Hello and welcome.
It takes courage to take steps towards a better life, and I would like the honor of helping you to do that. My name is Ruth Kizer and I will see anyone who is hurting.
I am an LPC ( licensed professional counselor) in north Texas with over 25 years of experience working at: a local state hospital, outpatient mental health clinic, and volunteer counseling center. I have worked with clients with a wide range of problems, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, as well as childhood, parenting, school, or job concerns; and with people who have experienced trauma, abuse, and grief. I taught school for two years and have mentored students.
My therapy style is relaxed and interactive. I believe in treating you with respect and being sensitive and compassionate. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive, and other helpful interventions. I will tailor your therapy to meet your specific needs. If you are ready to take the next step, I am here to support you.
I look forward to working with you toward the person you want to become! Ruth

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
