Each child, adolescent and adult has their own unique ability to survive and thrive.
My ideal client would be someone who is open to expressive therapies when words are not enough. Goals ranging from increasing coping skills and self-acceptance to crisis intervention, I believe that connection is one of the most important factors in the therapy setting and clients would want to partner together in healing.

I have worked considerably with pre- teen, adolescent, and adult clients.
There is no doubt that life can get hard, and sometimes we just need to talk about it. I use a very heartfelt and humanistic approach when it comes to therapy because as a human being myself, I have seen my own share of adversity and strife. I use a cognitive behavioral approach as well. I truly believe the way one thinks greatly influences their emotions and behaviors. Every person has a story, and I seek to get to know that story. I feel in order to truly understand where one is in life, it is important to understand where they have been.

You might be an adolescent, young adult or young at heart adult experiencing loneliness, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life pressures, existential woe or simply some unwanted emotion that you can't quite name yet, any and all of which I would love to explore with you.

I strive to create a safe and empowering space for you to explore the experiences that have led you here and I do this by leaning on connection, non-judgmental and somatic approaches and a splash of humor.

I also have a passion for helping teens struggling with fear of rejection and isolation create healthy boundaries and process all the emotions that come along with being a teen.
Hey there! I'm Karen Lanxon, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I offer both practical and Christian counseling to help Texas working moms find balance, restore purpose, and thrive without the stronghold of guilt and burnout. I’m a working mom of three amazing kids (two young adult boys and a preteen girl, Yikes!) and married to my high school sweetheart. As a Christian, wife, and working mom myself, I get it! I’ve been there too. Overwhelmed. Running on empty. Wondering when I stopped recognizing the woman in the mirror. I felt guilty when I took time for myself. Here’s the truth: experiencing a fulfilling life is possible.
