More about Lester
- 22 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor located in Texas with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and working as a counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues and parenting issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My approach to therapy includes being respectful, sensitive to individual needs, and showing compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels that ultimately do not define who an individual is. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and trauma focused CPT. I have training in and utilize Christian/Biblical Counseling when requested. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
If you are not sure if counseling would be helpful or not, please consider meeting with me first to discuss what supports or needs you may have and then decide whether to pursue counseling further.
I look forward to working with you!

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.
