Be brave enough to be your authentic self! I am licensed in Texas, Pennsylvania and OK, and soon in my home state of NY. I have a genuine, Person-Centered approach, and believe that everyone is a unique individual. I provide a safe, supportive space, in which my clients can explore the issues and challenges they face, with unconditional positive regard. I offer online video counseling from the comfort of your own home via a free, easy to use, HIPAA compliant video app. With warmth and humor, I will help you work on finding meaning in your life; accepting yourself for who you are, and creating the life you want.

I enjoy and have experience working with a variety of issues and populations. I specialize in working with emerging and young adults navigating through anxiety, depression, life transitions, family of origin issues, identity exploration, and healing from trauma. I am also passionate about working with clients experiencing issues in pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. I am LGBTQIA affirming, trauma-informed, diversity aware, and inclusive. In our collaborative work together, you will find a compassionate, open-minded, honest and intentional therapist.

Anyone who has ever experienced a challenging life event knows how difficult it can be to talk to someone about it. Healing from these experiences is a process. If you're reading this, then you are already taking one of the most challenging steps in that process: reaching out. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Austin, Texas. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ experiences, anxiety, depression, men's issues, and relationship challenges.

Not accepting new clients as I transition into maternity leave through January 2025. Shutting off the "inner critic" can often feel impossible. As such, most of the adults I treat struggle with negative beliefs about themselves in addition to anxiety/depression, body dysmorphia/low self-esteem, heartbreak/relationship problems or early attachment wounds/relational trauma. Supporting college students and young professionals who are navigating adulthood and the myriad of personal and professional challenges that can arise during this time is a passion of mine. I also enjoy supporting perfectionists and high-achieving individuals.

The path forward. That's how we think of therapy at Discovery Counseling. We're here to help you navigate the highs and lows. The challenges and triumphs. That means the hard stuff and the big transitions. The persistent issues and the seemingly small stuff too. Experience tells us that you've got all the skills and smarts you need to thrive. So we'll help you find your path and we'll follow it alongside you. Whether you're searching for mental health, career aspirations, family healing or nutrition counseling, we're here to help tap into your inner wisdom and set out on the next phase of your journey.

Are you seeking a deeper understanding and a deeper sense of connection with yourself and in your relationships? Have you and a loved one struggled to communicate lately? Do you miss the relationship you used to have? I work with individuals who are navigating relationships, mental health challenges, and identity, as well as families and couples going through periods of change and disconnection, to find and express their more authentic selves and to find connection again. In my work with you, I aim to foster a sense of authenticity, hope, and empowerment.

Do you often feel misunderstood? Have you been told to toughen up because you are "too sensitive"? Do you long to feel closer to others but feel overwhelmed by the task? Having the capacity for depth and complexity can be difficult to navigate in our competitive, linear-oriented, results-driven culture. Knowing and accepting yourself for simply "you" (not who others think you should be) is an important practice to cultivate and will help release toxic stress and shame, allowing you to connect more deeply with yourself and others.

Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit for you can be hard. And to add an extra layer of difficulty, you’re often trying to find a therapist when life is already hard enough. I enjoy providing therapy for teenagers and young adults experiencing: 1) grief and loss, 2) stress associated with major life changes, and 3) anxiety related to perfectionism or performance. While I am best trained to provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I usually integrate CBT with other types of therapy based on my clients' needs!

I specialize in working with couples and young adults who feel suffocated by anxious thoughts and overwhelmed by emotions. I especially enjoy helping individuals who are developing their racial or ethnic identities as well as interracial or multicultural couples work through the challenges of blending two cultures in marriage. I work with clients in both English and Spanish, helping them gain clarity to confidently live the life they choose. I know from my own path to wellness that my therapy experience has freed me to live with intention. I feel honored to walk alongside others as they move toward self-discovery and acceptance.

Hi there! My name is Linda Wilbourn, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the Texas Hill Country and working with clients in the state of Texas via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, trauma, and emotional dysregulation using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help clients learn strategies and gain tools to propel themselves toward healing and get to where they wish to be with their lives.

If you’re seeking therapy, you might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious or out of control. You might be struggling with pain from your childhood, unhealthy relationships, low self-esteem or simply seeking to understand why you feel the way you do. Regardless of where you are in your journey, I would love to walk alongside you and help you find peace and resolution. I provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients. I believe that we all have the innate capacity to heal and I help clients work through the issues blocking their path to recovery.

No matter the reason for seeking help, I’m glad you found me. Needing support is not an admission of defeat. Life is tough, and you and I are not excluded from being affected by hardship. You may be feeling scared, or worried, or maybe even excited! These are all normal feelings when looking for a therapist whether you are new to counseling or have been in therapy before. I believe in living authentically, in any way that feels most true to you. Together we will explore what living authentically means to you and work with your strengths to process past trauma and build your life in a way that you are excited about.

Is anyone ANXIOUS out there?! I think I heard a resounding "YES!" What a stressful, uncertain time we are in now...COVID, global warming, conflicts everywhere - between politicians, neighbors, countries, etc. I specialize in anxiety management, but I find that it is a big umbrella issue that includes many other things, so I talk to my clients about the circumstances, relationships, ways of thinking that contribute to their stress. Each person is unique, and I try to match my approach to their needs. I also like to have fun with my clients. Therapy with me isn't all about gloom and doom. It's about positive change!

I work with children, teens and young adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, life transitions, identity, and LGBTQ+ issues. Clients often begin therapy with me in search of relief from OCD/anxiety, support managing the transition into college or adulthood, self-acceptance, a space to explore their identity, ways to create more meaningful relationships with others, or parenting support. I also work with parents to provide insight and teach skills that allow them to confidently support and respond to their child/teen struggling with OCD/anxiety. I am certified in and offer PCIT for children 7 and younger with behavioral challenges.

I work with adults impacted by substance use and mental health related issues. Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation? Are you seeking therapy not only to alleviate your immediate distress but also to cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself? I bring a client-centered approach that emphasizes compassion, empathy, and respect for individual experiences.

Ditch survival mode, reclaim your life. My clients struggle as you do. Despite being smart, determined, and kind, life is hard. When they first come in, they experience thoughts and emotions as too intense. They have trouble living in the moment and feel as though anxiety and worry have taken over their lives. While they're great at making people feel good, they struggle to do the same for themselves. Before therapy, my clients felt guilt and shame for struggling. Other people seem to have it all together, why can’t they? The pressure they put on themselves was pervasive. They felt exhausted trying to manage everything on their own.

Life can be difficult and full of unexpected challenges. I work with adolescents, adults and families in addressing these challenges, finding new ways to cope and function more effectively. I have experience treating disordered eating, body image, self harm, anxiety, interpersonal issues and depression. I also have experience assisting those going through life transitions such as divorce, job changes, and grief. While having been trained in dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy, I also incorporate other theoretical backgrounds in my approach, depending on client need and individual personality.

How do you define adulthood in a modern world? No one tells you how to be an adult. Or maybe too many people tell you too many things. And how do you know when you’ve gotten there? The answer to this question is different for everyone. It’s not surprising you’re feeling lost, confused, anxious, or depressed thinking about adulthood. Our brains continue to develop well into our mid-20s, yet society expects us to have things figured out by then. I know I definitely didn’t! People wait much longer to meet the milestones of previous generations, and then are just expected to know how to navigate everything in the meantime.
