Hello, and thanks for visiting my profile! My top specialties as a clinician include PTSD and Trauma, Addiction (both chemical and behavioral), along with Depression and other mood disorders. My therapeutic approaches involve pulling from many counseling techniques to find an approach that best fits the individual client. Some of those techniques include Cognitive Behavioral, Person Centered, Reality, and Narrative type therapies. I use an informed consent model, as knowledge equals empowerment. A little about me - Counseling was something I had always wanted to do, but I didn't pursue it until later in life. Years ago, I lost a spouse to suicide, and the grief was consuming. Once I was able to see more clearly, I enrolled in a Master of Counseling program in hopes of being able to ease the grief of others in similar situations. I did get my degree and My LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) license, and also accumulated significant life experience which, in short, has helped me become the therapist I want to be. For example, I am a recovering addict, going on nineteen years' clean time, and am active in twelve step recovery. Also, I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA community, and neurodivergent as well! Before making my decision to become a remote-based therapist, I accumulated significant on-site work experience. Some of that includes working with domestic violence survivors, addiction (men's and women's, both out patient and residential), plus children's residential, and crisis stabilization. I look forward to working with you!

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.

Hi, I’m Paola! I’m a bilingual (spanglish) therapist who supports adult women navigating anxiety, overthinking, sadness, relationship challenges, and the changes life brings. I especially enjoy working with first-generation women, young professionals, and moms who are used to being there for everyone else but find it hard to make space for themselves. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. You don’t have to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say before coming to therapy. We’ll start where you are and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. As a Mexican-American and first-generation woman, I understand how family expectations, culture, and the roles we carry can influence how we feel about ourselves. I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach and draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. In our work together, that might look like making sense of your thoughts, learning ways to handle overwhelming emotions, practicing boundaries, or figuring out what matters most to you. My hope is to help you feel more connected to yourself and more confident in how you navigate everyday life. Wherever you are in your journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you make space for yourself and discover what feeling better looks like for you.

As a licensed therapist serving clients in Texas, I'm passionate about helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and difficult or unhealthy relationships. I have a special passion for empowering women who feel emotionally drained, stuck, unheard or disconnected from themselves to recognize unhealthy patterns, strengthen boundaries, rebuild confidence, and rediscover their sense of self. Relationships can have a powerful impact on our mental health. Whether you are struggling with a romantic relationship, family dynamics, separation or divorce, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries or the aftermath of a toxic relationship, therapy can provide a safe space to sort through what you're experiencing without judgement. You don't have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. My approach is compassionate, supportive, and down-to-earth. I draw from trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches while recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we can work toward understanding the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, developing healthier coping skills and relationships, and helping you feel more confident in the decisions you make for yourself. I believe healing is not just about reducing symptoms- it is also about learning to trust yourself again, finding your voice and creating a life and relationships that feel healthier, safe and more fulfilling.

Find a therapist near you in Malakoff, Texas

Finding a therapist near you in Malakoff, Texas starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Texas, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Texas

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Texas, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
