Welcome!
I'm Kenya Rouska, a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with six years of experience providing psychotherapy in a private practice setting. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, and couples who have faced a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, psychosis, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem , body image concerns, personality and eating disorders, addiction, and the emotional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I also have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by those affiliated with the military, whether active duty, dependents, or veterans. As a former military spouse, I’ve experienced the complexities of military life firsthand, which informs my compassionate approach to supporting clients from this community.
I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. That’s why I collaborate closely with each of my clients to identify the most effective therapeutic approach tailored to their specific needs. Congratulations on taking this important first step toward your well-being, and I look forward to working together to build a rewarding and supportive therapeutic relationship.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Thank you for everything you’re amazing. I thought I would be embarrassed talking about my life and problems, but you were understanding and gave sound advice. I appreciate you.
Ms. Rouska is very empathetic and understanding and that was comforting. Her warmness allowed me to really open up during our session
I've worked with Kenya for over a year now and it's been a healing journey. She makes herself completely available during our sessions which creates a safe space to explore what comes up entirely. I've unearthed some limiting beliefs that were sewn before I understood what was happening. I've learned more and grown faster because Kenya is sharp, empathetic, and profoundly wise. No one take my time slot but your mental will thank you for working with Kenya.
I love Kenya. Such a kind and thoughtful person. I've had many breakthroughs during our sessions. She creates such a reliably safe space for me which I needed during the super transformative year I've had. We've tackled some big traumas after years of me losing faith in talk therapy with just airing it all out. If you are uncertain about the benefits of therapy because of a fear of the therapist's personal agenda, fear not here. She really listens and really adds valuable insight that she is willing to unpack with you. She doesn't leave you hanging and I hope others get to experience her as well
Kenya is amazing, she hears me when I speak. She listens intently and gives thoughtful responses. She recognizes my wins and helps me focus on solutions for issues.
She's a great listener, sends great resources, offers help that matters and she just a nice person.
She is the BEST THERAPIST I’ve ever had. I was struggling with a lot of family issues and marital problems and she definitely helped me find my way to a place of peace and strength as well as hope. She has been such a blessing to me and I recommend her to anyone needing support. She’s truly amazing!!
Kenya has been amazing ! In just a few short weeks she has helped me to arrive at some amazing breakthroughs . So grateful for her support and expertise
She is amazing! I have made extraordinary progress and could not be more grateful!
I love Kenya. She really takes the time to listen to my concerns and realistically guides me through them. I trust her a lot and I'm glad she is my therapist. I feel so much better mentally since starting counseling with her!
I've really enjoyed working with Kenya! She is very sweet! I've learned so much in the past few months about my stress/anxiety that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. She is really good about consistently checking in on each and every concern I have. I would highly recommend her to others!
Kenya is absolutely the best therapist I have been matched with. She helped me in a time of critical need. I can’t wait to go on this mental health and self care journey with her l. She is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and I needed someone with all of those qualities.
I love love LOVE Ms. Kenya definitely has been a GEM to me and my situation. She is so passionate and realistic with her concepts and teachings and always factor in genuine connections through communication in between sessions. 10/10 highly recommended ❤️
Kenya Rouska you great person to talk to, you listen even when I'm all over the place with my thoughts and feelings. You give great advice on how to deal with a situation that I'm dealing with. Thank you so much...
Kenya is so kind. I felt her warmth the moment we started our session. No problem seemed "too small" which is something I often struggle with. She is so kind and supportive and I truly feel her empathy and support.
Kenya does the job and more. Not only is she consistently available for communication, she is always on top of her duties. She remembers my problems and concerns and she talks to me about them as a professional but also as a concerned friend. I feel valued and I feel supported when I talk with her. I have been with her for a short time and I have already made it through scary roadblocks with much more ease than I would have had if I was alone.
I had a wonderful experience talking with Kenya Rouska. She is an incredible counselor who offers valuable insight.
I enjoy talking with Kenya! You can tell she's passionate about what she does! :)
