I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with the state of Texas, USA. I have training and experience in counseling for over 8 years. I accept only clients who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems with my assistance. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are capable of finding peace and contentment in their lives. However, self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that take time to achieve. Sometimes this may require months or even years. If counseling is successful, you should feel that you are able to face life’s challenges without my support or intervention. However, please be aware that neither I nor any counselor can guarantee that counseling will be successful. Your greatest asset in counseling will be you; the open, honest, real you.
If you have any questions or concerns at any point about anything, talk to me. If I do not know the answer, we will work to find it together. Again, authentic communication is welcomed and desired here. Are you ready to get the life you want?

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.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have particular experience and training in understanding individuals in the context of their relationships, families, and social identities. Sometimes our distress isn't just about what we're doing or not doing. Oftentimes, it's about how we move through the world in our social identities and how the world perceives and interacts with us so I want you to be able to talk about that in therapy.
I can relate and find it meaningful to work with individuals suffering from anxiety. Anxiety can be crippling and paralyzing, causing us to overthink which can get in the way of so many things in life from accomplishing goals, trying new things, socializing, sleeping or even smaller things that add up until you're overwhelmed with them, like answering the phone or checking your mail.
If you're feeling misunderstood, like you can't be yourself, anxious, worried, or trapped in repeating patterns that are causing you pain, I will join you where you are and we can work together to help you create a secure sense of self, and restore and improve relationships.

Since 2012, I’ve helped my clients in the US and India break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life's too short to be u.
We all, to some extent, believe that "life is not fair" I think it too. I firmly believe life comes in many shades, and we can enjoy every shade of life with the right amount of understanding and acceptance.
I have experience working with children, young adults, individuals, families, couples, college students, culturally diverse communities.

Houston, TX - Accepting clients in TX
Hi, I'm Steal, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I provide therapy to clients residing in Texas and have served clients of all ages for several years, specifically for anxiety, trauma, insomnia, OCD, grief, depression, and challenges faced in relationships (i.e. break ups, conflicts, divorce, parenting). I have done this through individual therapy, couples therapy, marriage counseling, family therapy, and play therapy. My training and experience includes utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), Play Therapy, and Sandtray Therapy.
My background is in psychology research (I co-authored two research articles published in scientific journals, one on anxiety sensitivity and caffeine, the other on mental health effects of COVID), I presented anxiety and caffeine research in Denver, CO at the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) Conference, and have studied philosophy extensively in college and on my own (particularly in the fields of consciousness, existentialism, and ethics). I occasionally peer review psychology manuscripts in my spare time, partly to keep my mind sharp and partly to continue building a healthy practice of skepticism. I have also administered psychological tests for intelligence, ADHD, autism, and personality. My experience also includes years of suicide risk assessment and safety planning.
Some more personal things about me are that I am constantly seeking learning through research, reading, and various forms of study in topics ranging from quantum physics to philosophy. I love finding out more things about the world and about the second most important thing I love doing, is watching movies. I love digging deep into movies no one has ever heard of, to explore the unknown.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker currently residing in Texas. I have over 12 years of experience working in mental health and within the last year I have obtained my Doctorate in Behavioral Health. I help clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and trauma amongst other diagnoses. I am also a Christian and when clients decide that they prefer Christian counseling, I am able to provide those services as well. I believe that each individual is different and therefore, the approach should be tailored to suit that individual.

If so, I believe that we can work together to overcome the obstacles, the deal with the difficulties and create new habits that will be more beneficial for you.
