Gregory Rico, LPC

Gregory Rico is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. He works with people facing stress and anxiety and helps those navigating relationship and intimacy concerns. He approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion to make starting therapy easier for a worried parent or busy person.

He focuses on tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and aim to build skills you can use between meetings. Gregory draws on approaches that encourage clear goals and helpful strategies rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Clients can expect a straightforward process that begins with listening to what matters to them. He uses tools from client-centered work to create a space where people can speak freely. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses to stress and anxiety.

Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and track small wins. He also addresses related concerns such as ADHD, grief, sleep and eating problems, caregiving stress, and body image. Gregory aims to help people find realistic steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

He supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, and changes like divorce or career shifts. People concerned about gender identity, HIV/AIDS, or intellectual disability are also within his focus areas. If you want to begin, the process starts with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting.

How his approaches guide online therapy

Gregory uses client-centered work, which focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the therapist to follow the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Solution-focused therapy aims for clear, short-term goals and tracks small practical steps toward those goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Gregory will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as priorities shift or new challenges appear.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and make scheduling simpler so people can keep regular meetings during work weeks or caregiving periods. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered at the time. The focus is on finding workable strategies and steady progress that fit day-to-day routines.
