Greetings Beloved Clients!
I am Pam C. Lyons, a Certified Professional Coach and Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor for 15 years, and 20 plus years of life experience. I understand what it means to reinvent and rebuild my life several times as a Hurricane Katrina Survivor and as a businesswoman.
My practice serves as a safe place to the Texas community and a beacon of light. The slogan “Reinvent the World” was inspired by all the shared traumatic experiences going on in the world due to Covid 19, increase in mental and physical health problems, racism, toxic politics, lack of safety for our children, poverty, economic challenges, women not receiving equal pay, women rights being infringed upon, and survivors of natural disasters. We need a space to express our traumatic experiences safely, to be listened to and understood with empathy and compassion, and to receive coping tools to become the best version of ourselves so we can create a better world for our future generations.

The best part of being a licensed professional counselor in Texas is the opportunity I've had over the years to help lots of folks deal with tough problems like anger, stress, social anxiety, cheating in relationships, as well as struggles with sex and porn addiction. My goal is to help you find your inner strength, bounce back from hard times, and build better relationships.
Are you getting angry more often and have trouble getting along with coworkers? Do you feel tired all the time, so you don't seem to enjoy things like you did before, and now spend more time alone? Are you and your spouse fighting a lot and thinking about divorce? Do you do things that seem like a quick fix but don’t really make life better? Maybe you just want to relax more, lower your stress, and feel healthier?
No matter what’s going on in your life, choosing online therapy shows that you want to feel better and understand yourself more. Also, online therapy makes it easy to get the support you need on your schedule in the comfort and safety of your home.

A little bit about how I approach therapy. In creating an alliance with a new client, I adopt a stance of listening and confronting situations non-judgmentally and with compassion, acknowledging that this work is about you, and your life's goals and struggles. My practice is built around partnership with my clients, working hard to establish and maintain this therapeutic alliance. I do this by taking cues of direction, pace and depth from the people with whom I work, and allowing for immediacy to inform what is and is not working.

Killeen, TX - Accepting clients in TX
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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in central Texas. I believe that we are all beings who want healing in all aspects of our life: physical, emotional, social and spiritual.
The differences between the emotional health we have and the health we want can create tension between our current situation and our self image and power. Often, we don't know how to make lasting changes. That change struggle can be too difficult to face without strong support and the realization someone understands, supports and affirms your ability to learn new coping skills.
My counseling approach is educational, and we begin with where you are emotionally now. I value treating everyone with respect and kindness. We move at your pace. I will assign homework if you want to move more quickly.

Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile. My name is Libby, and I'm a licensed (in Wisconsin & Texas) Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults representing some of the most vulnerable populations. Preference for individual/adults.
As a Black female therapist, and on my mental wellness journey, I recognize the huge stigma connected to addressing mental health treatment in Black and Brown communities. Several barriers contribute to the gap in mental health care, including a lack of cultural representation among providers, an overwhelming sense of fear of sharing personal history with a stranger and being stigmatized by family or friends. The biggest obstacle is silence!
Unfortunately, many are suffering alone, giving way to unhealthy generational patterns, like anxiety, depression, and PTSD (to name a few). My goal is to interrupt these negative patterns by creating space for healing and rewriting your story.

My passion is to help individuals live their best lives. Drawing from my own experiences of overcoming unexpected and life-altering challenges, I recognize that such times can feel incredibly daunting. However, through awareness, courage, and the right skills, we can collaborate to navigate those seemingly hopeless situations.

I'm thrilled to let you know that I'm certified for telehealth sessions, making it even more convenient for you.
When I am not working, I enjoy cooking, traveling, spending quality time with my family, and engaging in some self-care. Plus, I'm currently on an exciting journey toward obtaining my Doctorate in Professional Counseling.
It is truly an honor and a humbling experience for me to offer therapy to those who are going through difficult times and striving for wellness. My life's passion is dedicated to bringing healing and wholeness to individuals, couples, and families. Let's work together towards a path of growth and well-being!

Fort Worth, TX - Accepting clients in TX
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas. I attended the University of Texas at Arlington where I received my Master's in Social Work and Bachelor's in Communication. I've been a social worker for six years and previously worked in leadership at a non-profit domestic violence (DV) agency. Before becoming a counselor, I was a journalist who reported on crime and public health issues. The hardest part of my job was interviewing people who had just lost a loved one. The work I did with them is what gave me the final push to pursue my dreams of becoming a counselor.
In my capacity as a social worker, I have worked with survivors of DV, perpetrators of DV, survivors of sexual abuse, and survivors of family violence. I testify as an expert witness in domestic violence cases and provide training in the community. I am experienced in working with clients who have depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and substance use disorders. I am passionate about helping others find peace and purpose by working through their pain.
