About Gregory
Gregory Rico is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues. He works directly with adults to address practical problems that affect everyday life. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps rather than abstract talk.
He uses straightforward methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his approach, along with client-centered and solution-focused work. That means sessions often include noticing patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what helps.
Gregory adapts conversations to the person in front of him. He pays attention to communication patterns, attachment concerns, and issues like body image, shame, grief, or caregiving stress. He also works with people facing substance use, sleep or eating problems, and career or life-transition challenges.
Practical skills and short-term, goal-oriented tasks are common in his work. He may suggest experiments between sessions, simple behavior changes, or focused problem-solving to address an immediate concern. Progress is measured in tangible ways, such as symptom changes or improved routines.
Clients can expect a direct, organized style that aims to break down problems into manageable parts. Gregory accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options that fit their situation.
How his approaches translate to online work
Gregory uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors step by step. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, sleep, mood, and habits by focusing on specific skills and small experiments. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes clear listening and reflecting, helping people feel heard while they set their own goals. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on immediate next steps and practical changes that move a person toward their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they pick concrete targets, try short exercises, and check whether those steps are helping. That process helps shape later sessions and the mix of techniques used.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit a short check-in into a break, or avoid travel time. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require a camera, which can be useful for focused skill practice or brief progress reviews.
