Online Solution-Focused Brief Therapy therapists in Texas

I offer online therapy as a convenient and comfortable alternative for individuals with diverse needs, seeking effective treatment from the comfort of their own space.  

I provide online therapy for anxiety, stress, and trauma.  

I am available to work with individuals including adults, young adults, older teens, women in transition such as those experiencing career change, menopause and/or empty nest.  

Everyone has moments in their lives when they need someone who can hold space for them. Someone who will listen without judgement. I see you and I understand you want someone to be that person.  

Online therapy and coaching via a secure video platform  

I use online video therapy to help couples change how they think, feel, and behave by integrating mindfulness, compassion and neurobiology. I am passionate about creating new models for the delivery of psychotherapy and behavioral wellness coaching utilizing web-based technologies which allow us to increase access, reduce cost, and enhance effectiveness. I work with clients via secure video, email, and text as well as HIPPA compliant complimentary resources. Research studies consistently indicate that online video therapy is equivalent to face-to-face care in various settings. Because online video therapy is a relatively new, innovative and evolving form of practice, it requires additional, specific training to assure effective clinical outcomes. I am a Board Certified – TeleMental Health Provider (BC – TMH 1808) and I have extensive experience working with clients via online video both as a psychotherapist and as a professional coach. I continue to invest in additional training to remain at the cutting edge of innovation.  

I've been serving clients for 8 years by video & phone sessions. In addition to health-related concerns, remote teletherapy can be just the right step for some other life situations. If you've never seen a counselor by video or phone before, your related concerns are understandable. In counseling, the term we use is "fit" -- describes when a particular counselor & setting feel 'just right' for you.

You only need a private, comfortable space, good Internet access, and an electronic device with a camera. Hands-free is preferred, so we recommend a computer.

Counseling sessions in-person are generally considered the most helpful. For clients who are unable to drive, are ill or disabled, or don't have childcare, video or phone sessions with a counselor can be just what's needed. Depending on clients' counseling needs, therapists may require one or all of your sessions be conducted in-office.  

Online sessions (Telehealth) due to COVID-19. Many people experience anxiety, depression, grief, and/or chronic pain. Stress negatively impacts our health, families, relationships, and jobs.

Using an Integrative Therapy Approach designed to my client's individual issues and intentions is offered through a safe, nurturing environment. Through therapy clients, release the pain while increasing personal clarity, emotional stabilization, and positive feelings. Everyone deserves to feel happy and content.

Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you are feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.  

Welcome to Resilience in Becoming Wellness Center. I have built my practice on the idea that we all are in the state of becoming. My goal is to help you on your journey to be clear who you want to be and how you want to show up in your relationships. My role in the therapeutic process is to guide and support you and honor your values and beliefs. I believe that value-based action is the key to the change you want to see in your life.  

Non-biased psychotherapy is provided to clients ages four and up and from various backgrounds. We assume a holistic and humanist approach that is also influenced by Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory. A range of influences are considered such as (1) the client’s own motivation and biological environment; (2) the client’s immediate surroundings including his/her family; and (3) the client’s interactions within larger environmental systems consisting of society and culture. Reeducation is a life-long process and should respond to one’s season of life.  

For many reason, telehealth may be a good option. Our counselors at Houston Center for Christian counseling offer telehealth as well as in person sessions.  

Online therapy makes it convenient for both the client and therapist. It can be done at any time in any setting, giving the ability for enhanced care.
