Find a licensed online therapist in Bayside, TX

Hello and Welcome, My name is Melissa and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the states of Texas and Oklahoma although currently residing in Waco, TX. My experience in the mental health field has been focused primarily on working with families with young children and the specific challenges that face families, parents, and children. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been working to build my telehealth therapy practice. I have been providing EMDR therapy to treat trauma and other issues for the past three years and have seen the effectiveness of the treatment that is an evidence-based therapy for treatment of PTSD and additional mental health challenges including depression and anxiety. I work diligently to help my clients manage trauma responses, anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and relational challenges that are often present when dealing with a mental health struggle. I was led to the mental health field after completing my undergraduate degree at Texas A&M University in Nutritional Sciences. I have been working exclusively online since the beginning of the pandemic. I have continued to focus on identifying trauma responses and helping our nervous systems regulate after exposure to stress, adversity, and trauma. I have 8 years experience working with depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms and the courageous clients that are seeking help and hoping for a more peaceful way of living. My style as a therapist is typically warm but direct, collaborative, and mindful of your personal autonomy. I find myself using person-centered, attachment-informed, trauma-informed, and integrative treatment approaches to tailor your treatment plan to best meet your needs. I work best with individuals who are interested in self -reflection and developing a growth mindset. I utilize evidence-based treatments primarily including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Circle of Security Parenting (COS-P), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). In my experience, each client has unique needs that dictate the length of therapy. I believe in both structure and flexibility in therapy. After reading all of that, I want you to know I'm a real person just like you who is trying to live a fulfilling, meaningful life. I do not believe that therapy is a quick fix for all that ails but I do believe that with time, effort, and consistency we can work together to tap in to your innate resources to move toward wellness. As a person who has been on both sides of the proverbial couch, I know that therapy can be a powerful and important part of the journey! I wish you all the best as you carefully search for and select a clinician. If you choose, I look forward to being a part of your journey.

I am Gloria Gitlin. I am a professional counselor and a teacher. I have worked in private practice, a psychiatric hospital, and several agencies. My approach to counseling is multi-faceted, similar to my education. I have a Masters in Psychology and am certified as a professional counselor. Prior to going into the field of psychology, I obtained a Ph.D. in Linguistics. My interests lie in the area of language and its effect on cognitions and ultimately on behavior. I am a firm believer that what we think determines what we do. I like to do research on cognition and subsequent feelings and behavior. Many researchers have found that what we think and believe determines how we perceive the world, and how we perceive determines what we see and what we do. A change in perception can change the make-up of the world and one’s surroundings. Feelings are important, but can be misleading, even to ourselves. That would account for the many misunderstandings and disagreements, and hurt feelings. If we want to gain some control over life and its circumstances, we need to gain some insight into our thoughts and beliefs. That is what counseling is about. We will explore feelings, beliefs, and thoughts to try to determine what it is that is causing the disruption in your life. There is not a situation that cannot be improved upon by finding out who we are and the determining circumstances that led us to this point. Uncovering the problem is the first step to finding a solution. I would be happy to help you in the process of gaining some insight and some control over your life, so that you might enjoy a more harmonious existence and a more fulfilling life.

What life challenges are you experiencing that make day to day life a struggle? Are you anxious, worried, or depressed? Do you struggle with organization, lack of concentration or inability to focus? Have you had an overwhelming or traumatic situation that has left you with an inability to trust others, yourself or question your sense of safety in the world? If so, you are not alone. Excessive worry robs you of precious time you can never get back. What would it look and feel like to see symptoms of depression alleviated? You don't have to suffer in silence! Do you feel stuck? Do you have difficulty getting out of bed? Are you worried, anxious or fearful? Are you experiencing sadness, low mood, crying spells? Would you like to experience life differently but you're uncertain how or where to start? I can help you get started by first addressing how your thoughts affect everything else! If you have answered yes to any of these questions you are certainly not alone. Our world can be a complex and difficult place to navigate. I’d love to speak with you to see how I might be able to help. I provide a caring, warm, inviting and compassionate environment for you to conversate.
