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.

Therapist

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.

You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you - carrying anxiety, stress, or the weight of past experiences while trying to manage relationships, family dynamics, or major life transitions. It can be exhausting to keep pushing forward without clarity or relief, especially when things feel overwhelming or difficult to untangle on your own. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer a supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re going through.

Kasey Williams

Therapist

Virtual • Austin, TX


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist based in Austin, Texas. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and work with teens, adults, and couples. I primarily work with clients ages 14 and older, with much of my current caseload consisting of adults of all ages.

I particularly enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals, as well as folks navigating trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and questions of identity and belonging. I love working with clients who come to therapy with curiosity, openness, and a desire to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. Sometimes that looks like feeling ready to dive in, and sometimes it looks like showing up with uncertainty, skepticism, or hesitation. All of it is welcome. My hope is to help you connect with the curious and compassionate parts of yourself so that together we can approach every part of your experience with kindness, understanding, and care.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Pasadena

Finding couples therapists in Pasadena starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Since not all therapists have training in couples work, look for a licensed marriage and family therapist, or a therapist who lists couples-focused approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bio.

In a smaller market like Pasadena, local couples therapy options may be more limited than in nearby Houston, so virtual appointments can help expand your search. It also helps to choose a therapist whose schedule works for both partners, whether you need daytime, evening, or virtual availability. Before booking, read each therapist’s profile for details on session structure, communication style, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to help you assess fit together.

Couples therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you check coverage before you book. You can compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
