Hi, I’m Karen Lanxon, a Licensed Professional Counselor and fellow working mom. I help Texas moms create balance, rediscover their purpose, and thrive—without being weighed down by guilt, burnout, or the pressure to do it all. As a mom of three (two young adult sons and a preteen daughter—send prayers! LOL!) and wife to my high school sweetheart, I know how real the juggle is. I’m a people-loving, Jesus-following, joy-seeking woman who thrives on journaling, dancing in the kitchen, serving at church, and laughing until I can’t breathe. But here’s the truth—I’ve been there too. Overwhelmed. Running on empty. Wondering when I stopped recognizing the woman in the mirror. I’ve learned that you can love Jesus AND need therapy. I've learned that rest is holy and that it’s okay to say “no” to make space for the things that light you up. With some gentle nudging from my husband (read: “Karen, you’re doing too much”), I’ve learned the value of setting boundaries and choosing grace over perfection. With over 20 years of experience working with families in foster care, education, and ministry, I’ve always felt drawn to helping others heal and grow—especially moms. As a Christian, wife, and working mom myself, I get it! You don’t have to hold everything together alone. I’m here to walk with you as you grow not just as a parent, but as the whole person God created you to be. Let’s find the rhythm that works for you—one filled with rest, real joy, and room to thrive in every season.

You want to feel better. Less overwhelmed. More connected. Like yourself again. Hi, I’m Megan — a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years of experience supporting adults through life’s most emotionally complex and overwhelming seasons.

I received my license to practice marriage and family therapy in Texas in 1995. Over the years I've had the opportunity to work successfully with many different types of clients. I am experienced with mood disorders including depression and bipolar disorder. Anxiety, and adjustment disorders are quite common. We are all products of our family and culture so these issues are discussed in individual and couples counseling sessions. Because my specialty is marriage and family counseling, I sometimes work with couples or with several family members in the counseling session. If you are seeking marital therapy, then you are already aware of how complex it is to resolve problems to satisfy both of you. I want you to know that it is possible to unravel the issues and resolve them. All that is required is honesty – primarily with yourself – and a bit of work. We have seen many couples return to a peaceful and satisfying marriage. My counseling style is relaxed, but very direct. I prefer for clients to come to counseling weary of how things are going and prepared to begin changing their life. I practice solution-oriented and CBT counseling techniques which means that we work hard to ensure you come to as few sessions as possible. Many clients report 6 to 10 sessions are sufficient to provide mastery over the symptoms that brought them to therapy. Integrity, honesty and decency are keys to success and it is my commitment to bring these characteristics to each session.

If I am not the right fit for you, I will assist you in finding the right counselor. I have over 20 plus years experience.
