Sometimes, navigating life's difficulties requires the help of a professional. No matter what your life experience, working with a therapist can be a step toward growth. Barriers to treatment, like a lack of available providers or transportation concerns, can make it challenging to find an in-person provider. An online platform like BetterHelp can make treatment more flexible and convenient.

With BetterHelp, you can work with a clinical psychologist, licensed professional counselor, or clinical mental health counselor from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you. Plus, you can change providers anytime until you find one with whom you have a good therapeutic relationship.

Therapists on the platform are experienced in counseling psychology and familiar with a broad range of treatment modalities. Whether you’re experiencing the stress of navigating the criminal justice system or dealing with life challenges like domestic violence, abuse, or other types of trauma, a therapist will work with you to understand your personal experience and help you learn coping skills for daily life.

Hello there! Glad you have come to my page. I am Vicki, a Licensed Counselor, Choice Theory Psychologist, and a psychology professor. I know it can be difficult to reach out, let alone find the right counselor. My goal is to be a springboard towards understanding on a road of discovery and healing. Whatever the challenge, big or small. Counseling like any other necessity in life. Like going to a specialist to get a broken bone set, an infection treated, even our car tuned up or tires changed, counseling can help recalibrate things that aren’t steering us where we want to go. The role of a counselor isn’t to fix anything or anyone. I don’t treat a diagnosis, I treat people. If you need someone to support you by listening, I can do that and more. I listen through a lens of psychological expertise to give you the best information for your situation. While I may hold expertise in mental health, you’re the expert in YOU. My aim is to help you find practical ways to make life work by applying basic psychological principles to everyday living. I believe in keeping things simple. That begins with awareness and that is a learning process. The approach I use in my work includes psychoeducation driven by humanistic and developmental theories and neuropsychological science. It is solution-focused but also leverages historical knowledge involving psychodynamic and developmental theory. I believe that all people have the capacity to change and achieve their highest potential given the right environment, experiences, information, and tools – those all involve changing the brain in some way and that only occurs in one of four ways: - Growth and development - Learning - Trauma - Virus or illness Often when we go to counseling because we’ve cycled around the same thoughts, emotions, and experiences for too long (usually the last two in that list). Fortunately, those have reliable patterns and are impacted by the top two in the list. Unfortunately, hijacking them to redirect can take some work. That’s where I can help. The good news is that the brain-body-behavior system can rewire. It’s a physiological reality. Some people only need a few sessions to get back on track while others take longer. There is no set timeline to unravel our inner experience in the face of external demand. Sometimes that stress is at the center of our struggles. The role of a counselor is not to give advice – you can get that from friends, colleagues and family. It’s a unique role that facilitates learning and growth dialed in to your unique needs and delivered in a way that challenges and empowers you to move forward by your own mechanisms and no hidden agendas on my part. A conduit of information at your disposal. My training and experience go back nearly twenty years. First as a Behavioral Management Specialist and mentor, serving as a faith-based counselor, then acquiring a master’s degree and professional licensing as well as being certified as a Reality Therapist in Choice Theory Psychology. Lastly, I completed ABD for a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and for the last few years, I’ve been a college adjunct professor. My career background spans corporate, clinical, non-profit, managed care and government mental health public policy. I’ve worked in various states including the Midwest and Southwest where I continue to be licensed. It’s been a privilege to serve a range of populations and learn diverse worldviews. If you are experiencing a life transition or relationship challenge today, emotionally, psychologically, at home or work, let my years of expertise and knowledge in psychology work for you today! Schedule a time and we can begin to work through it together.

Hello, my name is Craig. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of New Mexico with over five years of experience working as social worker in the medical field and in my private practice. My community is tri-ethnic and I have worked with many people from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, including, but not limited to, persons from Indigenous and Hispanic heritages. My work in the medical field has also brought me experience working with others who have a wide range of concerns including chronic illness, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and financial concerns. My counseling style is open, warm, and inviting. My goal is to work in tandem with clients and provide a safe and non-judgmental environment. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, understanding, and patience. I believe that everyone possesses the answers that they seek within in, but sometimes they need some gentle assistance to lead them to those answers that they seek. I am a practitioner and strong believer in using solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapy to address your specific and unique needs. I also believe that therapy is not cookie cutter or one size fits all, and I will ensure that you receive a treatment plan and dialogue which is directly catered for you. It takes courage to seek treatment and I commend you for taking action and self-care, so that you may live a more fulfilling and happier life filled with growth and positive change. I am here for you, ready to be of service, support, and empowerment. I look forward to working with you!

My role then becomes a guide and companion on the alternative life journey that people choose. The first step on your new journey has been taken by reaching out for help. I look forward to traveling along that journey with you for a while.

I am licensed in Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Connecticut with 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression and other life issues. I operate from a mental wellness perspective as opposed to a mental illness perspective. This means that you, the client must be seeking mental wellness and believe that it is possible. If you have been told that you are damaged, broken, or defective and you prefer not to view yourself that way I can help. I teach clients how they are creating their moment to moment experience using three universal concepts of mind, consciousness, and thought. When clients are able to realize how they are creating their painful experience of life, they become able to stop doing that. They experience a dramatic paradigm shift that empowers them to be happier, more content and peaceful than they ever imagined possible. *** This is not to deny that you are currently having or have had very painful experiences. It is an invitation see something new that can empower you to move forward with a calm and clear confidence.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
