Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Houston, TX
I enjoy working with couples who care about each other but feel stuck in repeated conflict, disconnection, resentment, or communication breakdowns. Many times, couples come to counseling feeling frustrated, emotionally distant, or unsure how to get back on the same team. I help them identify unhealthy patterns, improve communication, rebuild trust, and create more stability and connection in the relationship.
Also, I work with athletes and high performers who are dealing with pressure, self-criticism, stress, or confidence issues and want practical tools to respond in healthier, more effective ways.

When we are young, we have a vision of what we want our lives to become. We want the best for our children, to have strong positive relationships, be happy, and achieve success. We see ourselves in a job that is fun and fulfilling something we want to do, and a group of friends with which to embark on adventures. Through the ebbs and flows of life, that vision we had when we were young transforms. We encounter obstacles, personal traumas, and life-altering events that significantly impact our well-being. We get caught up in pleasing others, providing for others, and longing for something more.

The complex circumstances that life serves us can drive a wedge between our realities and our true visions for our lives. Our schedules and responsibilities often take precedence over our emotional and mental health needs. However, I am an advocate for prioritizing mental health as we do physical health. Together, we can make sense of what has been and embrace what is and what will be.

You are the one others count on the steady one, the helper, the one who keeps going even when you feel worn down yourself. Over time, carrying so much can show up as irritability, shutting down, overthinking, guilt for needing space, or difficulty saying what you need without things becoming tense. I like to help individuals and couples work through stress, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, and relationship strain so they can feel more supported, communicate more openly, and begin to feel grounded again.

Most of my clients aren't broken — they're just living lives that don't fit a standard template. Maybe you've felt that way too: like the relationships, identities, or beliefs that make up who you are have never quite been met with the understanding they deserve. Or maybe something has quietly shifted — a pattern you keep noticing, a direction that's stopped making sense, an anxiety that's gotten harder to ignore. Either way, you deserve a therapist who can meet you where you actually are — not where it's convenient or comfortable for them to look.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.
Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
