More about Rex
- 15 years' experience
- Male
- LICSW
I am a Licensed LISCW in Alabama with over 15 years of professional work experience, working with adolescence and college age students, as well as older adults and children. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, LGBTQ-related issues, relationship issues, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also teach clients how to develop a unique social skill method to help manage uncomfortable social situations with friends, family, and partners. I am also trained in ERP therapy for the treatment of OCD, Hoarding, and BFRBs. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared. When you step into my therapy area it is considered a non-judgement, be yourself, zone, where you can feel comfortable and safe when talking about things that may be difficult to open up about. My initial goal is to learn as much as possible about what issues or problems you are currently facing to help you accomplish the goals you initially came to therapy for in an easier way. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for taking the first step in getting started and consider it an honor to be part o your journey towards recovery.

About online counseling

- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rex listens and presents views in a way that worked very well with me. I would recommend him to anyone, he is very personable.
Of the therapists I’ve had, Rex stands above them with his level of knowledge and insight. He knows how to affectively bring light and calm to any given situation I express to him and offers a variety of helpful ways to reframe my thought process and bring clarity. I have only worked with him for about a month and can’t wait to see the progress I continue to make going forward with him.
Rex has been wonderful, he helped me through a very emotionally difficult breakup. He seems to be very knowledgeable about dating processes and how to cope with a failed relationship, I really appreciate his insight.
