Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Lago Vista, TX
I approach therapy from a Person Centered approach utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Hi there and welcome! If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, depressed, or unsure about what’s next, you’re not alone—and there’s nothing “wrong” with you for feeling this way. A lot of people I work with are navigating big transitions, relationship stress, loneliness, anxiety, burnout, or that quiet sense of pressure to have life figured out by now. It can be exhausting to carry all of that on your own. I hope to be there to support you so you can share your burdens in a space full of grace, respect, and compassion.

You don’t have to love every moment of motherhood to be a good mom — and you don’t have to navigate anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or life transitions alone.
I primarily work with women and mothers, including those navigating pregnancy and postpartum, who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they’re becoming in this season of life. Many of my clients are caring, capable people who are used to holding everything together while quietly struggling inside.

My ideal client would be where you find yourself trying to hold it together, and you may not look for help until a situation has gotten worse and its almost a crisis.

It's hard to ask for help but here you are, and what you thought might work is not working any more. You would find yourself in my office feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, confused but feeling like you had taken the first step to finding HOPE.

Using EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness, we'll work together to process tough experiences, ease stress, and help you feel more confident, grounded, and connected in your motherhood journey.
Does this sound familiar? Motherhood isn't what you expected? You feel constantly overwhelmed. You keep thinking, "It shouldn't be this hard." You worry that something bad will happen if you're not constantly alert. Your mind never stops - it's a constant loop of planning, worrying, and managing everyone else's needs. You feel emotionally disconnected from your partner. Crying for no reason. You love your kids, but sometimes you just want to run away for a day - or a week - and not be touched or needed by anyone. You experienced a traumatic birth that you can't get past. The NICU looms large. You are holding it together. Barely.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
