I’m a licensed clinical social worker based in Texas who cares deeply about the healing work of therapy. Life’s hardships and past hurts can take a real toll, and I’m here to support you as you begin moving toward healing and wholeness.
Hi, I'm Brittany — a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience helping adults navigate some of life's hardest chapters. I believe every person deserves care that's as unique as they are. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, unresolved trauma, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship or family conflict. My approach draws on evidence-based tools — including DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused techniques — woven together with a genuine belief in your capacity to grow. I hold a Master's degree in Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida and went on to practice therapy in three different states where I’ve worked with people from many different walks of life and cultural backgrounds. I offer telehealth sessions, so you can access quality care from wherever you feel most comfortable. Let me help you make the changes that you want to see!
I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where individuals, couples, and families can heal, grow, and thrive. Together, we’ll build on your strengths using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs.
I’m Lorin Samuels, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also have experience helping clients navigate more complex mental health concerns and significant emotional or mood-related challenges.
I believe therapy should feel safe, accepting, and personalized to you. Whether you’re struggling with something from your past, feeling overwhelmed, navigating a relationship, or simply know that something needs to change, I’ll take the time to understand your experiences and what matters most to you.
My goal is to help you feel understood, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that create meaningful change in your everyday life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Austin
Finding couples therapists in Austin starts with understanding what you want to work on together. Austin couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not all therapists have specific training in couples counseling, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list couples-focused approaches such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles.
Austin has a large mental health care market, with therapists across areas like downtown Austin, South Congress, North Austin, and nearby communities. Having many options can make the search harder for two people with different schedules, location needs, and preferences. Some couples prefer in-person sessions near work or home, while others choose virtual appointments to make shared scheduling easier. As you compare Austin marriage counseling options, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, availability, session structure, and whether they offer a brief consultation to assess fit.
Couples therapy in Austin can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for couples counseling in Austin by insurance, availability, specialty, and appointment format. You can review therapist profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients, making it easier to find relationship counseling that matches your needs and your plan.
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.
