Therapists in Texas

Hi! I am a licensed counselor based in Austin, Texas. My style is friendly, focused, and down-to-earth. I aim to be helpful with each individual I work with, and take pride in designing a therapy that will really work for you. I’ve trained in a variety of approaches and find that virtually all approaches offer something valuable. However, I believe the classic fundamentals of therapy - empathy and a good collaborative therapeutic relationship - are the primary basis for effective therapy and therefore I put a lot of effort into these. One of my views about life is that it is often asking for various forms of balance: Balancing kindness and strength, tenderness and toughness, openness and clarity, relaxation and alertness. And so in therapy, I always strive to create the right balance for you of supportiveness and challenge. And, I invite and encourage your candid feedback about the process (and by candid I mean candid - really!) so I can make appropriate adjustments. Therapy, like life, can be a wonderful adventure and I’m glad for the opportunity to support you in the journey. *** Education: St. Edwards University, Masters in Counseling, 2012.

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring nearly two decades of professional experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.

Drawing from a Christian perspective, I offer a holistic approach that honors each person's spiritual and emotional well-being. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can explore self-love, overcome shame, develop healthier relationships, and rediscover their sense of purpose and connection.

My name is Gina Cardines and I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida for 7 years and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas for 3 years. With a total of over 20 years experience in the mental health field and 7 years as a licensed therapist, I have experience in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, substance abuse, and PTSD. I also have experience working with survivors of Intimate Partner Violence, human trafficking, and other trauma, including those who have served in the military. During sessions, you can expect honesty and unconditional positive regard, with no need to worry about monitoring expressions of self, feelings, language, or reactions. Though I have a base in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I tailor each session to meet the needs of the client, and utilize an eclectic approach with multiple modalities and interventions to create a safe space, free from judgment, to put each client at ease and help clients to engender genuine change in their lives. I look forward to walking with you on your journey. I am able to see clients in both Florida and Texas, and I am available for video, phone, and chat sessions.

Greetings. I am a professional counselor with over 18 years experience working in the areas of grief, trauma, anticipatory grief, caregiver stress, end of life issues, depression, life changes, stress, and chronic illness. I am certified as a grief counselor (GC-C) and as a grief counselor specializing in children and adolescents (GCCA-C). I am committed to assisting you with identifying the changes you want in your life and then exploring different strategies to help you achieve your goals. I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic. I work with the individual to find the approach that best meets their needs and work to provide the tools that are needed to effect change and promote growth. Finally, I view the therapeutic alliance as a partnership requiring mutual trust, respect, honesty, communication, and commitment to do the work. Hopefully, what I have shared here will help you choose a therapist that best meets your needs. Should you choose me, I look forward to our journey together.

What I enjoy most about being a therapist is that each session is a collaborative effort in which both the client and therapist leaves the session with learning experiences that contributes to discovery and growth. Life is about living, learning, loving, and liberating. I believe that all experiences (good, bad, ugly) are for the purpose of learning and letting go of thoughts, feelings, and actions that no longer serve us or others well. Therapy is one of the best ways to explore what needs to be learned and let go so a sense of worth and purpose can be fully realized and experienced. I am a licensed professional counselor working in the state of Texas for over nine years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma, psychosis, addiction, low self worth, and shame issues that have impacted their ability to thrive in relationships with self and others from a place of self-worth, self-confidence, and self-compassion. My therapy style is compassionate, caring, and person-centered. I seek to create an environment free of shaming, blaming, and judging of self and others to promote connectivity, collaboration, courage, creativity, and confidence in self and others. My approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral approaches that include internal family systems and dialectical behavioral therapy. If you are ready to let go of the burden and chaos that has kept you feeling stuck, unable to find yourself staying in the present moment and lacking in calm, contentment, clarity, courage, and creativity, then I would be grateful for the opportunity to guide you in healing those parts of you seeking liberation from that which no longer serve you well. Give yourself the gift of knowing you are safe, protected, blessed, and loved. I look forward to working with you!

I believe strongly in the resiliency of the human spirit and, as a therapist, I look for ways to build upon the unique strengths each person or couple brings into the counseling office. It is essential that clients feel accepted and understood and begin to experience freedom from guilt and shame. Guilt is resolved through forgiveness and shame through self-acceptance. I always feel humbled by the courage my clients exhibit as they share their deepest struggles and honored for the trust they give to me. For several years I worked as a therapist in a psychiatric hospital in Houston gaining thousands of hours of experience in counseling individuals, families, and groups. Therefore, I am very familiar with the problems of depression, anxiety, chemical dependency, and mood problems such as bipolar disorder. I have completed Level 3 of the Gottman method in couples therapy and have found it to be an excellent approach in fostering that emotional connection which is essential to a satisfying and loving relationship.

Hi, I’m Stacie — a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I became a therapist after a lifelong journey of living with and overcoming chronic illness and pain. That experience gave me deep empathy for others navigating similar challenges — the physical pain, emotional toll, and often invisible weight that can come with it. I’m passionate about supporting individuals who live with chronic pain, disabilities, and long-term health conditions, as well as those facing substance use challenges, anxiety, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients find hope, self-compassion, and practical ways to cope — even when life feels heavy or uncertain. I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. In sessions, I can integrate creative expression and simple art-based techniques (like card making) to help clients process emotions and find calm. Whether we’re working through trauma, loss, or daily stressors, I strive to create a space that’s safe, genuine, and empowering. If you’re ready to move toward healing — at your own pace and with someone who truly understands the ups and downs of the journey — I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
