Grief counselors and therapists in Lubbock, TX

With over 20 years as a counselor in an education setting and over 5 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more. I recently retired from my education profession and now devote all my time to my therapy practice. My goal is to build a genuine connection and be someone you feel comfortable turning to as you move toward the life you want.

Something happened to you, and it is still with you. Maybe it shows up in your sleep, or in your body, or in the way you brace for things that have not happened yet. Maybe you have carried it long enough that you have stopped expecting it to change. I'm Lacresa, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and helping adults heal from trauma and PTSD is the center of my work. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling and Development from Lamar University, and I work with adults ages 18 and older. What I offer is a safe, welcoming, and open-minded space where you can tell me what happened without managing my reaction to it and without any fear of being judged for it. I'm passionate about partnering with people who are ready to process difficult experiences and make meaningful changes, and I want to be clear that ready does not have to mean certain. Most people arrive unsure. Wanting something to be different is enough to start. Trauma has a way of convincing you that you are the exception to everything, including help. You are not.

Double board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in depression, ADHD, women’s mental health concerns, and the unique pressures faced by high-functioning professionals and students. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and nonjudgmental.

One of my greatest passions is working with individuals and families to address hurts and impasses: being both witness and participant.

I view each person within the context of their relationships and family-of-origin. Whatever you are currently struggling with did not start with you. I take a very systemic approach and work with you to not only have a better relationship with yourself, but others. For those suffering with trauma, I am trained in EMDR and promise that you can find relief.

I am a seasoned clinician who loves to help others grow.

I am Donna Stribling, and I have worked in health and mental health settings for most of my career, with a primary focus on inpatient medical care and outpatient mental health. I value this work because it allows me to connect with people, listen to their experiences, and support them as they work toward meaningful goals. I want my clients to feel welcomed, respected, and encouraged as they begin their healing journey. I believe my work is a ministry.

20 Years of experience and 35 years of recovery experience in substance use and trauma work.

I am a compassionate cognitive behavioral therapist with over 20 years in the field. I will meet you were you are to help you create individualized change to get you to your next level goals for a happier, healthier, safer, and prosperous you.

People say I am a good listener so I will get to know you and the goals you bring to therapy

I bring both clinical depth and genuine warmth to every therapeutic relationship. I earned my Master's in Counseling from St. Mary's University and have spent my career walking alongside adults navigating some of life's most challenging moments — anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, women's issues, and so much more. As a Hispanic woman, I understand firsthand the importance of feeling truly seen and understood by your therapist, and I am committed to creating a space where your full identity is honored and welcomed. I work with adults across Texas, and if any of this resonates, I would love to connect. Reaching out is the hardest step, and I will meet you with the same warmth I bring to every session.

I care about my clients and have several years of experience providing solutions.
