Therapists in Texas

Whatever the challenge you are facing today, counseling can help you find your path to your authentic self and a life you love and deserve. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor licensed in Texas with over 27 years of experience working as a professional counselor and life coach. My practice has transitioned into one that promotes growth and change in individual adults and couples. I am trained in mediation and as a collaborative law counseling facilitator. My practice specializes in women’s issues, relationship issues, and individual transition issues. I assist employers, employees, students, athletes, and professional performance artists in the process of tapping into their core self to release the optimum level in talent, skill, and productivity. Counseling can be what you make of it; therefore, I utilize a multifaceted program of therapy (solution focused, client-centered, Cognitive Behavioral) in order to address your challenges which are as unique and individualized as are you. In other words, I am flexible in my approach. My goal is to meet you where you are in your journey and together, we will take the steps necessary toward living the life you want to live. During your counseling journey, my role is to help guide you in your discovery of the challenges you are facing and then reflect your feelings, statements, and actions in response to your identified challenges. We all need someone to listen and reflect to us (without fear of judgment) the story we tell of our struggles; therefore, counseling is meant for each one of us at some point in our lives. I believe this is the reason you are here learning about how I can be here for you – if you choose. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. Challenges impact every part of your life – mentally, physically, spiritually, so let’s start your journey today.

I am comfortable with different backgrounds and belief systems. I've taught at the university level and feel that teaching and encouraging others is something that will always be a passion of mine but I'm also always open to learning!

I have worked through the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I'm eclectic in my approach and know that there is not one approach that will work for everyone. I am willing to tailor my services to your needs. Choosing to take action to address something that is challenging for you is powerful and can greatly impact your life.

Good day! My name is Daniel and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience serving multiple populations including clients struggling through financial hardship, life changes, relationship issues, emotional/ physical abuse/trauma, diagnosis of a serious mental illness in the family, and depression/ anxiety. I graduated from the University of Texas A&M - Commerce and am currently licensed in California, Kentucky, and Texas. I believe the bravest and most fulfilling way to grow is to "do the work" and I look forward to assisting clients in that journey in every way that I can. I prefer an interactive style of therapy where the client is the expert in their care and the therapist's role is to assist them in reaching their objectives. A successful client/ therapist relationship will leave the client feeling heard, respected, and more confident in their daily life. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. The client takes the lead in therapy and I will modify my approach to meet your needs. The bravest and most fulfilling way to grow is to "do the work" and I look forward to assisting you in that journey in every way that I can.

Hi, I am KT. I have over 20 years of university teaching and working with a variety of individuals as a licensed professional counselor (LPG). To name a few of the challenges they wanted to address: anxiety, stress, relationship/communication issues, anger management, resiliency, survivors of sexual trauma and abuse, self-development challenges, aging, and/or existential issues. I see myself as a member of your growth team. I believe we all can grow, improve, and celebrate throughout our life spans, if we are willing to do some work. Flexibility is important. We will set goals and revise them as needed, utilizing science-based treatment strategies as we work to help you. There is no cookie-cutter answer. You should gain coping skills and strategies to help your growth. I collaborate with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared safely without fear of shame or judgment. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, respectful of spirituality, diversity, and culture. I describe myself as a lifelong learner who is caring, sensitive, and empathic, and I am in awe of people's courage and hope. I know it is difficult to reach out and talk with a stranger the first few times, but it is worth the effort. Take good care. Karena T. Valkyrie, PhD, LPC (TX) "KT"
