I’ve had an amazing experience with April. She listens to my issues and works with me to get to the root of my problems. She has been highly understanding and respectful. I’m so grateful I was matched with her. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our sessions because we have already gotten so far. She’s knowledgeable and find new ways for me to explore my personal feelings and experiences. I have had therapists that were not nearly as great as her. I plan to hold on to her for awhile :)

Hello!

First off, I find it very bold and courageous of you to come to this site and take those steps towards self-empowerment.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 4 years of counseling experience and 8 years total in the mental health field. I graduated from Texas A&M University San Antonio with my Masters in Counseling. I have a wide range of experience in working with individuals with different concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, crisis intervention, stress, relationship issues, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, career counseling, case management, and some substance addiction. I believe that my background of employment such as working with dual diagnosed individuals in a state residential home, field case management for a mental health clinic, and providing life skills coaching for fellow employees has helped me sharpen my skills to be a better counselor.

My counseling style is to help client's gain insight with the challenges that they may be facing. I like to be very interactive with my clients in helping them learn new tools to implement in their daily life. I will help clients challenge their perspective as they move towards a healthier and positive lifestyle. My approach is to have each individual identify their own personal goal so that it is tailored to your own desired outcomes of our time working together. During each session, I will check in on the progress towards the goal to ensure that we are on the right track. Overall, I primarily use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Reality Therapy.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me, and I hope to be working with you in the future!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I've felt validated and empowered after each meeting with Ms. Gonzalez. She consistently provides feedback on what I've said were areas of concern. She emailed documents that I'm using to become more comfortable with the employment search process.
