About Gregory
Gregory Rico is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBT-related issues. He aims to meet clients where they are and make starting therapy feel manageable.
Gregory works in a straightforward, respectful way. He listens first and adapts conversations to each person's needs. He focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions to handle daily stress and sleep problems more effectively.
His approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. That means he centers the client's goals, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions often include skills practice and short-term strategies aimed at real-life improvement.
Over his career Gregory has supported people facing grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, eating and body image concerns, and challenges around caregiving and career stress. He also works with issues like gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and end-of-life concerns when they arise in conversation.
Sessions are conducted in English and Gregory accepts international clients. He encourages people to take the first step by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session when ready.
How these approaches can work online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship and focuses on the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach let clients set the agenda while the therapist reflects and supports their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can translate into practice tasks between online meetings. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, immediate changes and goal steps, making it useful for short-term online work and measurable progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then recommend which methods to emphasize. That plan can shift as progress is made, so clients remain involved in choosing what feels most helpful.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make fitting sessions into busy lives easier. It can reduce travel time, allow short check-ins during a break, or avoid the need to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help clients maintain momentum while working on sleep, stress, and relationship challenges.
