Find a licensed online therapist in Floresville, TX

Hello My name is Anita and I am a licensed Professional Counselor Associate but I also am a licensed chemical dependency counselor. I have about 5 years of experience treating clients with anything from addiction, depression, PTSD, Grief and loss, and Anger Management issues. I like to think I have the ability to meet the client where they are at and work a program of recovery with the client as a direct lead in his/her own mental health.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1990 with clients in the state of Texas. I have worked with clients experiencing a broad range of issues and concerns including trauma, PTDS, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, parenting skills, self-care, and many other psychological issues. There are 2 essential things to be mindful of when engaging in therapy. First, all negative behavior is the result of unhealed wounds we carry around with us, knowingly or unknowingly, from the past. Second, all anger issues serve to cover deep levels of pain or hurt, and that is because anger is not a primary emotion. Anger is a secondary emotion provoked by hurtful feelings. I have helped many individuals who have experienced trauma (physical, mental, emotional and sexual) during childhood and adulthood. Using informed trauma therapy, clients learn to embrace the wound created by their trauma without having to relive any traumatic events. Steps to the healing process include: (1) examining the negative effects of trauma currently in one's life, (2) processing the impact that trauma has had on one's growth and development, (3) overcoming anxious thoughts and feelings of "not being enough," (4) accepting the "radical acceptance" of oneself and embracing the path to total healing, (5) developing effective coping strategies including learning to self-soothe, regulate emotions, establish healthy self-esteem, and develop skills to communicate and manage conflict effectively. My counseling style is best described as compassionate, accepting, fair, direct, straightforward, solutions-oriented, and motivated to help clients achieve their therapeutic goals. I see my role as the individual entrusted to help my clients face their fears and embrace radical acceptance of Self. My clients are ideally positioned to develop effective coping skills and facilitate the changes they want in their lives. Every session is about moving clients toward the goals they have established for their counseling experience. It can be frightening to take the first steps to engage with a therapist you have never met. It may be helpful to understand that I am experienced and well versed in the process of healing and facilitating change. Again, it's important to remember that all negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors are likely the result of a wound from the past that has not healed. I will listen to your thoughts and feelings, clarify issues associated with those thoughts and feelings, and guide you through the process for healing your wounds and facilitating change. My goal is to help you and guide you. You and I will work as a team and be in partnership regarding the direction of your counseling as well as specific goals for treatment. I look forward to working with you! Please take the first step toward the process of healing and change! We can do this together!

Welcome to BetterHelp! I look forward to knowing you and helping you to have a better, more peaceful and fulfilling life. My approach to counseling is relaxed - one person listening to and sharing with another - the simple, but not always easy, principles that make life better. A person can go to college, pass the tests and get the license. But a human being with heart, combined with past experiences can feel another's difficulties and emotional pain. Because of the victories and tragedies in my own life, I can relate to the hardships of others. Most of my career has been dedicated to helping people with emotional issues that steal peace and fulfillment. My graduate research was in the field of spiritual development. Whatever your personal religious beliefs might be, I am skilled at helping you find spiritual solutions to life's physical and emotional problems. I have 34 years experience assisting people heal from emotions relationship, and purpose of life issues. I relate to others, not based on gender, race, politics, or creed, but on the "the content of their character," as Dr. ML King said.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or feeling stuck in old patterns, you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to provide a supportive, practical, and compassionate space where you can gain insight, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful change. I am currently accepting new clients and, in many cases, can offer appointments right away. I provide evening, weekend, and holiday availability to accommodate busy schedules. If you're ready to begin therapy, I welcome the opportunity to help you take the next step toward healing, growth, and greater well-being.
