Therapists Beginning With C in Texas

Currently accepting new LPC Interns for supervision. I have been blessed to help many LPC Interns reach their goals of becoming successful, fully licensed counselors. To me, this is a joy and calling.

Making the decision to seek help is often a difficult one and takes courage. I practice from a holistic perspective, attending to biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. I seek to understand the interaction of individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors. I work to identify risk factors contributing to the development of difficulties and to uncover specific protective factors to promote resilience. I believe in change and healing. There is hope, even if you feel your situation is hopeless. It is my privilege to join with you and to offer you new insights and ways to work through pain and problems.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are interested in seeking self-improvement and personal empowerment. With the client's active participation, my role is to provide guidance and support as they address issues or obstacles keeping them from achieving their goals. When working with minors, I am an advocate for the child as they work through their struggles that prevent them from developing their fullest potential. I also provide support to the parent(s) as they learn new ways to parent their child during a challenging time.

I am an eclectic therapist that combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapeutic evidence-based approaches. The underlying principles in my approach are that treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem and more can be traced to experiences, beliefs of shame, and other negative core beliefs in an individual. Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counseling process. I believe in providing a holistic counseling therapy process so you live a wholly present, healthy life.

*Now taking new clients - January 2022* Trauma, whether recent or past, abrupt or occurring over a long time, can disrupt your life in significant ways. It can be scary to begin the process of change - who will you be when things are different? I know from personal experience what trauma can do and how therapy can change the trajectory of your life. I'm dedicated to offering compassionate and effective therapies for trauma and the grief that so often accompanies it to those who require a competent and supportive therapist to provide immediate support and understanding.

Depression and anxiety can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, and scared without even knowing why. Life can be overwhelming with all of the stress that comes from school, family, pressures from friends, not feeling good enough, and the list goes on. Racing thoughts, feelings of loneliness and hopelessness, lack of motivation, and fear of what life is going to throw at us next are just a few common symptoms. However, there is hope for a sense of calmness in the storm. You can get through these challenging experiences with more confidence.

I see myself as a companion to you or to your family and children in this journey that is life. I feel honored that you are choosing me to be a witness to your growth as an individual, parent, child, sibling, and partner.

You may be experiencing symptoms and signs of depression that are weighing you down.

You need a professional support system and advocate to provide you a safe space where you can dig deep into those challenging emotions and begin to work on becoming your most authentic self.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified School Counselor and a Certified Trauma and Loss Specialist. I have 28 years of experience in counseling. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults dealing with multiple issues including anxiety, behavioral issues, grief and trauma. I will offer the approach that will work best in each situation as all needs are different.

To honestly know yourself is to pursue a lifelong journey of self-exploration, to gain a deeper understanding of oneself in the wake of life events, and, especially, to be willing to share with others who may be navigating a similar quest-- or even with those who are able to extend a great deal of empathy. This may be tough, scary work, but the rewards are invaluable, to put it lightly. You gain a deeper sense of freedom and autonomy to decide how you want to live, and truly become the author of your own story.

Do you want to understand yourself better and grow to be the best version of yourself that you can be? You deserve to feel respected, heard, understood, and safe. You also deserve to laugh, have self compassion, and know that no matter what you're going through, you can be kind to yourself. Curiosity, creativity, and humor can also go a long way in your healing and growth! Each person brings their own unique situation and perspective. I will work with you to get to know the real you so that we find your own unique solutions and coping skills.

In life, we typically feel happiest when things are going exactly as we expect. Unfortunately, life and relationships rarely play out this way; leaving us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and powerless to meet our everyday challenges. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and adolescents who want to explore how to get unstuck and move forward. I have worked closely with children and adults struggling through various crises, including: grief, ADHD, interpersonal relationships, sexuality, identity, regulating emotions, self harm, trauma, and a wide array of other challenges.

Throughout my experience in the field, I have learned that I am drawn to and typically use an eclectic approach. In therapy, I draw from different theories and techniques to best address your presenting concern(s). My goal is to work collaboratively with you to create a plan for therapy that both meets your needs and is conducive to growth. We are all unique and what works for one person, may not be the right approach for someone else.

My greatest strength is empathy, the ability to put myself in the shoes of my client to understand what they are feeling. Every brain is as unique as DNA, which means problems can present differently in people and can be triggered by different issues. I work with all ages, from children with ADHD to senior citizens with cognitive decline. Sometimes the client needs to build a toolbox, and other times, we can teach the brain new ways of processing information. It all depends on what issues you are dealing with in order to determine what solutions are available. I will guide you through what options are available for you to decide.

Hello, I'm Carol (she/her). I am currently earning my Master of Social Work degree and my Clinical Social Work certificate. I've had the opportunity to work with children, young adults, and adults with a range of experiences. This includes, but isn't limited to, substance use, mental health diagnoses, physical health issues, family issues, legal issues and LGBTQIA+ matters. My goal is to create a safe environment for people to explore their thoughts, feelings, goals, and experiences. I believe that honesty and humor are two of the best tools to use in therapy. I would be grateful for the opportunity to work with you!
