About My Clients
My clients tend to be dedicated to the counseling or life coaching process through regular weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions; recognizing that coaching/counseling is life-changing and improving, and a resource of accountability to stay on track or move forward effectively in life These clients are of all ages: teens, college students, adults, and the elderly. Their issues may be complex or simple support at differing developmental and transitional stages of their lives.
My Background and Approach
Because my background is not in just one field of study, I approach counseling or coaching through a broader view to reach specific client goals and needs. I am licensed in Texas as a LCSW (Social worker), LPC (professional counselor) and LMFT (marriage and family therapist). I am also an approved Texas Supervisor in all three of those same licensing areas. I am also a Certified Life Coach (non-mental health issues), a level I & II EMDR Certified Therapist, a Certified Anger Resolution Therapist, and have a great deal of practical experience and skills due to work experience as both a therapist and an administrator in both in-patient and out-patient hospital settings. (More of that experience can be found at: https://www.cliftonfuller.com/about). I enjoy working with clients to find solutions. I believe people are much stronger than they think; clients seeking help are among the strongest I know. They look reality in the face, yet are determined to positively change their lives.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people can overcome what may seem to be insurmountable issues, disabilities, circumstances, and life challenges, and can become stronger in the process. It may not be what we want to experience, but those experiences can build our determination, help us learn, help us avoid future entanglements, and help us help others who may be experiencing similar challenges. I believe all people have a right to be heard and respected, no matter their age, color, beliefs, sex, or race. I believe respect can be transferred and communicated from one person, country, or group to another. We thrive when united, rather than divided. We can disagree and not hate each other; we can choose different paths and still respect each other. We do not have to attack each other or always to be right. (There's no perfect person, family, or group.) As we learn skills to respect, find solutions, communicate, and care about each other, whether in difficult or good times, we become stronger and better people.
