Therapist

Virtual • Mansfield, TX


I believe healing begins when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that combines evidence-based therapy with a genuine, collaborative relationship.

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, stress, and family conflict. I also enjoy helping clients overcome people-pleasing, establish healthy boundaries, improve communication, and process difficult life experiences that continue to impact the present.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 19 years working in public education, helping children, teens, and families navigate emotional challenges, strengthen communication, build resilience, and develop practical coping skills. That experience continues to shape my approach by meeting clients where they are and focusing on their unique strengths.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Danielle, and I'm so glad you're here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Houston, Texas. I believe in the power of therapy, and I know that taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming. I want you to know that you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

My goal is to create an open, supportive, safe, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and understood. Together, we'll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck while developing practical tools to help you manage anxiety, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults develop a healthier relationship with themselves, food, and the people in their lives. I believe healing begins with self-compassion, understanding, and connection. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, emotional eating, body image, relationship challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, we'll work together to help you reconnect with your strengths, find balance, and move toward the life you want to live.

I’ve spent my career supporting people through some of their hardest moments—crisis units, inpatient care, disability rehabilitation, and corporate healthcare. Being a foster parent gave me a firsthand view of how families cope under intense strain. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I specialize in the mental‐health impact of chronic illness, disability, and identity shifts. I believe people are more resilient than they realize, and the right support helps them access it.

I'm a therapist, a mom, and someone who genuinely loves the community I live in. Outside of my practice, you'll find me at local events, volunteering, and spending time with my family. That grounding shapes how I show up in session: warm, real, and without judgment. I work with people navigating anxiety, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, grief, anger, stress, questions of identity, and relationship struggles. Whatever you bring in, my goal is for you to feel heard and taken seriously.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I believe that healing and growth happen within a trusting therapeutic relationship. Clients often describe me as compassionate, approachable, and genuine. I strive to create an environment where you feel safe to share openly, ask questions, and explore difficult emotions without fear of judgment.

While I offer support and validation, I also believe in helping clients challenge patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may no longer be serving them. Therapy is not about being "fixed"; it's about understanding yourself more deeply, developing effective coping skills, and creating a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Abilene

Searching for therapists in Abilene starts with finding someone whose training and focus match what you want support with. Therapists and counselors may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties listed in each therapist’s profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience supporting people through major life changes. These details can help you understand whether a therapist’s approach fits your needs before you book.

In a smaller city like Abilene, local appointment options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual appointments for easier scheduling. As you narrow your options, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they communicate, structure sessions, and describe their approach to care.

Therapy in Abilene can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapist profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
