Counseling services are often recommended for treatment of mental health challenges, but they can be useful for so much more.  A therapist can offer tools to support healing past hurts, help manage stress, deal with behavioral challenges, be a life coach, and share strategies to live a more fulfilling life. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Missouri City, TX may offer more mental health services than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be challenging, even in a city. One reason for this is that there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches available, which can be more or less effective depending on the challenge being addressed. For example, if you are looking for a trained mediator to resolve conflicts with family members you may need family counseling. However, in Missouri City family counseling may not necessarily be available in an area convenient to you. This is where online therapy can help. 

BetterHelp offers access to a wide variety of Missouri-City based mental health professionals from psychologists to social workers, to licensed professional counselor supervisors. These providers have expertise in many different specialties, and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. 

Online therapy is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions can fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. 

Therapy can support almost anyone in living more fulfilled lives. If you have been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp to find out more.

I am a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with over 14 years experience working with adults and teens. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, adjustment to life transitions, relationship issues, depression, motivation, self esteem and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I provide support, guidance and accountability with kindness and humor. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or significant life changes, making the decision to ask for help takes courage and is the hardest and most important step. Asking for support can be the most difficult part of the journey, so well done for making the decision to put your mental health first! My belief is that the counseling process is a collaborative partnership between therapist and client(s). Working together, we will explore current concerns and develop realistic goals. My theory of counseling is Adlerian, which is based on the notion that people are responsible for their behavior, thoughts, and feelings. As an Adlerian counselor, it is my belief that each of us is searching for significance and belonging. Based upon early experiences in life, we develop ways to strive for this significance. Over the course of time, however, we may find that some of these constructed methods are no longer helpful. As a result, we find ourselves discouraged and disconnected from ourselves and others in various aspects of life. In counseling, we will explore areas including your early experiences, belief system, personality style, and coping mechanisms to identify and understand what exactly is no longer working for you. We may focus upon thoughts, feelings and/or behaviors, and a variety of techniques may be introduced. Based upon your insights, we will work together to identify an action-oriented approach for you to achieve your goals. If you have any questions regarding therapy, please feel free to ask.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) here in Texas, with 6 years of experience working with people from all walks of life. After navigating some of my own personal life experiences—and knowing firsthand what it feels like to not always feel supported—I made it my mission to become the kind of person I wished I had during those times. Someone safe, steady, and genuinely present. Interestingly, even before I became a therapist, people naturally gravitated toward me to share their life stories. I’ve always cherished that. In fact, my name, Monica, actually means “advisor/counselor”—a reminder that this work has always felt like part of my identity. As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can be fully yourself. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I’m here to be your co-pilot—walking alongside you as you explore, grow, and move toward healing. My style is interactive, compassionate, and grounded in mutual trust and collaboration. Also, I value humor, creativity, honesty, and authenticity in the therapy room. If you’re looking for a space where you can feel truly seen and supported, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
