I’m Artrevisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Texas and Mississippi with over 10 years of experience supporting adults 18+ through anxiety, depression, stress, and cognitive challenges. I blend evidence-based therapies like CBT, Solution-Focused, and Client-Centered approaches to create personalized, compassionate care. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, validated, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful change at your own pace.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In your first session with me, we’ll start by getting to know each other and creating a safe, welcoming space for you to share your story. I’ll ask about what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, and your goals for our work together. This helps me understand your unique needs so we can develop a personalized plan that fits your life. You can expect a relaxed, conversational approach where your feelings and experiences are respected and validated. There’s no pressure to have all the answers, this is your time to explore, reflect, and begin building the tools and insights that will support your growth. Together, we’ll lay the foundation for a collaborative journey toward healing and positive change.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is its compassionate, client-centered nature combined with practical, evidence-based methods. I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. This flexible approach allows us to address a wide range of concerns—from anxiety and depression to life transitions and cognitive challenges—with strategies that are both effective and accessible. Clients often appreciate the safe, nonjudgmental space I create, where they feel truly heard and supported. The results I aim for go beyond symptom relief; I help clients build lasting coping skills, gain clarity, and foster resilience so they can navigate life’s challenges with confidence and empowerment.

I am best positioned to support adults aged 18 and older who are navigating life transitions such as career changes, relationship challenges, or personal growth. Whether you’re a young professional striving for work-life balance, someone managing stress, anxiety, or depression, or an individual seeking clarity and direction, I’m here to help. My clients often come with a desire to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Together, we’ll create a personalized, empathetic approach that honors your unique experiences and goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it’s a practical, evidence-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In my practice, I’ve seen CBT empower individuals to better manage anxiety, depression, and stress, leading to improved coping skills and more positive daily experiences. It provides tools that clients can apply long after therapy ends, fostering lasting change.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use a person-centered approach because I believe every individual is unique and deserves to be heard, respected, and supported in a way that honors their own values and experiences. In my practice, this approach helps build trust and creates a safe space where clients feel comfortable exploring their feelings and goals. I've seen clients gain confidence, increase self-awareness, and make meaningful progress by feeling truly understood and empowered throughout their journey.
Psychoeducation
I use psychoeducation because understanding your mental health and the challenges you face can be a powerful step toward healing. By learning about how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors work, clients become better equipped to manage symptoms and make informed decisions about their care. In my practice, I’ve seen that when clients gain this knowledge, they feel more in control, less overwhelmed, and more confident in applying coping strategies to improve their well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) because it offers practical skills to manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve relationships. In my practice, DBT has helped clients develop mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and effective interpersonal skills. These tools empower clients to handle life’s challenges more skillfully and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Grief Therapy
I use grief therapy because it provides a safe space to process loss and the complex emotions that come with it. In my practice, I’ve seen that grief therapy helps clients navigate their unique journey, find meaning, and gradually rebuild their lives while honoring their feelings and memories. It supports healing at your own pace.
