Rocio Portales, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Rocio!

I work with many different concerns in therapy, using Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. I work at your pace and according to your needs, session by session.

My focus

I typically work with young adults, college-aged clients, and older adults. I usually work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and moderate eating disorders, but feel comfortable working with other conditions.

My approach

I use Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches, working at your pace and according to the needs you express. My goal is to meet you where you are and adapt to what feels most helpful for you.

My communication style

I'm soft-spoken yet straightforward with my clients, and I accommodate according to your needs. I like to check in regularly to ensure you feel comfortable with the way therapy is being conducted.

My journey to mental healthcare

Mental health is a huge passion of mine. During my early teen years, I had a friend who suffered from mental health concerns, and they taught me about their healing journey. As a therapist, my goal is to help you through your journey so you don't have to walk through it alone.

My goals for you

We'll set goals together during the initial session as part of getting to know you. We'll check in after a few sessions to make sure these goals are still something you want to work on.

Our first session

You can expect a conversation where we get to know each other. I'll go over confidentiality and general practice information, but I'll also ask about you as a person—what you do for fun, who your people are—and what brings you into therapy. I try to make it flow as comfortably as possible.
