Life can look perfectly fine on the outside while feeling overwhelming underneath. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're feeling stuck, constantly overthinking, burned out, or repeating patterns you can't seem to break, therapy can be a place to finally make sense of what's going on.

I bring curiosity, honesty, and practical insight into every session. Rather than giving generic advice or simply asking, "How does that make you feel?" we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck, identify what's actually changeable, and build strategies that fit your life. I'll challenge you when it's helpful, support you when it's needed, and create a space where you can be completely yourself without worrying about being judged or getting it "right."

I know that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re carrying a lot on your own. I believe deeply in the strength, warmth, and resilience that come from our cultura, and I bring that understanding into every session.

I work with clients who want support navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions, particularly when cultural identity and family dynamics play an important role. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood, while also using research-backed tools that truly help you move forward.

Spanish-speaking kids and teens often can't find a therapist who speaks their language — literally or culturally. Jodie is bilingual in English and Spanish and bicultural, and she works specifically with children and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, family stress, relationship challenges, and the pressures of growing up. Her background in both alternative and traditional school settings means she understands what teens are actually dealing with week to week, not just what they bring into a therapy room.

Lorenza Kondo

Lorenza Kondo

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience, dedicated to helping individuals find balance, clarity, and confidence in their lives. I primarily work with women who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in cycles that no longer serve them—whether in relationships, career, or how they view themselves. Many of my clients are navigating the emotional impact of life transitions like menopause, body changes, and weight management, often in silence and without support.

As a trilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (Portuguese, Spanish, English), I offer a compassionate and culturally sensitive space. I understand how culture, language, and generational expectations can shape the way we experience mental health, body image, and self-worth.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Friendswood, TX

Searching for therapists in Friendswood starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods that fit what you are looking for.

Friendswood is a smaller market, so local in-office therapist options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care with a therapist licensed in Texas. Some people prefer an in-office therapist near them, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience.

Therapy in Friendswood can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and schedule directly with therapists who are accepting new clients. You can browse therapists in Friendswood, review profiles, and book when you are ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
