Anique Gonzalez, LPC

Anique Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas who brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach to mental health care. She earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from Texas A&M University, a CACREP accredited program, and builds on that training with experience across outpatient, inpatient, and private settings. Her clinical background includes work with major mood and psychotic disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia, and she also supports people facing emotional distress, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship challenges.

Anique integrates client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused perspectives, tailoring treatment to each person’s needs and pace. She emphasizes identifying individual goals, exploring thought patterns that influence feelings and behavior, and developing practical steps toward healthier outcomes. Counseling is viewed as a collaborative, time-based process in which small changes can lead to meaningful progress. Anique approaches therapy with respect for resilience and recovery, encouraging clients to move forward at a pace that feels manageable while offering steady professional support.

Therapeutic Approaches Used in Online Care

Anique often uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative environment where clients set goals and move at a comfortable pace - this approach helps people explore personal values, relationship concerns, and emotional difficulties without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is employed to identify and gently shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, a practical option for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Motivational Interviewing can also be part of sessions when clients are weighing change; this method focuses on increasing motivation and resolving ambivalence to support progress toward concrete goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Anique works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions and pace therapeutic work in a way that feels meaningful to the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to continue care when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide focused, supportive work that aligns with a client’s communication style and schedule.
