   About Anique

   Anique Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside person-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Her style aims to meet each person where they are and move forward at a comfortable pace.

   Gonzalez draws on six years of clinical experience across outpatient, inpatient, and private settings. She works with individuals coping with serious mental health disorders as well as those facing emotional distress and everyday challenges. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling from Texas A&M University, which she earned at a CACREP-accredited program.

   In sessions she begins by listening to what matters most to the person sitting across from her. That helps set realistic goals and decide how to work together. She uses client-centered techniques to clarify struggles and priorities, and then layers in cognitive behavioral tools to address thought patterns and behaviors.

   Motivational Interviewing is used to support readiness for change and to strengthen a person’s own reasons for taking steps forward. Solution-focused elements help highlight practical strategies and small steps that can be tried between sessions.

   Gonzalez believes change is possible and that therapy often unfolds through steady, achievable progress. She encourages people to take small steps and to work at a pace that feels manageable. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

2. How her approaches translate to online care

   Anique often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build momentum. That approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and reflecting what the person says so they can decide next steps for themselves.
   
   She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions begin with the person’s priorities and move at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when people want concrete tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT offers practical exercises that can be done between meetings.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and current situation. That can mean trying one technique for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
   
   If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt MI, client-centered skills, and CBT exercises to remote sessions to keep the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
