Finding a therapist can be one of the most influential and supportive steps you allow yourself to take as you seek to manage mental health conditions, achieve personal growth, and bolster your positivity. A therapist or counselor can help you navigate life’s challenges, applying the principles of counseling psychology and other mental health fields to help you achieve meaningful change. Whether you are working on very serious concerns, like overcoming sexual and physical abuse or other forms of past trauma, or merely want to proactively learn new skills and strategies for self-betterment, a mental health provider can likely help. 

There are many types of mental health professionals. Those who provide counseling services typically have at least a master’s degree, often in social work, clinical mental health counseling, or marriage and family therapy. Many therapy providers also have doctorates, often in clinical and counseling psychology. Most providers with a doctorate carry the title “psychologist” but may refer to themselves as therapists. Those with a master’s degree might go by titles like licensed professional counselor, licensed marriage and family therapist, or licensed clinical social worker. It is worth noting that the terms “counselor” and “therapist” are nearly synonymous and often used interchangeably. 

In almost every jurisdiction, a graduate degree and advanced practical training are required for licensure. For example, a counselor graduating from a master’s-level program has a significant amount of training left before they can practice independently and become a licensed professional counselor. After graduating, they must practice under a licensed professional counselor supervisor, typically for thousands of hours, before being eligible for licensure. 

Many mental health professionals choose to pursue even more training in an area of specialized focus. For example, a practitioner may seek additional training in strategies that help adults identify challenges in their lives or training to help children overcome physical abuse. Therapists often work in both inpatient and outpatient settings, helping both children and adults lead more fulfilled lives.  

If you’re ready to meet with a therapist, Little Elm, TX, has plenty of options to choose from. As you make your decision, you may want to consider online therapy. Online therapists have the same training and credentials as traditional therapists but conduct therapy remotely via phone or computer. The therapists below are all highly qualified online practitioners, and you may want to consider them as you find a mental health professional who works well for you.

Hello! My name is Paul Andrew Germany. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and have worked with people from teens to seniors of differing back grounds, cultures, beliefs, and life choices. The majority of my career I have been employed by UTMB-CMC as a Mental Health Clinician. I can’t remember a time when I was not fascinated and intrigued by the subject of psychology and mental health; and it remains one of my passions to this day. I pursued my BA in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and continued my post-graduate studies in clinical psychology at Stephen F. Austin State University earning my MA. While working in the field full-time I continued to enroll in advanced counseling courses and exceeded the state’s criteria to become a License Professional Counselor. With years of continuing education and the motivation to be most effective counselor possible, I have stayed up to date with emerging theories, evidence-based techniques, and am proficient in many counseling methods. My counseling style is tailored to the individual with whom I’m working, however, I treat all with compassion, empathy and respect. The techniques I tend to utilize most often are those that have shown to be most effective. They include Cognitive Behavioral, Client Centered, Solution Focused, and Mindfulness Based Therapies. However, this again is dependent upon the issues we are addressing and goals you wish to achieve. I have experience treating individuals and groups with a wide range of mental health issues. From life coaching to treating patients with chronic mental health disorders in an inpatient setting, from agoraphobia to trichotillomania, there are only a few areas out of my wheelhouse. In those rare cases, I would work just as hard helping you find a therapist better suited to your needs. Whether you are seeking help for a severe issue and require long term therapy or you are just wanting an old school psychodynamic experience with a warm and non-judgmental ear to listen, I’m here. I commend you for taking this first step towards a better you; now let’s get to work.

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Little Elm therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Little Elm due to a higher cost of living.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Little Elm?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Little Elm therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Little Elm therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Little Elm therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Little Elm therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in TX, therapists may be booked out with clients.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Little Elm counselor?

Before seeing your Little Elm therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the therapy process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, let them know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about. They may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy in Little Elm.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what therapy entails. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback and advice from a therapist. A Little Elm licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find through therapy with a Little Elm counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Little Elm, Texas can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Little Elm has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online therapy to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
