Depression Therapists in Austin, TX

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have experience in a wide array of mental health fields, including working with individuals who have experienced trauma, grief & loss, and depression. I am passionate about working with culturally diverse populations, including those in the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community. Furthermore, I am extremely passionate about social justice and advocacy work. I am ready to get to know you and help guide you towards self-set goals and inner peace!

My journey as a professional counselor for the past two decades has been deeply rewarding. Witnessing the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of therapy has fueled my commitment to this work. Over the years, my expertise in trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions has grown through continuous learning and, most importantly, through the privilege of walking alongside countless individuals on their paths to healing and growth. My foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, coupled with a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach, has shaped my practice and my unwavering belief in the potential for positive change within each person I have the honor to support.

After graduating from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a Micro Social Work concentration, followed by passing the Texas state board exam granting me a license to practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with individuals and families for over 25 years. My first post graduation position was Director of Child & Adolescent Unit at Intracare Psychiatric Hospital, followed by Director of Adoption Access, then Lead Therapist at St. Joseph's Hospital Adult Unit, and other agency and hospital positions scanning a 20 year period. My professional focus has always been to work with individuals, families and children in need of support, guidance and resources.

Hey there!! I’m Karen Lanxon, a Licensed Professional Counselor and fellow working mom. As a Christian, 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. It can be tough. Overwhelmed. Running on empty. Wondering when you stopped recognizing the woman in the mirror. Fearing that going to counseling may look like a lack of faith, and hesitating to rest because there's always one more thing. Here's the truth: You can love Jesus AND go to therapy. Rest is holy, and it’s okay to say “no” to make space for the things that light you up. If you're ready to find you again, I'd love to help!

Hi! My name is Mira and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I graduated with a Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health from Midwestern State University. I also graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelors of Arts in Human Development and Family Sciences and a concentration on Families and Personal Relationships. As a child of immigrant parents, I understand the complexities of inter-generational trauma. The weight of cultural and societal expectations can take a toll on one’s mental health. Family and religious pressure can also have a negative effect on our own identity and self-perception. I believe that no matter what our past has given us or what our future holds, we are capable of working through our life challenges. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients embrace their authentic self and discover new paths of healing and growth.

I've been there too, many times and I'm here to support you on your journey. I connect well with adults and adolescents who are exploring their identities and learning to embrace their values. I practice from a person-centered approach which means that getting to know you, your personal experiences, and what feels most important to you right now is what will guide our work together. I look forward to learning more about you and providing a place for you to be your most authentic self. Please schedule a consultation if you have any questions.

Do you ever wonder if you’re anxious because you’re depressed, or are you depressed because you’re anxious? Everywhere you turn, you hear about the importance of self care, but nothing you’ve tried seems to gel into a habit. Besides, how many bath bombs can one person buy before they feel better, right? Humor aside, you don’t have to keep living a life that causes you to suffer. Every human is unique, with unique needs. It is possible to live the life that is right for you.

Hello! My name is Donyell Davis and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas. I earned my Master’s in Social Work with a focus on Services to Children and Families from Our Lady of the Lakes University. I have 14 years of experience in the social work field working with diverse populations. My clients often describe me as empathetic, compassionate, and attentive. I pride myself on being an open-minded lifelong learner with a keen interest in evidence-based practice interventions. I chose to become a therapist because I discovered that blending the heart of a social worker with the professional skill set of an effective therapist profoundly enhances individuals’ quality of life. What sets me apart is my collaborative approach: we embark on this journey together to develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, without rushing the process. I enjoy working through issues that I have personally experienced like being a single parent, losing a spouse and the affects it has on the family system, raising a child with a disability, work-life balance, unhealthy relationships, lack of a support system, absence of a positive role model early in life, navigating life challenges, obtaining personal growth, and communication skills.

My personal background gave me life learned lessons to help understand others. My personal struggles along with my education has given me the strength I feel I need to work in this field. Counseling is an absolute passion I live with every day as this is what gives me purpose. The feeling of being able to help those in need motivates me like nothing else ever could.

Why should you choose ME, over anyone else? That is the burning question. As I sit here and try to think of all the ways to possibly distinguish myself in comparison to my peers and colleagues, one specific thing comes to mind: the exact moment that I knew I wanted to be a therapist. My life’s trials and tribulations have put me in a strangely unique position in regard to understanding and empathizing with much of what is thrown at many of us, and it is because of that, that I found strength in my weaknesses and lowest moments. Readjusting to life after deployments, after the military, after divorce and growing pains and heartache, was a monumentally transitional period of my life, and my therapist bared the brunt of my pain with compassion and grace. In my very last session, I looked him in the eyes and said: “I want to do what you’re doing. I want to help people the way that you’ve helped me. I’ve been on this side of the table – now I want to be on that side.” So, what’re my credentials, expertise, focus and treatment approaches? Credentials: MSW, LICSW (WA), LCSW (HI, TN, TX) Expertise: My background and personal experience of the military and with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) ensure that I have a good handling on trauma and know all too well the burdens of Veterans that come with serving your country during war, as well as in the aftermath. Beyond that, I specialize and have experience with anger management, mood disorders, thought disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, social anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, self-esteem issues. Approaches: I clinically find myself utilizing a psychodynamic approach to therapy with my clients. I believe we are who we are today based on the many influences we had in our lives, especially in those formidable early childhood years. Oftentimes, we can find the source of your current concerns today by processing how you originally developed your core values and beliefs. These roots run deeper than we typically ever realize without therapy. If you choose to work with me, we will naturally dive deeper into what this may mean for you. The path of healing is not an easy road, nor a short one. Doing the work takes gusto, but I believe that you have it inside of you, and I believe that I am the one for the job to aid in your process and growth. I hope to hear from you soon!!! Respectfully, Sean

I believe talk therapy is a power tool. It can heal. It can empower. It can bring about the kind of changes you seek. In order for talk therapy to really work, you must feel connected to and trust the therapist you work with so I encourage you to find the right fit.
