Greetings! Sometimes life's challenges will prompt us to seek support and you've come to the right place. Kudos to you for taking the first step in getting the support you are seeking. I have a master's degree in School and Professional Counseling from Amberton University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. As a School Counselor I have refined my skills in working with adolescents from diverse backgrounds. I have over seventeen years working with high school students and adults. I have worked with individuals with anxiety, suicidal thoughts, low self esteem, lack of motivation and significant trauma. My therapeutic style is future-focused, goal-directed and focuses on solutions rather than on the problems. My assumption is that you have knowledge of what would make your life better and together we will work on solutions. My approach is collaborative, in order to achieve change. As a therapist/counselor, I am very open and you can tell me anything in a non judmental environment. I am here if you need to feel understood and you want the truth. If this is what you are looking for, you have come to the right place.

“Wisdom, with nothing to hide, is available to everyone…being found in the most prominent of public places.” Hi! I’m Erin. I have been practicing in the field of Psychology and behavior health for almost 10 years. I completed my BA in Psychology (minor in Sociology) at The University of Memphis and my MA in Counseling Psychology (concentration in Trauma & Crisis) at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I often tell people that this field chose me. I have always had a strong interest in the human mind and human behavior. Always had the question of “why” when it came to our perceptions throughout this human experience. I still search for the universal law behind everything I see. I have a strong passion for working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and everyday life stressors. I also enjoy working youth (14-18) who are facing issues with their social-emotional skill development and behavior management. My background and experience include Individual therapy, Foster Care, Trauma & Crisis Response with inpatient and outpatient settings, ABA Therapy in Autism Day Programs for youth, Neurofeedback and FASD, and Youth Residential facilities. The client is the expert of their lives. So, I often use approaches that are all about you: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing & Mindfulness. I firmly believe that the therapeutic process should be collaborative and holistic. You are important and you can be the author in creating the life you want to live.

Finding a licensed therapist near you in Texas can be an important step toward improving your mental health and overall well-being. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes, working with a qualified mental health professional can offer meaningful support.

Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities. Online therapy makes it easier to connect with a therapist near you without being limited to nearby offices. BetterHelp connects you with licensed therapists authorized to practice in Texas, allowing you to attend sessions online from the comfort of your home.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you ensures that your provider meets state licensing requirements and professional standards in Texas (TX). Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage emotional challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals.

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?

Therapists on BetterHelp support adults across Texas with a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges, including:

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Texas
