Gregory Rico

Gregory Rico is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBT-related issues. He also supports those coping with grief, addictions, sleep or eating struggles, and career or self-esteem worries.

Gregory centers sessions on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs instead of using one fixed approach. That means sessions focus on the problems you bring and practical steps you can try between meetings.

His work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective, cognitive behavioral tools to reframe thoughts and habits, and solution-focused strategies that aim for clear, achievable changes. Gregory uses these approaches to address things like attachment questions, communication problems, and caregiver stress.

He has helped people navigate complicated life events such as divorce, fatherhood challenges, and end-of-life and hospice concerns. He also supports people dealing with gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS related concerns, intellectual disability issues, and feelings of isolation.

Therapy begins with a short conversation to learn what matters to you and to set simple goals. Gregory encourages straightforward talk and practical steps so people leave sessions with something to try in everyday life.

How Gregory’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to shape goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete changes and practical steps you can try right away to move toward your goals.

Finding the right approach is something to figure out together. Gregory will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful for their needs and goals. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change when needed.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find virtual conversations help them talk through sensitive topics and test new skills between meetings while keeping therapy practical and focused on everyday change.
