Profile last reviewed
Rita Masterson, MS, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor at ACWS in North Little Rock, with telehealth available in Arkansas.
My treatment philosophy is to walk beside the client while providing mental health services to adolescents and adults so each individual can achieve his or her goals.
I was born and raised on a small farm in Montana. I relocated to Florida and raised my family before moving to Arkansas. I enjoy spending time with my family and attending rodeos.
My passion is assisting people to achieve their individual goals and live a happy, healthy lifestyle. I have worked with all age groups, finding my passion with adolescents and adults. My therapeutic approach is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and person-centered therapy. I am also certified in suicide intervention. I use EMDR for trauma therapy and am available for telehealth (online counseling) services. I have experience working at an agency where I provided services to individuals from the age of 6 to 68, including assessment and diagnosis, and individual, family, and group therapy.
