Hello! My name is Maricruz; I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling in December 2010 from Angelo State University. Over the years, I have the privilege of working with school-age children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I have provided individual and group therapy. I have a passion for working with individuals who want to improve their lifestyles and find meaning in their lives. I strive to instill hope, perseverance, and biblical truth to help clients reach their goals.
My therapeutic experience combines Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Biblical Counseling. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I see my clients as unique individuals and tailor my techniques and approach to meet their specific needs.
Congratulations, you have made the most important step towards improving your life. I look forward to working with you and helping you in your new journey to a better version of yourself!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
