Question:
Where can I find psychotherapy services in Austin?
Answer:
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), psychotherapy is thusly defined:
[A]ny psychological service provided by a trained professional that primarily uses forms of communication and interaction to assess, diagnose, and treat dysfunctional emotional reactions, ways of thinking, and behavior patterns. Psychotherapy may be provided to individuals, couples, families, or members of a group.
There are many types of psychotherapy, but generally they fall into four major categories: psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive therapy or behavior therapy, humanistic therapy, and integrative psychotherapy.
The psychotherapist is an individual who has been professionally trained and licensed (in the United States by a state board) to treat mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders by psychological means. They may be a clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor, social worker, or psychiatric nurse. Also called therapy; talk therapy.
The staff at Hollings Therapy, LLC retains licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Texas. Collectively, the services offered by this small business relate to the APA definition of psychotherapy.
Also, these services are facilitated by one medium. According to the APA, telehealth is defined as “the use of telecommunications and information technology to provide access to health assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and information across a distance, rather than face to face.”
Sometimes referred to as teletherapy, Hollings Therapy, LLC solely offers online psychotherapy throughout the state of Texas. This means that from Texhoma to Brownsville, and everywhere in between, qualified individuals may receive telehealth services from Hollings Therapy, LLC.
The benefit to this method of delivery is that people can (and have) receive(d) care for their mental, emotional, and behavioral health (collectively “mental health”) from virtually anywhere, as long as they have a strong Wi-Fi signal or telephone connection.
If you’re looking for a provider who tries to work to help understand how thinking impacts physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral elements of your life—helping you to sharpen your critical thinking skills, I invite you to reach out today by using the contact widget on my website.
As a psychotherapist, I’m pleased to try to help people with an assortment of issues ranging from anger (hostility, rage, and aggression) to relational issues, adjustment matters, trauma experience, justice involvement, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety and depression, and other mood or personality-related matters.
At Hollings Therapy, LLC, serving all of Texas, I aim to treat clients with dignity and respect while offering a multi-lensed approach to the practice of psychotherapy and life coaching. My mission includes: Prioritizing the cognitive and emotive needs of clients, an overall reduction in client suffering, and supporting sustainable growth for the clients I serve. Rather than simply trying to help you to feel better, I want to try to help you get better!
