Therapy that gets you. Healing that grows you.
Hi, I’m Larneka — a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor who believes healing begins when you feel seen, understood, and supported. My approach is warm, authentic, and empowering.
I help adults navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I’m passionate about serving BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and underserved communities by providing therapy that honors each person’s identity and lived experience.
I'm a virtual only therapist with experience in helping adults and teens understand life change and human development.
There are few things in life that are priceless, but mental health is one of them. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of trust, respect and alliance. As a licensed clinician, I believe that each of us has a responsibility, a duty, to become the best versions of ourselves. I also believe that as humans we already possess the tools and knowledge to achieve that goal. As your therapist, it is important to understand your therapeutic goals, your personal struggles, and to highlight the tools/gifts that you already possess. All of this is achieved through open and truthful communication, consistency, and respect. My goal is to accompany you on your journey to wellness.
I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a retired US Army Chaplain. I hold licensure in three states: Texas, South Carolina, and Florida. My extensive experience is in helping clients with various traumas, dissociation, and abuse using EMDR therapy. You will be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Tailoring our dialogue and treatment plan to your specific needs is paramount. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, happier life takes courage. You will be supported in that process.
My name is Candace Holmes, LPC. I have been licensed since 2015. In these years I worked with older adults, adults, families, and juveniles. I work with clients to resolve life's problems with the utilization of mindfulness, boundaries, self awareness and self acceptance. While these are goals that may take a while to achieve, they assist in helping us feel that we are able to face life’s challenges.
I am direct and solution-oriented when it comes to solving problems. I have a Masters's degree in counseling psychology and have been in private practice for 22 years. I focus mainly on depression and anxiety. I challenge your thought process, suggest strategies, and use an evidence-based treatment approach.
I am a mental health therapist with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and strive to provide a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. My approach is tailored to each person's unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices to help clients develop practical coping skills, build resilience, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 12 years of experience, I believe prioritizing mental health is essential to creating stability and meaningful change. Reaching out for support takes courage, and I deeply respect that step.
Whether you’re adjusting to motherhood, managing anxiety, navigating relationship concerns, healing from past experiences, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, therapy can provide a space to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with primarily adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, women’s issues, and maternal mental health concerns. I believe that healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.
My therapeutic style is warm, affirming, and collaborative. I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs and draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based practices, and solution-focused interventions.
My goal is to help you build on your strengths, develop practical tools for everyday challenges, and create meaningful change that aligns with the life you want to live. Wherever you are in your journey, we can begin there.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a 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.
