Danny Medina Rivera, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Danny!

I'm bilingual and have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, and grief counseling. I'm passionate about helping people improve their mental health and want you to know there is someone who cares about your well-being.

My focus

I focus on young adults and adults navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.

My approach

We will work together using cognitive and behavioral skills in a supportive and goal-oriented environment to achieve your growth.

My communication style

I communicate with warmth and empathy, creating a safe and supportive space. I listen actively, ask thoughtful questions, and gently guide you toward your goals at a pace that feels comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to help people improve their mental health and ensure clients know there is someone who cares about their well-being.

My goals for you

I collaborate with you to identify meaningful goals and break them into small, achievable steps. Using evidence-based approaches, I help you build practical coping skills, monitor progress, and stay motivated as you work toward lasting change.

Our first session

I want you to feel heard and listened to. We will go over intake information including mental health status and risk assessment to understand what brings you to therapy so I can support you the best I can.
