Hello! My name is Kelsie. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based out of Texas. I received my Undergraduate Degree in Psychology in 2015 and received my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology in 2017. I've been working in the mental health field for 7 years and have been providing counseling for 4 years. I help my client's with everyday stress, anxiety, depression, career/school burn out, life changes/transitions, etc.
In our first session together, my main goal will be to make you feel comfortable and heard. We will introduce ourselves, discuss your goals for counseling. I will ask questions about your current mental health symptoms and your history with mental health. I will also ask about your family history with mental health along with other information about your history. Together we will come up with your treatment plan.
I believe my greatest strength as a provider is my empathy. l I understand how difficult deciding to start therapy is and how emotional it can be to discuss your life and mental health with someone new.
Kelsie Ramirez offers therapy covered by Medicaid - Superior HealthPlan, Superior HealthPlan (Managed Medicaid) and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Texas.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. With CBT clients learn to identify and label thoughts and emotions. Clients learn how to challenge negative and/or anxious thoughts. Clients learn skills and techniques they can use when they encounter stressors or triggers to help them be more in control of their mental health.
