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!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions; you'll be able to share what brought you to therapy and your expectations. I'll also share a little bit more about myself and the approaches I believe may work best for your needs. It will be a collaboration between the both of us. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my favorite parts of being a counselor is connecting with my clients on a deep and genuine level. I’m known among colleagues as "the laughing therapist" because I believe humor can be a powerful tool for healing. I create an atmosphere of transparency, authenticity, and acceptance, where clients feel safe to share their struggles and victories. Building rapport quickly comes naturally to me because I show up as my true self—open, caring, and ready to listen without judgment. My goal is always to make my clients feel seen, valued, and empowered to take the next step in their journey. Whether we’re laughing together or processing through tough emotions, I want every session to be a space where clients can breathe, reflect, and grow. READY TO BOOK?
