About Gregory
Gregory Rico is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. He works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting strains. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon.
Gregory uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and gently challenges unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) shows up as a way to try new responses to old triggers.
Client-Centered Therapy guides how he responds in session, giving clients space to describe what matters most to them. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to map small, achievable changes that can ease day-to-day life. These approaches are blended to suit the person sitting in the session.
He has worked across concerns including ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and issues tied to identity such as gender dysphoria and HIV/AIDS. Gregory also helps people with communication problems, control issues, and fatherhood or caregiver stress.
If someone is unsure where to begin, he starts with clear goals and short steps to try between sessions. The work is practical and paced to the individual's needs. To begin, visitors follow the site's sign-up flow to schedule a first meeting.
How sessions work
How his approaches work for online sessions
Gregory uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely to what a person is struggling with and to reflect that back in plain terms. This approach helps people clarify their priorities and feel heard before moving to practical work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or depression and to practice alternative reactions. CBT is often helpful for stress, sleep and mood problems where small behavior changes can make a difference.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete steps and short-term goals. It is useful when someone wants quick, manageable changes to improve daily routines or parenting challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Gregory works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
