Positive Psychology Therapists in Beaumont, TX

Hello! I love collaborating with my clients to achieve their personal goals and develop creative strategies to cope with life's stressors. I have been an LPC for over 11 years, and worked with seniors, adults, teens, and children from any location in TX via teletherapy (video/phone) who struggle with depression, anxiety, life transitions, spirituality, relationship issues, stress/anger management, coping skills, family conflict, marital/premarital issues, cultural/ethnic issues, career counseling, self-esteem, academic challenges, LGBTQ, Autism/ADHD, Emotional Disturbance and much more. Some therapeutic modalities I utilize include:

I have long held the belief we could all be thinking about and caring for our mental health all the time, not only when we’re sick. This has formed my ultimate goal through which I approach therapy: to help people better connect with themselves and others. Making space for the hardest parts of life is just as important as building community, discovering and using your strengths, and building a meaningful connection with yourself and those around you. Whether you are deeply struggling, looking to grow with a partner, or deepen your understanding of self and designing a life in alignment with that, this is a space for you.

We often feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of dysfunction in our lives. We allow emotions to choose our day and give away our power to unhelpful thinking. Therapy offers us a safe place of refuge, validation, and hope apart from our uncertain circumstances. The therapist and client develop a mutually respectful and healthy relationship built from developed trust and compassion. Within this domain, my goal is to deepen your insight, self-awareness, and help you practice kindness accepting that which is truly you. Together we will consider healthy perspectives and identify patterns that perpetuate unhelpful cycles.

Having a trusting relationship is one of the most powerful tools a therapist can provide. My goal is to provide an environment that is non-judgmental and open where my clients are validated, heard and confident in finding their voice. Most people just want to be heard and I am here to listen. Whether it is dealing with the stress of life, a constant pressure to be successful, relationship issues, or dealing with anxiety or low self esteem, you deserve to feel good.

My Focus and Specialties: I believe that the creation of a warm, supportive therapeutic relationship is at the core of healing. I strive to meet you where you are at on your life path and bring my knowledge to yours to enrich your life as fully as possible. My diverse background in the healing arts has made me highly effective with persons experiencing life transitions, crisis and trauma related concerns, stress, anxiety, and depression management, interpersonal relationships and communication problems, divorce, LGBTQ matters, and geriatrics.

I would like to help you focus on your inner strengths. In helping you to discover your own strengths and build on them, you start to accomplish small successes as you make your way to feeling better overall. The areas of focus in my practice are helping people face issues of Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Adjustment to life transitions, Grief/loss, etc... I have worked with children and a wide age range of adults in dealing with life issues successfully. I have also worked with people on an individual level, families, and couples. The goal of therapy will be to increase hope and encouragement to face life issues head on.

My name is Keri Cooper, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and LPC Supervisor with over 21 years of clinical experience working with older teens and adults who suffer from Anxiety, Stress, Coping Skills, Self Esteem, and Life Coaching issues.

I believe, from personal experiences, years of practice & teaching, that anyone can be empowered to face life challenges. Empowered individuals are resilient & able to bounce back from adversities. My main focus is to empower you & your loved ones to overcome challenges. As a professor for 8 years, I have trained & supervised hundreds of graduate students on evidence-based practices, positive psychology , Strength-based approaches, CBT, Trauma Focused CBT, DBT, & integration of music & spirituality into counseling.
