Find a licensed online therapist in Forney, TX

Welcomes to BetterHelp! My name is Malia and I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Colorado and Texas. I am so glad that you made a decision to get support and guidance! Therapy can be a big decision and it requires a lot of trust and vulnerability which is why it is my goal to help you feel safe to share and be yourself. I have been practicing therapy over 12 years and specialize in working with clients on a variety of areas such anxiety, depression, addictions, self esteem, grief, relationship issues, divorce and more. In our sessions, we will focus on the individual needs of each client with compassion, patience, non-judgement and understanding. I am a strength based therapist and focus on helping client’s see that they are resilient and help them work towards a new perspective. As a LMFT, while I no longer work directly with couples or families, I do work individually with clients from a relational model where we focus on how to best support you within your relationships with yourself, your personal life and professional life. We will talk about boundaries, work/life balance, values, and communication to name a few topics. We will focus on your individual needs as they relate to your current challenges and goals and discuss the impact relationship dynamics have on you. What we know is that our daily lives are impacted by those around us in every environment. That brings both a lot of support and also challenges. We will really focus on what you can control within yourself and model healthy behavior to those around you. This work will be about you, it’s for you to be your healthiest, best self. Many other topics outside of therapy can and will be explored as they pertain to you. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Client Centered Therapy, Positive Psychology, IFS tools and other approaches to help find a sense of inner control over thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I am honored you chose me as your provider and if you don't mind, my animals like sitting in on sessions at times. :) I am excited to work with you!

Hello there! I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed to provide psychotherapy in Texas. With me, you are working with a trained mental health professional. I received my bachelor's degree at St. Edward's University and my master's degree at The University of Texas, both in Austin, Texas. Over the past eighteen years, I have worked with people experiencing psychiatric crises, provided child protective services, and one-on-one therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns: chronic and severe mental illness (bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder); depression; anxiety; PTSD; end of life issues; grief and loss; parenting concerns. Thorough my career, I have the privilege of helping hundreds of individuals suffering with the lasting effects of trauma. I am experienced in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My approach is person-centered, and is tailored to your specific wants, needs, and goals. The best news is that emotional and/or psychological distress does not have to control your life!

I am Leeann Mickel, I have a masters degree in educational psychology with an emphasis on community counseling. I have my LPC, licensed professional counselor Masters level. I also have an LC DC licensed chemical dependency counselor. I have worked 20 + years in the field of service. I have had great success with clients who have experienced significant trauma. I have been Clinical Supervisor for a substance abuse residential setting. I am currently Clinical Director for the agency with whom I am employed at this time. I believe it to be my mission helping and serving. My approach is client centered we start where you are. I am very laid-back and personable, I have forever been told how easy it is to talk to me, even prior to my chosen career! That’s a plus when you’re a therapist! I have some clients who simply need an ear and guidance. Others are eager to get to the cause of what prompted them to reach out. Either is great. I understand that some people need to vent and receive professional advice. I tell all of my clients you have inside you now everything you need to heal and progress. My job is to guide you on the journey in this process of self discovery and healing. I also tell my clients that I will work just as hard as you in doing this, but I will never work harder. This would cause more harm by handicapping them if others around never allow my clients to learn through experience, and rob my client of demonstrating to themselves the opportunity to see how capable they actually are. I have worked with many populations: adolescents, adults with variety of disorders/conditions. Such as mental health diagnosis like depression, bi polar, anxiety, and PTSD. For the last six years I have led our adolescent program. I'm very familiar with self harming behaviors, and have a knack of being able to reach them and slowly process into self love. I also have extensive experience with grief which may look different and feel different among different clients. Even those who believe that have mourned and grieved, but truly have not. I look forward to working with you and helping you along your specific path. My schedule is very flexible, as a I only work from home, virtually/remote. During therapy it will be common to give 'experiments' following a session. The purpose for this is taking from our sessions and applying what you learn to your 'real life' outside of one session weekly for an hour.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in helping to manage stress or anxiety. I work with adults, children, and/or families/couples. I help by implementing an empathic view when I am with others so that I can more clearly understand what each person has been experiencing. In our first few sessions, you can expect us to discuss the main goals you would like to achieve throughout counseling. We will discover together some ways in which you can persevere and thrive. I am passionate about this work, because I love helping others learn more about how they can succeed not only for themselves, but also for those they care about.

If you're here, chances are life has been feeling a little heavy lately. Maybe you're overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, emotionally exhausted, struggling in relationships, or just tired of feeling like you have to keep it all together all the time. My name is Melissa and I work with adults facing all of those issues and more. My professional background includes hospice social work, child protection, and correctional mental health. Translate that from 'resume-speak' and it means I've had the privilege of supporting people through some of the more complicated parts of being human. I don't flinch at the hard stuff, and I definitely won't judge your story. My approach is warm, realistic, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation, not like you're being interrogated by someone holding a clipboard and asking "and how does that make you feel?" every 5 minutes. I want therapy to feel supportive, comfortable, and actually useful in your real life. I don't believe in generic, cookie-cutter advice, because life isn't cookie-cutter -- it's messy. Because of my background I specialize in high-acuity resilience. Together, we will look at the systemic grids you are navigating, identify where you are losing your peace, build healthier coping skills, and find ways to feel more grounded and connected to yourself. You can expect a therapist who shows up as a real human being, and you can show up exactly as you are. I will challenge you when you need it, support you fiercely when things are heavy, and give you actual tools to use when you leave our call. What I can offer is a steady, compassionate space to help you navigate the hard stuff and celebrate progress, and maybe even laugh a little along the way. Therapy can be serious work, but that doesn't mean we can't still be human in the process.
