Gregory Rico

Gregory Rico is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, addictions, grief, and career or life changes. Gregory also helps people with eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem struggles, and parenting or caregiver stress.

He uses clear, straightforward conversation to help clients sort out what feels stuck. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. He draws on client-centered listening to learn what matters most to each person and on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking patterns.

Gregory also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and build momentum. He aims to work collaboratively, checking in about which approaches feel useful and adjusting the plan as needs shift. This includes addressing attachment, communication, control, and intimacy concerns when they come up.

His background includes supporting those coping with trauma, grief, gender and identity questions, HIV/AIDS issues, and end-of-life concerns. He has experience with intellectual disability and with people dealing with isolation or caregiver burden. Gregory is comfortable talking about shame, guilt, and forgiveness in the context of recovery and relationship repair.

People who are unsure what comes next often start by naming one small problem to focus on. Gregory helps turn that into an initial plan with clear steps and a way to measure progress. To begin, users select the online therapy options button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How Gregory applies therapy online and by approach

Client-centered therapy starts with careful listening to understand what matters to the person. The therapist reflects concerns and priorities back, helping clients name what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. It is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and changing patterns that hold someone back. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes short-term, concrete goals and builds on small wins to create momentum for life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gregory will discuss these methods with each person, try them in session, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That decision is collaborative and based on a person's goals, needs, and preferences rather than a preset program.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule brief check-ins, and allowing people to join from different locations. It also makes it possible to blend goal-focused exercises with practical homework between meetings so progress can continue outside session times.
