Hello, my name is Oscar Guevara and I obtained a bachelor's in Social Work at Prairie View A & M University and a Masters in Social Work at the University of Houston. I am native Houstonian, and bilingual. My experience range from mental health to administration in social work. I was the manager of behavioral health services at Spring Branch Community Health were I helped patients from all age ranges and all demographic backgrounds. I partnered with community in schools to help patients with bullying, depression/anxiety and a host of other psychosocial issues. While my tenure there, I also conducted marriage counseling and host of educational seminars to help the community. I have also worked with acute psych patients where I conducted group, family, and individual counseling. Currently, I am a director of clinical operations where I am working with acute patients with mental illness and other complex co-morbidities.

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.
