I am Jennifer Ferguson. I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I was 13. After college, I was a teacher on and off-interspersed with staying home with children. While completing my counseling degree from Capella University, I was still able to stay at home with my children. I have worked at a drug rehab center for women, a small private school as their mental health therapist, at a mental health hospital outpatient program, and in private practice, virtually and in-person.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide compassionate and collaborative therapy for adults (18+) navigating a wide range of life challenges. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I also center my work around a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person already holds the capacity for growth and change.
I support clients with life transitions, stress and anxiety, depression, and other emotional and relational struggles. Together, we work to build insight, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change, at a pace that feels right for you.
My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. I aim to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered.
Life brings challenges that can feel overwhelming, and it’s not always easy to find your way forward on your own. My goal is to walk alongside you through the good, the bad, and everything in between. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, identify your strengths, and work toward building the tools you need to feel more resilient, motivated, and confident in your daily life.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I know reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and I want you to know you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to offer a calm, compassionate space where you feel safe to explore, heal, and grow.
I believe real change begins with genuine connection, and I strive to meet every client with warmth, understanding, and respect. Together, we’ll work at your pace to help you find clarity, strength, and a greater sense of peace.
For those who value efficiency. My approach is direct, strategic, and results-driven.
You are driven, smart, and successful. Something is keeping you stuck. Let’s investigate and make real progress. I work a little differently. Direct feedback, thoughtful goals, and therapy that is intentional, not endless.
I have experience working with clients of all ages. I have been a counselor in both inpatient mental health and non-profit agencies.
I have been practicing for over 15 years with compassion/empathy guiding my efforts. I have extensive experience with 9 populations: Eating Disorders, Anxiety/Depression, Combat Vets, Geriatrics, Sex Offenders, Substance Use Disorder, Co-Occurring Disorders, Clinic environment, Women's issues.
Hello! I'm Stephanie Tran, currently a counselor for the detention center in my county. I obtained my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lubbock Christian University, and my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from West Virginia University.
I am a certified grief counselor and nationally certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).
My passion is helping individuals find their voice, their own passion, and helping guide people forward in their own journeys.
As a counselor, my ultimate goal is to assist every individual with becoming their own best advocates and working towards self-accountability.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and emotional regulation. I provide culturally sensitive care in English, Spanish, and Russian and strive to create a safe, respectful, and supportive space where clients feel heard and understood.
Hello, I’m glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way to this page, chances are you’ve been carrying a lot maybe quietly, maybe for a long time. You might be exhausted from holding it all together or used to pushing through even when it feels heavy inside. Therapy BLIS was created for moments like this, for people who are doing their best but know they can’t keep doing it all alone. This is a space where you don’t have to explain away your pain or minimize what you’re feeling. You get to be seen, supported, and understood exactly where you are.

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.
