Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Buda, TX

I’m Karen Moore, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Social Worker with more than 25 years of combined experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through healing, growth, and meaningful change. My work blends decades of social‐work practice with clinical counseling expertise, giving me a deep understanding of how life experiences, relationships, and environments shape emotional wellness.

My approach is warm, affirming, and empowering. I create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment—and explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences that matter most. I specialize in trauma‐informed care and use evidence‐based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Trauma‐Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Problem‐Solving Therapy. Together, we’ll build practical tools that help you navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions with greater clarity and confidence.

In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding your story, identifying your strengths, and clarifying your goals. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, insight, and strategies that help you feel grounded, capable, and connected to your own resilience.

If you’re looking for a therapist who brings compassion, experience, and a steady presence to the work, I’d be honored to support you on your healing journey.

My name is Vivian Osemene, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I provide compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma related disorders, and other psychiatric conditions.

I completed my psychiatric mental health training at Walden University and have experience working with diverse populations across the lifespan, including individuals with complex psychiatric and developmental needs. My clinical approach focuses on thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, and individualized treatment planning.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

Have you been through something so painful that it feels too heavy to carry on your own? Hi, I’m Manuela Aguilar, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming life experiences. Many of the folks I see are healing from domestic violence, sexual assault, or other deeply distressing events and are looking for a safe place to feel like themselves again.

Sometimes life looks fine from the outside, while inside you're carrying far more than anyone realizes. You may be juggling work, relationships, parenting, or constant responsibilities while wondering why everything feels harder than it should. You don't have to keep carrying it all on your own.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent many years in education helping people recognize strengths they often couldn't see in themselves. That experience continues to shape the way I approach therapy today. I believe people are incredibly resilient. With the right support, meaningful change is possible. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling to focus because of ADHD, navigating a difficult relationship, processing trauma, or adjusting to a major life transition, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and more like yourself again.
