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.

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!

Hello, my name is Dr. Gregory Dillon, LPC-S, and I look forward to meeting you. We all will face obstacles in life, but I believe meaningful change begins when we challenge the perspectives that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. My approach to counseling goes beyond simply "thinking outside the box." I encourage people to question the very frameworks, assumptions, and stigmas that may be limiting their growth, healing, and ability to live authentically. With more than 16 years of experience in clinical counseling, higher education, public service, and leadership, I bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to the therapeutic process. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate trauma, relationships, life transitions, emotional challenges, and questions of identity while creating a space grounded in reflection, accountability, acceptance, and meaningful change. Whether through counseling, teaching, or advocacy, I remain committed to challenging outdated narratives, reducing stigma, and helping people build lives that reflect their values. My goal is to help you develop greater clarity, resilience, and the confidence to move toward a more authentic and purposeful life.

I specialize in trauma and substance use treatment for veterans, service members, and civilians navigating PTSD, complex trauma, and addiction. I've worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, so I understand each stage of recovery presents its own unique obstacles. I know that recovery barriers like stigma, distrust, and even figuring out where to start can seem like Everest when filtered through the lens of trauma. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy - evidence-based, structured approaches designed to help my clients process trauma and build coping skills that hold up when the air feels thin. Sessions focus on reducing avoidance, managing triggers, and developing actionable relapse prevention strategies, one stage at a time. My job is to provide a space where you can do the hard work safely, meet you with the respect the process demands, and make sure you leave with tools that actually work.
