Rita Aguirre, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Rita!

My approach to therapy is CBT-oriented, meaning that our thoughts affect our emotions and ultimately our behaviors. Together, we will discover what thought patterns are affecting your behavior in ways that are negatively impacting your life.

My focus

I usually work with clients who are suffering from low self-esteem, work-related stress, and anxiety.

My approach

My approach to therapy utilizes Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical (DBT), and EMDR.

My communication style

I like to create a warm and inviting environment for my clients to make them feel comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always known I wanted to be a therapist since I was a teenager. I've been told I'm a 'good listener,' and I have an insatiable curiosity to understand people and help them heal from behaviors that are no longer serving them.

My goals for you

I like to approach goal-setting from a patient-driven perspective. I help you identify what YOU want to work on and use the SMART method to help you achieve the results you are looking for.

Our first session

During the first session, I like to get to know the client by taking their personal history and what areas in life they are having trouble with.
