Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas with 6 years of experience. I help individuals, couples, and families learn to love and relate to one another in a more healthy and secure way based on a deeper understanding of each other’s experience and application of new skills. My clients seek me out when they've been experiencing relational distress and are unable to improve it on their own. You might consider me if you've tolerated your situation for years and the thought of continuing is so painful that you're on the brink of ending or cutting off the relationship unless things change. Prior to private practice, I provided trauma-informed care at nonprofit organizations helping unhoused persons recover from substance abuse and learn life transformation skills; and supervising court ordered visitation between children and their non-custodial parents. I hold an MA in Professional Counseling from Texas State University.

Hello! My name is Jessica Aleman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) serving the wonderful people of Texas. I have over 10 years experience in direct practice. Right now, I am working part-time as a therapist in addition to my full time position. One of my favorite things to do is spend time at the beach with my husband and spending time with my dogs Piper and Leo. I knew from a young age that I wanted to help people in some capacity and during school settled into social work. Experiences I have had growing up with my family allowed wonderful mental health professionals to help various family members on different things, and I am happy to now be that person who can support others. I have a great deal of experience providing treatment for a number of different diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, and mood disorders (among others). I also have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community to provide support and connection to resources. I have worked in a variety of settings, from community mental health, school based counseling (K-12 and higher education), and private practice settings. I believe that people are not defined by their experiences or what has happened to them in their past. Some of us just need some help to move forward in our lives past those experiences. I try my best to treat you and our therapeutic relationship with the utmost respect and understanding. My passion is working with young adults as they transition to the next stage in life, whatever that may be. I love supporting people through life changes and transitions, allowing people to blossom into who they truly are.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience providing compassionate care in Texas. My academic journey began at Texas State University, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Social Work, followed by a Master's degree from Our Lady of the Lake University, focusing on Services to Families. Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including as a therapist for children and families, at a substance abuse treatment facility, and within community organizations. These diverse experiences have enriched my understanding and equipped me to address the complex challenges clients face. My practice is deeply rooted in empathy and a strong commitment to healing. I support children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, substance abuse, and life stressors. I also assist clients in navigating grief, life transitions, and complex relationship dynamics. Having grown up in a military family, I possess unique insights into the challenges faced by military families, enabling me to offer specialized support and empathy to those navigating the complexities of military life. I utilize evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, to help clients overcome struggles and achieve positive outcomes. Life's challenges can feel like a relentless storm, leaving us feeling adrift and overwhelmed. In these moments, we may feel lost, with no clear direction or sense of safety. However, even the most powerful storms have an end. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore your feelings and find your way through the storm. You don't have to face these challenges alone; I am here to walk with you every step of the way. Together, we will navigate these turbulent waters, uncovering your strength and resilience.

Hi! My name is Sarah, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I also have School Counseling and Teaching degrees, with 19 years experience working at various levels and positions within the public school system supporting kids of all ages, parents, and staff members. I am also a wife and a mom. Life can be really hard and mental health can complicate things, and I know personally what a big step it is and how overwhelming it can be to look into counseling options for yourself or your child--trust me, it is well worth your time and efforts! While I have no magic wand, I am a great listener, known to be trusted and reliable, easy to talk and relate to, and well trained and experienced with multiple therapy modes. With my experience as a school mental health professional at various levels, I have supported kids and their parents through many issues and hardships that they have faced including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger, and school problems. During COVID, I became well versed with providing counseling in a virtual environment, and I am able to adjust and incorporate interactive activities with kids to keep it engaging, while at the same time focus on therapeutic goals. I also have special training (and personal experience as a foster/adopt parent) to work with kids and/or their caregivers who have experienced trauma. As a wife/mom, I am relatable and have personal and professional experience to provide counseling to women going through various struggles, roadblocks, and hardships. If you would like to incorporate your personal faith into counseling, please let me know, and we can make that as much of a priority as you would like.

Hey there! I'm Karen Lanxon, a Licensed Professional Counselor and I 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. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m a huge people person who loves the Lord, journaling, dancing, serving at my church, and finding every opportunity to laugh. My life is full, busy, and blessed—but I’d be lying if I said I’ve never felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or like I’ve lost a little bit of me in the shuffle. Through the under standing that it’s ok to have Jesus & therapy, plus the gentle, loving nudges from my husband (like, "Karen, you’re doing too much"), I’ve learned the power of saying no, prioritizing rest, and making space for the things that bring me joy: a quiet moment with my journal, a dance break in the kitchen, or laughing until my sides hurt, I’ve discovered that balance isn’t about perfection—it’s about grace. Through my personal journey and over 20 years working with families through the foster care system, education, and my church community, I felt called to counseling—especially to help fellow moms. As a Christian, wife, and working mom, I GET IT! I know firsthand the challenges of balancing work, family, and faith while trying not to lose yourself in the process. There’s nothing more fulfilling to me than helping women grow as parents, as individuals, and in their faith. Together, we can embrace imperfection and discover the beauty of thriving in every season of life. Book a FREE 15 min consult to see if we are a good fit!

I enjoy working with people to help them build a strong sense of self, encourage their confidence in relationships, and help foster a sense of calm and security in their everyday life. I enjoy helping parents navigate the many challenges that come our way. I believe people seek therapy for many reasons: adjustment to a new city or life situation, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or problems with relationships. Counseling is a process that most of us could benefit from time to time at different stages in life, as it brings an outsider's perspective to events, we are faced with in day-to-day life in a nonjudgmental way.

I was raised in a military family and have lived in multiple states, and while that often came with some adjustments, it also brought so many new opportunities to learn about community, culture, and forge new relationships.

I have been working in the field of mental health for 14 years. I have experience working with a diverse range of people and mental health disorders. My professional background includes experience in the inpatient, outpatient, and intake hospital setting; non-profit agency setting; and, most recently, private practice. This experience allowed me the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families utilizing a variety of unique interventions including cognitive-behavioral therapy, play therapy, eye movement desensitization (EMDR), and sand tray. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but I often take a client centered approach when building a trusting relationship with clients. Research shows that people who experience chronic mental health concerns have untreated trauma, which can occur from a variety of different experiences. Of course, trauma does not account for all mental health concerns, so it is important to be able to meet client's where they are at and provide interventions that are helpful to the individual needs of each client.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Texas rather than a city like Dallas?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Texas from Houston to Austin! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Texas.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Foster Care/Adoption?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Foster Care/Adoption, is filtering therapists in Texas that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
