly believe in the benefits of the therapeutic process when work is put in. I implement a person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused and holistic approach to the therapeutic process. The therapeutic process is most effective when treatment and approaches are tailored to the client. Implementing person centered therapy with my clients is used to identify their struggles, goals for the therapeutic process and began working at a stage and pace that is best suited for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidenced based technique which helps implement change in our thought processes, feelings and behaviors. I believe in people, their resiliency, and their ability to change their situation and habits. I believe in everyone’s ability to recover and evolve from difficult life situations when provided with support. As humans, life experiences can be traumatic, significantly stressful, and impact our ability to navigate the waters at times. My passion is to aid people in their road to recovery and the pursuit of healthier outcomes for themselves and those they love. Counseling is not a one size fits all. It is vital to tailor counseling services to the needs of my client and offer them a safe, non-judgmental space to work through their struggles and find healing. I am a counselor that believes the therapeutic process takes time in order to see changes in problem areas. Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step! The journey does not have to be taken alone and I look forward to working with you!

Elaijia Eaton, LPC, LCMHC, LCDC, Life Enrichment Advisor (the non-conformist therapist) Introduction Hi you! I commend you for being here! Reaching out for support takes real courage, which is often the first step toward clarity. While, I’m not your typical therapist, a very modern and forever changing one, I respect diversity and the unique nature of humans. My approach is non-traditional, real, and grounded in the belief that change doesn’t have to look one way to work. It's not a linear process. We welcome Prochaska's Stages of Change here in whatever order it appears. However, clients can expect to be challenged, confronted, and held accountable. Readiness or lack thereof can impact the way one receives therapy, so we glide to the level of invasiveness relevant to the client. Collaboration is the unique skill used in therapy with me. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) based in Texas. I’ve worked in the human services field for years—well before becoming fully licensed—supporting teens, adults, couples, and families across multiple systems. In the past, I worked full-time as a Family-Based Safety Service Specialist III, meaning daily tasks of working with children and families navigating high-stress, high-stakes situations. The high success rate of that work combined with the impact I have had with therapy clients deeply informs my practice. EXCITING-You get to be on the receiving end! Availability I’m currently accepting clients ages 16 and older for virtual counseling in Texas, South Carolina, and Vermont. Other states may soon be determined and will be discussed as things change. Who I Serve 
I work best with clients who often feel unseen in systems, families, traditional settings, school, friend groups, relationships, etc. This includes young adults, creatives, outliers, self-employed, unique minded folk (personality challenges), and individuals navigating complex personal, cultural, or systemic challenges. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship or identity concerns, addiction issues, pornography use, or are processing suicidal thoughts (non-crisis) or personality challenges, we should consult. What to Expect
Therapy with me Collaboration, honesty, communication, and authenticity. My space is open, multicultural, and judgment-free. I bring empathy, directness, and clarity—but you steer the ship. Think of me as your passenger seat navigator while you drive toward your goals. You bring the truth, I bring the pen and pad helping you to realign yourself with YOURSELF. Boundaries Matter
 All sessions are HIPAA-compliant and scheduled through the Betterhelp platform, its affiliates, and its offerings. Communication is limited to session time unless otherwise discussed. The text message option will likely be used for convenience-scheduling, tardiness, mishaps, homework topic reminders, technical issues, etc. To protect the integrity of clients, video call is my go-to in the client-counselor relationship. My role is to hold the canvas while the client paint through a collaborative relationship. Therapy works best when both the client and therapist show up fully and consistently. The therapist is better able to help clients when clients are comfortable sharing needs in an authentic fashion.
