I’ve spent my life confined to a wheelchair, so I believe I have a unique understanding of just how challenging life can be and the strength it takes to ask for help. Whatever your struggles, I believe the first step to helping you overcome them is to build a connection with you based on commonly shared thoughts, feelings, and actions impacting how we feel, how we relate to others, and how we achieve our goals. Once you and I have identified any unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and actions standing in your way, we will work together on a plan to help you succeed by giving you the skills, confidence, and belief that your emotional well-being doesn’t depend on others or events you can’t control. While pursuing my Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of West Florida and licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I have gained 12 + years of clinical experience helping adults, teens, children, and families heal from a variety of emotional wounds to include: PTSD, grief and loss, intimate partner violence, physical, sexual, emotional abuse, and neglect. I have worked with veterans, people dealing with substance dependence, homelessness, and chronic health problems. In sum, my approach is not to make you relive the past, but to help you recognize--and ultimately, change--the core hurtful beliefs and actions fueling your current anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem and relationship conflicts. I am ready to listen when you share, sit in silence when you need it, and best of all, cheer on your successes!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing for about 6 years. I have experience working in various environments such as school settings, therapeutic foster care homes, mental health hospitals (inpatient and outpatient), rehabilitation facilities, and outpatient settings. I have had the opportunity to help individuals that have challenges with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, trauma, etc. I believe in holistic treatment and that taking care of your whole being (mind, body, and soul) is important to living a better quality of life. My approach combines with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systemic, Solution-focused, Psychodynamic, and Structural Therapy. It is my desire to meet you where you are and help you reach your goals. Addressing mental health issues can be new and challenging for many people.

I consider it an honor to help you along this journey and look forward to serving you.

I am Leeann Mickel, I have a masters degree in educational psychology with an emphasis on community counseling. I have my LPC, licensed professional counselor Masters level. I also have an LC DC licensed chemical dependency counselor. I have worked 20 + years in the field of service. I have had great success with clients who have experienced significant trauma. I have been Clinical Supervisor for a substance abuse residential setting. I am currently Clinical Director for the agency with whom I am employed at this time. I believe it to be my mission helping and serving. My approach is client centered we start where you are. I am very laid-back and personable, I have forever been told how easy it is to talk to me, even prior to my chosen career! That’s a plus when you’re a therapist! I have some clients who simply need an ear and guidance. Others are eager to get to the cause of what prompted them to reach out. Either is great. I understand that some people need to vent and receive professional advice. I tell all of my clients you have inside you now everything you need to heal and progress. My job is to guide you on the journey in this process of self discovery and healing. I also tell my clients that I will work just as hard as you in doing this, but I will never work harder. This would cause more harm by handicapping them if others around never allow my clients to learn through experience, and rob my client of demonstrating to themselves the opportunity to see how capable they actually are. I have worked with many populations: adolescents, adults with variety of disorders/conditions. Such as mental health diagnosis like depression, bi polar, anxiety, and PTSD. For the last six years I have led our adolescent program. I'm very familiar with self harming behaviors, and have a knack of being able to reach them and slowly process into self love. I also have extensive experience with grief which may look different and feel different among different clients. Even those who believe that have mourned and grieved, but truly have not. I look forward to working with you and helping you along your specific path. My schedule is very flexible, as a I only work from home, virtually/remote. During therapy it will be common to give 'experiments' following a session. The purpose for this is taking from our sessions and applying what you learn to your 'real life' outside of one session weekly for an hour.

Hello and welcome, I would be honored to walk with you along your journey. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps. You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns of overthinking, or struggling to cope with life changes and relationship stress. Many of the individuals I work with are used to being the strong one. They are often the person others rely on, yet behind the scenes they may be struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, self-doubt, trauma, or the pressure of carrying so much for so long. Over time, constantly pushing through can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure of how to move forward. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, self-esteem concerns, communication difficulties, boundary-setting challenges, and emotional burnout. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as you are without fear of judgment while gaining practical tools, deeper insight, and healthier ways of coping with life's challenges. Together, we will work toward helping you feel more balanced, confident, and connected to the life you want to build. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply know that something needs to change, I would be honored to support you on your journey. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating ongoing mental health concerns, while others want guidance during stressful periods or major life transitions. You do not need a mental health diagnosis to work with a therapist. Many individuals seek therapy to improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage stress, or gain greater self-awareness.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?
