About Gregory
Gregory Rico is an LPC in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and life changes. He works with clients dealing with relationship or intimacy concerns, addiction struggles, and LGBT-related issues. He encourages straightforward conversation and aims to make the first step feel manageable.
Gregory uses a person-centered stance to shape each session around the individual. He adjusts conversations and goals to match what matters most to the person in front of him. That can mean focusing on practical solutions, shifting unhelpful thinking, or simply making space to work through emotions.
With 15 years of experience, Gregory blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy depending on the situation. CBT is used to notice and change patterns that worsen mood and worry. Solution-Focused work helps set short-term goals and build on what already works.
He also addresses concerns such as ADHD, grief, parenting strain, body image, caregiver stress, and sleep or eating difficulties. Communication problems, attachment-related questions, and issues around gender identity are included in his focus areas. Gregory aims to be respectful and sensitive while tailoring plans to each person’s needs.
People who choose him can expect a collaborative, goal-oriented approach. He invites clients to be active in shaping sessions and to set realistic steps toward their priorities.
How Gregory Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Gregory combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around what the client wants to address; it helps people feel heard and clarify their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and anxiety, and it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. That approach narrows in on what’s already working and builds small steps toward change. Together these approaches let sessions stay flexible and goal-oriented while still honoring each person's experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Gregory works collaboratively to decide what fits best. He will talk with the client about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This teamwork helps shape weekly steps or longer-term plans in a way that matches personal needs.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue work between appointments. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm current options before scheduling. Once confirmed, online work can support regular check-ins, shorter-focused sessions when needed, and homework between meetings to practice skills in daily life.
