Couples therapists in Garland, TX

Hi! I’m Jennifer Wilson. I’ve been a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) for over 15 years. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin.

I believe the heart of effective therapy is a genuine human connection. I am Gottman and EMDR trained and have certifications in several other modalities, but above technique, I believe in safe, authentic and agile connection to find healing.

I’m passionate about helping people who often feel misunderstood or overlooked — especially those navigating substance use and mental health challenges. Over the years, I’ve seen how stigma can prevent people from seeking help, and I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I began my professional career as an engineer before transitioning into mental health work, driven by a deep desire to help people navigate change, build insight, and feel more at ease with themselves.

With decades of experience, I am well-versed in many different modalities. No one approach works for everyone, so I built a large tool kit to have a broad range of tools available. Areas of expertise include individual, couples and family counseling, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, special needs of gifted and talented, medical social work, impact of illness, traumatic brain injury, grief and bereavement, positive aging, geriatrics and end of life issues. Having been raised in a military family I enjoy working with our veterans, active duty personnel and their families.

I offer a compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming space where you can show up as you are. I specialize in working with adults with ADHD and autism, including folks exploring late-in-life diagnosis, self-identification, or simply trying to understand themselves better. I’m also training in Gottman Method couples counseling and have extensive experience supporting polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships, so relationship work here is inclusive, practical, and judgment-free.

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.

It’s so nice to meet you. I believe that taking care of your mental health is an important part of living a balanced and fulfilling life. As a licensed professional counselor, I’ve spent years helping children, teens, and adults work through challenges like depression, anxiety, and everyday stress. My goal is to create a warm and supportive space where you can feel comfortable, understood, and ready to take steps toward feeling better.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist who will work to help you feel truly heard and understood. I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can show up just as you are—no pressure, no judgement. I am ready to walk with you on your journey. Together we will work toward greater peace and balance in your life.

I am a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, working in private practice, school settings, and inpatient hospitals settings along with lived experience in adoption, cancer, infertility, and blended family.
