About me

Hi, I’m Marilyn Hancock, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD and dyslexia, I understand how difficult it can feel when the world doesn’t seem built for you. That experience fuels my passion for supporting neurodiverse adults, including those with ADHD, dyslexia, or on the autism spectrum, as well as individuals navigating anxiety, grief, PTSD, or depression. My approach is compassionate and collaborative—I’ll meet you where you are, honor your unique story, and help you build the tools and confidence to move forward. Together, we’ll work toward healing, growth, and creating a life you truly love.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together we will start with a brief introduction, and then dive into the challenges you are facing. Together we will devise a plan that will help you meet your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with people suffering from depression and anxiety, I have developed a skill set that enabled me to many of my clients in healing from trauma and emerging triumphant, ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism often go undiagnosed. Even though with a diagnosis who have had accommodations still struggle. It’s a whole new world when you leave her school and get out on your own. Let’s walk through those struggles together.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have helped many client recover quickly from anxiety dis orders and panic attacks. I understand the struggles of adults with ADHD and Autism and Dyslexia, often being diagnosed in adulthood, spending their childhood with self esteem issues, wondering why things that seemed easy for other people were so difficult for them. Anyone who struggles with grief from the loss of a loved one to grief over a lost childhood or a divorce. It is often our fragile egos that prevent us from stepping out of our comfort zones to meet the rewards of a new career or a new relationship. Self esteem often hold people back from leaving a job beneath their abilities or a partner that is narcissistic and abusive.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used CBT to help my clients find symptom relief from depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other issues that are preventing them from having the optimal mental health. I also incorporate mindfulness and give options on the amount of time you would like to spend doing this. I can send you videos on five minute sessions are 30 minute sessions not Tom sessions and morning sessions.

Adlerian

It is irrational beliefs that cause anxiety and depression. When my clients learn to set more realistic expectations that they learn to relax.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)

I am eclectic in my approach using modalities that best meet your needs. I use primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but you tell me your story and I will approach the process based on your needs.

Narrative

You will be totally and completely valued from our first meeting. Your story is what matters.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

We will add this therapy in when the situation calls for it. Becoming centered and learning some breathing exercises and meditation is very useful for clients with anxiety. There are also mindfulness sessions that help people with ADHD. I will send you information on five minutes sessions nighttime sessions morning sessions our ADHD sessions.

Talking to Mrs. Marilyn feels like talking to a wise, trusted friend... one who just happens to have an incredible, life-changing gift. She’s warm, funny, caring, and exactly who I needed in this season. I genuinely believe God placed her in my life at the perfect time, and I’m so thankful.
