My name is Robert “Tony” Bell and I am a licensed professional counselor in the State of Texas, with over 14 years of experience working in the mental health field. I am a Christian, and blessed with a wonderful wife, three amazing children, and six adorable grandkids (all boys!). My counseling experience covers the entire age spectrum from children and adolescents to geriatric patients, as well as couples counseling, in both individual and group settings. I have a variety of experience counseling people with depression, anxiety/stress, coping with grief and loss, addiction, low self esteem, relationship issues, family conflict, bipolar, and many other issues as well.
I first want to recognize you for your courage in reaching out for professional help. I would consider it a privilege to help you discover the peace and happiness that can be gained through the counseling process and how much better life can be. God created us to enjoy life, not just endure it. I will always treat you with respect and kindness in a non-judgmental environment, where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and experiences to ensure your goals and needs are met.
My approach to therapy would be described as eclectic, where I incorporate a variety of counseling techniques, including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. There are useful and effective aspects found in all modes of therapy, which can be blended to customize a treatment plan unique to each individual client in order to address their specific goals and needs.

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.

Tony is the best! I came to him thinking I had one set of problems and he helped me identify the fact that I really have other areas to work in. Identifying the problem rather than the solution.
"Tony" is very nonjudgmental and is a very attentive listener. He has a vast array of his own experiences, that helps with being able to help me thru my own issues.
Toby is a great listener and is the blunt type of therapist instead of beating around the bush and hoping you make the right choice . He listens to what you have to say completely and always responds as soon as he can when others take weeks!

He's wonderful.
Robert has been so gracious and patient with me trying to navigate a good time for sessions with our odd schedule. He listens and is very respectful.
Robert "Tony" has been the first therapist I have been able to discuss my life hardships with. I was apprehensive to begin therapy, and I was upfront with Tony about that and he eased my hesitation within our first meeting. I have only had a handful of meetings with Tony so far, but I already feel like I've been matched with a caring therapist, qualified in this field, and he has been professional and friendly. Tony has made discussing difficult things feel less daunting, and has recommended steps along the way to begin healing. I am very pleased with Tony as my therapist and look forward to each of our meetings. Thank you so much!
