Hello! My name is Maricruz; I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling in December 2010 from Angelo State University. Over the years, I have the privilege of working with school-age children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I have provided individual and group therapy. I have a passion for working with individuals who want to improve their lifestyles and find meaning in their lives. I strive to instill hope, perseverance, and biblical truth to help clients reach their goals.
My therapeutic experience combines Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Biblical Counseling. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I see my clients as unique individuals and tailor my techniques and approach to meet their specific needs.
Congratulations, you have made the most important step towards improving your life. I look forward to working with you and helping you in your new journey to a better version of yourself!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
