Therapists serving clients in Pleak, TX

Hello! Welcome! I would like to take this opportunity to share with you a few things about myself and my approach to counseling. My name is Carolyn Fields and I am a Texas-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University, and a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling from LeTourneau University.  I am passionate about life and the innate potential of each person. Counseling is something I chose to pursue because of my love for life and the freedom that comes from health and happiness. I believe that counseling has tremendous potential to make a positive impact in one's life and relationships! Counseling is a process, and when approached with openness, many great things can emerge from this dynamic endeavor. I have experience counseling with and supporting others with varied backgrounds on a wide range of concerns. I have counseled with others in the area of trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, panic, grief/loss, divorce/separation, general life-challenges, personal conflicts/distress and skill-building/development. Counseling is a collaborative journey that aims to bring about desired results. I am happy to explore and discuss your concerns to consider what a counseling journey might look like for you. My theoretical approach to counseling tends toward CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Existential Therapy. I seek to meet people where they are and tailor my approach to each client's individual personality and specific needs. Please note that my services are not intended for those in immediate danger or harm; or those in the midst of emergency circumstances. Please call 911 or local emergency services should you find yourself in danger, or in an emergency situation and in need of help. Thank you for visiting my profile page!

Life is ever changing that we can be sure of! Hello, my name is Jackie and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Anger Resolution Therapist. I have a Masters of Science Degree in Social Work from the University of Texas. I have been helping people for over 20 years navigating through life's changes in the DFW area. Working with older teens and adults deal with depression, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, grief and loss. I have helped families address a range of concerns that revolved around parenting issues, domestic violence, child abuse/neglect, substance abuse, self-esteem, and more. My approach to therapy is client centered. My style is warm and engaging. I believe in the client taking an active part in the direction and depth of their therapeutic process. I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients to their treatment goals including: • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - I assist clients in exploring the dynamic between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns which can lead to mood disorders and self-destructive behaviors. • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - I teach and support clients in these skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation. • Solution-Focused Therapy - brief therapy aimed at focusing on solutions rather than problems. • Rational Emotive Therapy - Challenging irrational beliefs that lead to psychological distress. Self esteem is not static, it is ever changing by the decisions we make each and every day. Do you need help making better decisions, or someone to empower you? I check my messages daily but it may take 2-4 days for me to digest your information and form a well thought out response. I prefer video calls because I get the most successful sessions and more interaction from them, but I will interact using the telecalls and messaging sessions, too. I require the standard 24 hours notice of cancellation of appointments. Thank You, Jackie Parker, LCSW-CART I look forward to working with you!

I am a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with over 11 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. Through my private practice and contract work I have worked with a diverse population of clients with a wide range of issues like emotional and physical trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse , and ADHD. I also help individuals in a life situation in which they are looking for deeper meaning and searching for their life's purpose as their current course feels empty and devoid of direction. Most often a significant event (death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job, trauma, etc.) has motivated them to find their life's passion. I experienced this at age 48 and left a highly lucrative but mundane restaurant management position to pursue a career in which I could genuinely help and serve others through counseling therapy. My counseling approach has continued to evolve through the years as my clients (my greatest teachers) have educated me to listen mindfully and tailor my therapeutic plan to their individual needs. I draw from a variety of modalities including cognitive behavioral. client-centered, solution-focused, reality therapy, and energy therapies including the Emotional Freedom Technique. The course of therapy and treatment plan will be customized to your specific and unique needs. I am a strong proponent of meditation and mindfulness and encourage these if the client shows interest. The fact that you are seeking help shows courage and openness and a desire to change in a meaningful and lasting way that can positively revolutionize and enrich your life. I can assure you that you are worthy of such an endeavor. I have never looked back or regretted any changes that I have undertaken since joining the counseling profession and I would be honored to be your therapist and help you transcend your issues! I look forward to assist you on your healing journey! Thank you!

I am a Doctor of Behavioral Health, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I am licensed to practice in Texas and Colorado. I have worked with clients suffering from stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and those struggling to cope with life changes. I have experience working with severely mentally ill patients in a psychiatric emergency treatment center and a community behavioral health clinic. I have spent the majority of my time, however, in private practice. My clients range in age from 13 to 99! I enjoy helping people from all walks of life. Many people come to me because they are suffering from anxiety. It seems like COVID really pushed a lot of people over the edge, especially those who were already struggling with relationships or mental health issues. Panic attacks, depression, sleep disorders, and mood swings are common issues I see in clients. A lot of moms used to have a glass of wine at night and now many are admitting to needing a whole bottle! Many people tell me they feel fearful of things that are happening in the world and do not know how to cope with feeling out of control. Others tell me that they are struggling financially or dealing with health issues. I have had many teens tell me that they feel suicidal and hopeless. I have also seen an increase in those struggling with gender dysphoria and relationship issues. A lot of my older clients are sad about the world they will be leaving to their children. I understand and empathize with all of these situations! From OCD to PTSD, there really isn't much that I haven't encountered as a therapist. Veterans, homeless, addicts, abusers, victims, parents, children, CEOs, athletes, cancer patients, EMS workers, young and old, rich and poor... you name it...I have worked with people from all walks of life. What I can say is that I bring the same level of compassionate care to everyone I encounter. There is no judgment. It is humbling to realize that for many people, I am the one person they feel safe confiding in, and I take that trust very seriously. Regardless of the issues and their severity, I work closely with every client to help find solutions that make life more manageable and enjoyable. I believe that every person needs a toolbox that is full of ideas and strategies for coping with the stressors of life. As the saying goes, if all you have is a hammer, then everything will look like a nail. There are plenty of other tools out there, and when you own them, it is so empowering! Soon, you will be building and creating the life that you want for yourself! You are unique, valuable, and worthy of healthy relationships, happiness, and love. I believe that you are the expert of your life and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey!
