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.

I am a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with over 11 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. Through my private practice and contract work I have worked with a diverse population of clients with a wide range of issues like emotional and physical trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse , and ADHD. I also help individuals in a life situation in which they are looking for deeper meaning and searching for their life's purpose as their current course feels empty and devoid of direction. Most often a significant event (death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job, trauma, etc.) has motivated them to find their life's passion. I experienced this at age 48 and left a highly lucrative but mundane restaurant management position to pursue a career in which I could genuinely help and serve others through counseling therapy. My counseling approach has continued to evolve through the years as my clients (my greatest teachers) have educated me to listen mindfully and tailor my therapeutic plan to their individual needs. I draw from a variety of modalities including cognitive behavioral. client-centered, solution-focused, reality therapy, and energy therapies including the Emotional Freedom Technique. The course of therapy and treatment plan will be customized to your specific and unique needs. I am a strong proponent of meditation and mindfulness and encourage these if the client shows interest. The fact that you are seeking help shows courage and openness and a desire to change in a meaningful and lasting way that can positively revolutionize and enrich your life. I can assure you that you are worthy of such an endeavor. I have never looked back or regretted any changes that I have undertaken since joining the counseling profession and I would be honored to be your therapist and help you transcend your issues! I look forward to assist you on your healing journey! Thank you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with nearly two decades of experience in counseling, behavioral health leadership, crisis services, and community mental health. I work with individuals who are navigating depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, workplace difficulties, social isolation, guilt, shame, and questions of purpose or direction. My counseling approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in helping people better understand themselves, their emotions, and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. I have experience supporting clients through panic symptoms, mood changes, impulsivity, communication struggles, and the challenges that come with personal growth and healing. I believe counseling should provide a safe, respectful space where clients can be honest about what they are facing while also developing healthier ways to cope, think, relate, and move forward. I grew up in Port Neches and graduated from PN-G High School before attending Lamar University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Biology. I later earned a Master of Education in Counseling and Development and a Master of Business Administration with a specialization in Leadership. Over the course of my career, I have served in a variety of clinical and leadership roles in outpatient mental health, crisis services, case management, psychiatric services, grant-funded behavioral health programs, and hospital-based behavioral health care. My perspective is also shaped by my Christian faith. For clients who desire it, I am comfortable incorporating a Christian-informed perspective into counseling in a thoughtful and respectful way. For all clients, my goal is to meet them where they are, honor their individual beliefs and experiences, and walk alongside them as they pursue healing, clarity, and meaningful personal change. Outside of counseling, I am married and have two children. I am active in my local church, where I serve as a Deacon and Associate Youth Minister. I also enjoy reading, hunting, and fixing things.

6 years offering treatment

Hello and welcome! My name is Asia, and I help adults who are struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns improve their quality of life and create deeper fulfillment beyond substances. My approach is individualized, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. There is no one-size-fits-all path to change, which is why I take the time to understand each person’s unique life experiences, stressors, values, relationships, goals, and motivations. I work with people pursuing moderation goals as well as those seeking abstinence, depending on their individual needs and circumstances. In addition to my professional background, I understand firsthand that change is deeply personal and rarely follows a linear path. In our first session, you can expect a supportive conversation focused on understanding the bigger picture — not just the substance use itself — and beginning to build a plan for meaningful, sustainable change. As Carl Jung once said, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." I see counseling as an invitation to re-consider your life's journey, to know yourself on a deeper level, and to align with "who you truly are." You are the healer. I simply offer another set of eyes and ears to help you find and follow your inner compass.

Find a therapist near you in Orient, Texas

Finding a therapist near you in Orient, 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.

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