I am Doris Gardner-Wilson, LCSW, LCDC, CSAT, a Texas-licensed therapist with over 14 years of experience. I specialize in complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. As an EMDR-trained clinician and certified sex addiction therapist, I work with individuals, partners, and survivors of narcissistic abuse. I provide a safe, judgment-free space to help you break free from limiting patterns. It takes courage to take the first steps toward a happier life, and I’m here to empower your healing journey. Search Dee Gardner on YouTube for more resources.
What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.
I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6+ years of experience helping adults navigate stress, trauma, and life transitions. I work with individuals who are ready to move beyond feeling stuck and build a clearer, more balanced path forward.
My name is Bradley Smith, and I’m a therapist who believes that meaningful change begins with feeling understood. I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the everyday pressures that can make life feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and heard without judgment.
I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not sure where to start. I approach each client with curiosity, empathy, and respect for their unique experiences. Everyone’s story is different, and I believe therapy should reflect that. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels comfortable while focusing on what matters most to you.

I have nearly 20 years of experience helping people find answers to the difficulties they face. I believe you are the expert as it relates to your symptoms and your life experiences. My role is to collaborate with you, offer guidance and insight, and work together with you toward your goals. Ultimately, I feel it is most important that there is a strong rapport between you and me, and that you feel comfortable in an easygoing, non-judgmental atmosphere.

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.
