Therapy can be beneficial for more than those experiencing a mental health crisis. While it can be essential for those with mental health concerns to get help, therapy can also be helpful for goal setting, learning to build healthier relationships, and guiding the path to self-discovery. When it comes to finding a therapist, San Angelo, TX can offer greater variety than surrounding rural areas, but it isn’t always easy to find the right therapist even in a metro area.
One reason for this is that in the field of mental health counseling there are a number of evidence-based approaches that can be more or less effective depending on the challenges being addressed. A registered play therapist can be just the provider to help a child with behavior struggles, but veterans programs may be a better option for a former soldier experiencing PTSD. Therapy is an individual process, and the non-profit clinic down the street may not have what you need. That’s where online therapy can help.
Online therapy through BetterHelp offers over 30,000 mental health professionals that specialize in a variety of therapy approaches and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will identify and match you with a therapist that meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be an important factor in success, if you want to switch therapists you can do so at no extra cost.
Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
If you live in the Concho Valley area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, whether for processing traumatic life experiences, resolving family conflict, or working on self-awareness, there is no better time to reach out. BetterHelp can connect you to the highest quality professionals to offer the tools you need to get started on your mental health journey.

Kristina Taylor
Hello! Welcome to the BetterHelp community! My name is Kristina Taylor and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. I provide therapy via TaylorWellnessGroup.com and also part-time here at BetterHelp. I graduated from Ashford University in 2010 with a degree in Psychology then from Texas A&M Commerce in 2012 with my Master's in Social Work. During my time working on my degree I completed my internship in a private practice setting. I am a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH) and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I have since worked with people dealing with a wide range of issues from mood disorders, personality disorders, grief, faith issues, life transitions, depression, LGBT issues, attachment issues, self-harm, PTSD, stress and anxiety. My PRIMARY FOCUS is in areas of relationship problems, recovery from trauma and abuse, self-worth, attachment, codependency, Narcissist personality disorder, and intimacy issues. The idea of beginning therapy can leave you feeling uncertain of where to begin. My training taught me to meet you where you are in your life. My goal is to help you improve your relationships, how you feel and how you function. I work with a wide range of therapeutic modalities to help clients depending on their individual needs and goals. Some of the modalities I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Sex Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. The relationship between the Client and Therapist is a key component for success in therapy. I will provide a safe and caring environment where you can talk freely about your concerns while receiving empathy, compassion, and understanding from me. You have already taken the first step. I would be happy to help you along your journey. I provide live session appointments with BetterHelp as well as provide services through my private practice. I typically provide sessions here on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10am-6pm EST, and Tuesdays and Fridays 10am-4:00 pm EST on this platform. These hours are subject to change based on my availability. If you are needing evening or weekend appointments I will NOT be the best option for you.

Utilizing a client-centered approach rooted in humanistic principles, I actively collaborate with my clients to deeply understand their unique needs and aspirations. From this understanding, I develop personalized interventions that foster growth and progress.

By doing so, I cultivate a sense of empowerment and resilience within them, enabling them to overcome obstacles and achieve their objectives. With extensive experience as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California and Texas, I have had the privilege of working with diverse individuals, including children, older adults, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. My background in school counseling and non-profit agencies has given me a deep understanding of the psychological challenges that can arise within these populations. My therapeutic approach focuses on building positive communication and nurturing meaningful client relationships. I prioritize establishing healthy coping strategies and facilitating lasting interpersonal changes within a culturally sensitive framework. Through compassionate and respectful guidance, I work collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve their personalized goals. Please note that I operate in the central standard time zone (GMT+6), and my working hours generally span from 10 AM to 5 PM.
