My name is Rina Villanueva, and earlier this year I became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I’ve spent most of my time so far laughing, playing, and problem-solving with kids and teens, but my heart and schedule are wide open to every age, 8 or 80, you’re welcome exactly as you are.
Picture this: you log on and finally let the weight out. I’m not here to rush in and “fix” you. I’m here to listen like a friend who truly hears you, ask gentle questions, and walk beside you until your own answers light up. No worksheets, no fancy therapy-talk—just two people in the same room, breathing the same air, finding your way home to yourself.
You don’t need perfect words or a perfect plan. Bring whatever you’re carrying—worry, anger, hope, or just “I don’t know”, and we’ll set it down together, piece by piece, until it feels lighter. I can’t wait to meet you and hear your story.
Take the first step to help. Call or Rina Villanueva Counseling now - (956) 446-2137

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
