About Gregory

Gregory Rico is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and LGBT-related concerns. He brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate presence to sessions and emphasizes creating an individualized plan that reflects each person's priorities and circumstances.

Background and approach

Gregory explains therapeutic options clearly and adapts his conversational style to fit what a client finds most helpful. Clients can expect work focused on practical skills and personal exploration across a wide range of concerns including intimacy and sexual issues, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, self-esteem, career transitions, and sleep or eating difficulties.

He also addresses issues such as attachment problems, communication struggles, caregiver stress, gender dysphoria, and coping with life changes. Gregory encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports clients through gradual progress toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gregory uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's experience guides the work; this approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their values and priorities. He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, mood, and sleep or eating concerns.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Gregory works collaboratively with clients to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as progress unfolds so the plan aligns with what’s actually helpful for each person.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity between sessions, try brief check-ins when needed, and access care from wherever the client is located.
