We all get stuck in our own thoughts from time to time. Modern life can be incredibly stressful between work, school, parenting, finances, and maintaining relationships. Life can feel like it’s moving at a breakneck pace and it can be difficult for us to take time to care for ourselves.
You might feel pressure to always be strong and not reach out for help. You might feel stressed, sad, uncertain, or otherwise stuck. You might even be experiencing scary symptoms of a mental health disorder.
You don’t have to go through these challenging times alone. Working with a counselor, therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist can provide the support you need to reduce symptoms and get through difficult times.
We want you to know that support is available. Working with a licensed mental health professional from Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Sugar Land can help you chart a healthier, happier path forward.
Reasons To Try Therapy or Counseling
Your life and your specific challenges are unique to you. It’s impossible to list all of the reasons why you might want to work with a licensed professional counselor but here are some common examples:
- You’re having trouble communicating with others at work, school, or in your personal relationships.
- Anxiety, depression, or symptoms of another mental health condition are impacting your life.
- Situations in your life are putting you under a lot of stress and you need helping find ways to cope.
- You’re struggling to get through a difficult loss in your life.
So many people think that therapy or counseling is only for those with severe mental illness but that’s not the case. Life is filled with difficult times and working with a mental health professional can help people with mental health challenges, both big and small.

This isn’t an exhaustive list of services and you can expect your counselor or therapist to work with you to determine what kind of support is best for you. This process usually involves a few primary steps:
- Your therapist or counselor will get to know you during your first session. You’ll discuss your challenges, symptoms, and goals.
- Your provider will create an individualized treatment plan that will help you achieve your goals. This will usually involve some type of talk therapy and might include prescription medication as well, as needed.
- You will work with your provider over the course of future sessions. Each session will be different –– you might discuss a symptom you’re experiencing, solve a particular problem you’re facing, or talk about ways to manage stress in your life.
Therapy can be a long-term or short-term process depending on your needs. No matter what you’re looking to get out of therapy, your provider will create a judgment-free space for you to discuss your issues and concerns.

Online Psychiatry: What To Expect
Our completely virtual psychiatric sessions are staffed by psychiatrists who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing mental illnesses. The biggest difference between a psychiatrist and any other mental health professional is that a psychiatrist attends medical school and earns a medical degree. They’re doctors with a focus on mental illness, which helps them understand the connection between your physical health and mental health.
Working with a psychiatrist can help anyone suffering from mild or severe cases of mental conditions like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. They’re able to administer the full range of treatment options, including prescription medications and psychotherapy.
Our psychiatrists work with their clients through convenient online sessions –– contact us today if you’d like to set up a phone or video appointment at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Sugar Land.
