Find a licensed online therapist in Morton Valley, TX

Hi Friend, This is a little about me. First and foremost I am a regular and down-to-earth guy. At times Counseling professionals and other helping professionals can can get reputations to "high and mighty", "up on a pedestal", or 'holier than thou". I am a regular 40 year old man who is balding and slightly overweight. I have made mistakes in my life as I'm sure you have. I do not have a magic wand to make your life better in a hurry. What I do have is an open ear, a caring heart, a good education, and about 15 years in counseling a wide variety of people and issues. Of these the most common issues I have helped others with are overcoming symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction, and common family issues. As I mentioned earlier there is no magic to what I do but we can work toward goals and talk it out.

Hello! My name is Sydney, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Supervisor (LMFT-S) in Texas. I currently serve as the Assistant Director at a children’s behavioral health clinic, and I also provide bereavement and grief support through a non-profit hospice organization. I am continually humbled by the trust and vulnerability clients share as they navigate their most important concerns. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and collaborative, grounded in the belief that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, tools, and support as you work through challenges and move toward your goals. As a systemic therapist, I consider the relational, emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual contexts that shape your experiences. This broad perspective allows us to explore not just symptoms, but the patterns and dynamics that influence your overall well-being. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your journey.

I am Gloria Gitlin. I am a professional counselor and a teacher. I have worked in private practice, a psychiatric hospital, and several agencies. My approach to counseling is multi-faceted, similar to my education. I have a Masters in Psychology and am certified as a professional counselor. Prior to going into the field of psychology, I obtained a Ph.D. in Linguistics. My interests lie in the area of language and its effect on cognitions and ultimately on behavior. I am a firm believer that what we think determines what we do. I like to do research on cognition and subsequent feelings and behavior. Many researchers have found that what we think and believe determines how we perceive the world, and how we perceive determines what we see and what we do. A change in perception can change the make-up of the world and one’s surroundings. Feelings are important, but can be misleading, even to ourselves. That would account for the many misunderstandings and disagreements, and hurt feelings. If we want to gain some control over life and its circumstances, we need to gain some insight into our thoughts and beliefs. That is what counseling is about. We will explore feelings, beliefs, and thoughts to try to determine what it is that is causing the disruption in your life. There is not a situation that cannot be improved upon by finding out who we are and the determining circumstances that led us to this point. Uncovering the problem is the first step to finding a solution. I would be happy to help you in the process of gaining some insight and some control over your life, so that you might enjoy a more harmonious existence and a more fulfilling life.

Welcome! Let me first applaud you for reaching out for support, it takes a lot of strength and bravery to do so. Therapy is a wonderful tool to help make positive changes in your life. As a counselor, I feel like the therapeutic relationship is a key aspect of successful therapy. I also believe you are the expert on your life and goals and my role is to provide a safe and empathetic space for you to work towards being your best self. To do so I utilize various counseling theories including person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. As a counselor, I will provide you with useful activities that help develop practical solutions and positive coping skills that can be utilized in various areas of your life. My educational background includes a Bachelor's of Science, specializing in psychology, a Master's of Education, specializing in counseling, both of which were obtained from Tarleton State University, and a licensed professional counselor through the state of Texas (Central Standard/Daylight Time). I have 20 years of experience working with families, domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse survivors as well as crisis intervention. I enjoy working with a diverse population, youth and adults alike. I hope to work with you and help you achieve your therapeutic goals!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas. I have been practicing since 1995, most of this time in Community Mental Health Programs. I have worked with many issues of concern to my clients, ranging from serious mental illness to life choices. I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, elderly individuals, couples and groups. In 2005, I opened my private practice and kept it open full time until 2020. During the pandemic, my clientele reduced due to my choosing to begin telehealth sessions instead of face-to-face sessions. I am residing in a smaller city and most of the population is not comfortable with tele-health so I decided to continue at a reduced capacity as long as possible. In early 2021, I accepted the vaccine in an effort to revive my practice but became ill due to complications. I stopped practicing for approximately 3 months, until I could be sure that I was feeling well enough to provide my clients with the services they deserved. In December 2021, I tested positive with the virus and became very ill. I am now practicing through Better Help rather than begin my solo private practice again. I am competent in the use of Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Client-Centered, and Transpersonal therapies. I specifically focus on hypnotherapy, meditation, and inner child support in the Transpersonal therapies. Each of these therapies are used based on the treatment plan which is derived from the problems or concerns that the client defines as their choice for treatment and the goal they wish to reach. In working with couples, the goal is to enhance healing independently and interdependently. I believe that we are attracted to someone who fits like a lock and key with ourselves. This engages our personal issues so that our significant other becomes the rock upon which we break ourselves and then heal through positive communication techniques, compromise and negotiation. I believe that each person is unique and the path for growth of each person can only be determined by themselves, or jointly, for couples. My role in the support of my clients is to lend them my knowledge, feedback and guidance as they grow through the process of the journey. Each client has the right to self-determination and respect and can refuse any treatment suggestion without fear of consequences. I am honored to assist you in your choice of becoming the best version of yourself, and, if appropriate, as a union of two creating a separate identity while maintaining each individually.

My initial training as a therapist was in premarital and marriage counseling, a vital part of my practice that to this day I enjoy very much. I have approximately 20 years of experience and am licensed in the state of Texas. In addition to counseling couples, I have also worked with persons coming out of the sex industry. It is my passion to work with those who struggle with severe trauma and emotional abuse, as well as major depressive disorders, bipolar I & II, schizoaffective, co-occurring and substance abuse disorders. I have a great deal of experience working with dissociative, borderline and personality disorders. I am well-versed and extremely comfortable working with persons of different cultures. My motto is, “reveal the root, expose the lie and heal the wounded spirit.” I utilize a trauma-informed, person-centered, psychodynamic approach in therapy and often incorporate CBT, DBT and mindfulness techniques. I strive to meet the unique and individual needs of each client and adjust my approach accordingly. I am a certified revisioning practitioner, a technique that simulates re-attachment for grief resolution and ego-integration and am certified by the FBI National Academy in resiliency training. I also enjoy training local police departments throughout the Metroplex in critical incident and mental health orientation trainings. I truly consider it an honor and a privilege to partner with you in your journey towards wholeness. My goal is to help you become all that you were created to be!
