Getting to know Meera Rao-Bette

Meera is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with individuals, couples, and families to bring about positive change that helps them cope with life situations hampering their ability to function at an optimal level. She has worked in diverse therapeutic settings—psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, EAP counseling, community counseling centers, managed care, and private practice. This experience has given her the ability to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to her clients, no matter their presenting problem. After earning her PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Houston, Meera worked in medical research before realizing her true passion was working directly with people. She then pursued a Master’s degree in Family Therapy from Texas Woman’s University and has never looked back. Meera works with those suffering from anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, work-related issues, and self-esteem challenges. Her preferred approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it empowers clients to find and implement strategies to change problematic behavior. She helps clients define their goals and uses a Solution-Focused approach to assist and support them on their journey to acquire tools for managing life. Meera also teaches Anger Management to individuals and helps them and their families build communication and conflict resolution skills. Meera is multilingual and speaks three Indian languages: Hindi, Urdu, and Kannada.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our sessions will feel like collaborative conversations, designed to be open and supportive. My focus is on teaching practical skills to help you work toward meaningful change, with clear goals we’ll set together. Expect an active, engaging process where we partner to address your needs and build strategies for growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My typical process for working with clients begins with an initial appointment where I gather information and assess whether my approach aligns with your needs to ensure a good fit. From there, we build a collaborative therapeutic relationship focused on exploring your current goals and developing strategies to achieve them. Throughout our sessions, clients process feelings and life experiences that may impact their ability to reach their therapeutic goals.
