Celinda Barron

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hello, my name is Celinda Barron, and have been licensed as a Professional Counselor since 2019. I have a Masters of Arts in Guidance and Counseling. As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and family issues. I offer affirming and inclusive care for gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals, and I am deeply committed to creating a safe and supportive space for exploring identity, relationships, and life transitions.

My work also includes helping clients process and heal from grief, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I understand how complex and personal each journey is, and I strive to meet each person with empathy, respect, and authenticity.

Therapeutic Approach

I use a collaborative, evidence-based approach tailored to your needs and goals. My practice draws from:

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) – to help explore ambivalence and build motivation for change
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors
  • Humanistic Therapy – to foster self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional healing
  • Behavioral Management Therapy – to develop practical strategies for daily challenges, particularly with ADHD and behavioral concerns

Whether you're facing internal struggles, interpersonal difficulties, or identity-related stress, I am here to walk with you—offering guidance, skills, and support every step of the way.

Sasheen Nicholas

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Sasheen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a unique background in both mental health and nursing. Since 2022, I’ve worked with individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and complex stressors. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you — not one-size-fits-all.

I earned my Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Substance Misuse from University of Texas at Arlington, and I’ve also been a Licensed Vocational Nurse since 2012. With over a decade of healthcare experience, I bring a holistic perspective to therapy — understanding both the emotional and physical aspects of well-being.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My approach is compassionate, direct, and solution-focused, with a strong foundation in trauma-informed care. I work collaboratively with clients to understand not only what they're experiencing today, but also how past experiences may be shaping their present. Whether you're navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, addiction, or major life transitions, I strive to create a safe, confidential space where you can explore difficult emotions, develop practical coping skills, and move toward lasting change. My goal is to help you build resilience, gain insight, and leave each session feeling supported, empowered, and hopeful.
