I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I obtained my Master’s of Science Degree in Counseling from The University of Houston, Clear Lake in 2005 and have been professionally licensed for 7 years. I am also a proud, female, United States Military Veteran. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and young adults struggling with a multitude of issues to include depression, anxiety, parenting skills, infidelity, sex addiction, intimacy concerns, suicidal ideation, self harm, grief, PTSD, addiction, abuse, trauma, and ADHD. I have also worked with individuals who are experiencing career challenges or transitions and have a vast amount of knowledge to help individuals prepare for a successful Post Secondary Educational experience.
I have personally faced a number of struggles throughout my life which I successfully overcame and find much joy in teaching skills to help others overcome obstacles. We all need each other to get through life. I would love to work with you to help you resolve whatever problems you are facing and to help you find happiness, peace, and strength.
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. We will start where you are and, together, we will explore new ways of making your life more manageable. To struggle is to be part of the human experience. Struggle can be a motivator for change. Those self-defeating thoughts are not who you are. These life circumstances do not have to define your whole life.
Diana Austin, Licensed professional counselor. I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach focuses on identifying the underlying issues that may interfere with daily functioning and a decrease in motivation and happiness. I address the identification of triggers, learning to challenge negative thoughts, and becoming self-aware with the goal of having a stronger sense of balance in life. Other areas include strengthening communication skills, gaining more self-confidence, and feeling more emotionally connected to self and others.

I'm Jay Varela, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in TEAM-CBT — a structured, evidence-based method developed by Dr. David Burns at Stanford. I hold Level 3 Advanced certification from the Feeling Good Institute and train regularly with the Beck Institute.
Most therapy is open-ended. Mine isn't. I track your symptoms with the Burns Brief Mood Survey before and after every session, so you always know whether therapy is working — and so do I. The data tells us when to keep going, when to change course, and when you're done.
Most clients see significant improvement in 4-6 sessions. OCD typically takes 8-12. I treat anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and relationship problems.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas and also licensed in Colorado, Florida, Idaho, South Carolina, Utah, and Vermont. With more than 34 years of private practice experience, I help adults identify and overcome obstacles that interfere with daily functioning, relationships, personal growth, and achieving meaningful goals.
My approach is practical, structured, and collaborative. I believe trust is the foundation of effective therapy, creating an environment where clients feel comfortable being open, honest, and willing to make lasting change. I also believe that appropriate humor, when used at the right time, can help build connection, reduce anxiety, and provide perspective during life's challenges.
Throughout my career, I have continued to expand my knowledge through professional education, research, and the life experiences that come from working with a diverse range of clients over three decades. I am a lifelong Texan who has traveled extensively and gained an appreciation for different cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences. While I have not lived every situation my clients face, I have experienced many of life's challenges myself, allowing me to offer both professional guidance and genuine understanding. Even when life does not unfold as planned, there is no reason to face those struggles alone.
To ensure clients receive the most appropriate care, my practice is generally not the best fit for individuals whose primary concerns involve major depressive disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder, or other conditions requiring more specialized or intensive treatment. In those situations, I encourage clients to work with clinicians whose practices are specifically focused on those needs.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, Texas, and Nevada, as well as a certified EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. I have experience in helping clients struggling with adjustment issues, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, and self-esteem issues. All appointments are via telehealth in FL, NV and TX, with the option of in-person appointments in NV.
As a Christian, who has experienced trauma that resulted in high anxiety and deep depression, I can relate to your suffering with empathy. As a Christian, who has recovered from trauma, depression, and anxiety, I can relate to your suffering with hope. As a Christian counselor, I can provide you the solutions for resolving your issues and achieving your goals. I have over 20 years of experience providing people with the skills and tools to relieve suffering and discover solutions to their life issues. I integrate Polyvagal Informed Therapy and EMDR in addressing the needs of your mind and body. I use Biblical principles and prayer for spiritual attunement, discernment, and wisdom.
Together, we can significantly reduce your anxiety and depression by identifying and resolving negative experiences from your past. Disturbing life events can create a block that prevents you from processing and healing. When those events are fully processed, the associated emotions dissipate, the event is resolved, and healing occurs naturally.
You will find relief early on by learning how to cope through self regulation techniques. I look forward to walking with you on your healing and spiritual journey. Reach out today.

Hello, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the states of Texas and Tennessee with 30 years of counseling and ministry experience. I began as a minister of the Gospel in the Southern Baptist tradition in 1993 working with the homeless to overcome the struggles of addiction and hopelessness in North Carolina and Tennessee. From there, I became a case manager in a rural oupatient behavioral health clinic helping the chronically mentally ill live independently outside of the institutional settings. As my family of five children grew, my wife encouraged me to join the military in 2007 and for the next 13 years we served alongside our Soldiers and their Families as a chaplain. There, I learned through experience how to work through the stress of multiple transitions, the unyeilding demands for time and energy, and the unjust nature of toxic environments. I learned how to support those who wanted to strengthen themselves and their relationships in these environments and to ultimately be at peace with who they are and who they want to be.
As I have matured in my training and become licensed in marriage and family therapy, I have found that I now specialize in using Solution Focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help individuals identify their strengths and the beliefs that are guiding their behavior. With this knowledge, people can begin to choose who they want to be.
