What is Dietician Counseling?

Dietician counseling is a one-on-one session with a licensed food and nutrition expert who reviews your eating habits, medical history and lifestyle to help you set achievable goals. Through personalized guidance-both in person or via telehealth-you'll learn meal planning, portion control and evidence-based strategies to improve digestion, energy levels and overall well-being.

Common Symptoms

You may benefit from dietician counseling if you experience:

  • Bloating, gas or stomach pain after meals
  • Unintended weight loss or gain
  • Persistent fatigue or low energy
  • Difficulty managing blood sugar or cholesterol
  • Frequent food allergies or sensitivities

Causes

Several factors can contribute to nutrition problems that warrant professional support:

  • Busy schedules leading to fast-food or convenience meals
  • Lack of knowledge about balanced meals and portion sizes
  • Chronic health conditions like IBS, diabetes or heart disease
  • Emotional or stress-driven eating patterns
  • Relying on general online advice instead of personalized, local expertise

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between dietician counseling and nutrition counseling?

Dietician counseling is provided by a state-licensed professional trained in medical nutrition therapy, while nutrition counseling may be offered by someone without formal licensure or clinical credentials.

How long are the sessions?

Your first visit takes about 60 minutes for a comprehensive assessment. Follow-up appointments typically last 30-45 minutes to review progress and adjust your plan.

Is dietician counseling covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans include coverage for dietician services. Our staff can help you verify your benefits and submit claims on your behalf.

What should I bring to the first visit?

Please bring any recent lab reports, a 3-day food diary (including everything you eat and drink), and a list of current medications and supplements.

What does a dietician near Katy do?

A local dietician assesses your unique needs, creates personalized meal plans, tracks your progress, and collaborates with your healthcare team to support digestive and overall health.

Can my doctor refer me for dietician counseling?

Yes. A physician referral can strengthen your care plan, especially if you have gastrointestinal conditions or other medical concerns that benefit from nutrition intervention.

What counseling methods are used?

We employ evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, mindful eating practices, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to support lasting change.

Should I compare salaries when choosing a dietician?

Rather than focusing on salary, prioritize the dietician's credentials, experience, and ability to help you meet your personal health goals.

Do you offer virtual appointments?

Yes. We provide telehealth counseling so you can meet with our dietician from the comfort and safety of your home on a flexible schedule.
