Some seasons of life are just hard, and you don’t have to go through them alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping people feel supported and understood, I believe everyone deserves to be seen and heard.
I also believe our backstory matters. It often shapes how we think, feel, and relate to others. My role is to help you make sense of those experiences while building the tools you need to overcome insecurities, heal from past trauma, and manage anxiety and stress. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, empowered, and in control of your life.
I have been a LPC for over 10 years and have worked with a very diverse group of clients. They range in age from 6 to 60. I specialize in adolescents and trauma. I have also worked with depression, anxiety, personal relationships, parenting problems, addictions, emotional abuse, and physical trauma.
I'm Dr. Joyce Thomas-Campbell, and I've spent more than 40 years walking alongside people through some of life's most tender and difficult seasons. My career has taken me from directing counseling and student support programs at Paul Quinn College, to leading Communities in Schools, to years of counseling at Texas State Technical College. Along the way, I also founded Empowering a Better You, because I believe deeply that everyone has the capacity to grow into a stronger, fuller version of themselves.
What all those years have taught me is simple: people don't need to be fixed, they need to be heard. I bring warmth, honesty, and a good deal of lived wisdom to every conversation. I'm the kind of person who will listen closely, tell you the truth kindly, and stay in your corner. Outside of my work, I'm a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, so I understand family, love, loss, and resilience not just as a counselor but as someone who has lived it. I also stay current with the latest in the field through ongoing training each year, because you deserve care that's both seasoned and up to date.
First, I applaud you for seeking counseling during these ever-changing times. It is challenging to recognize the need in achieving a goal and more challenging to seek out help. I am a licensed professional counselor supervisor with a Masters in Clinical & Counseling Psychology. I am board certified and have certifications in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT certification, Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP)and Anxiety & Depression certification.
I work to meet you where you are and assist individuals struggling to improve mental health. I am devoted to helping you achieve a better quality of life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Texas
Searching for therapists in Texas starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across a state as large and varied as Texas, therapy needs and available therapists can differ across urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches your needs. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others may focus on specific populations or concerns.
Location and format also matter when comparing Texas therapists. In larger areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, you may have many choices, while other parts of the state may have fewer local options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access from home. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.
The cost of therapy in Texas can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Texas therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and are ready to take new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
