More about Brandi

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals of all ages as they navigate complex emotional landscapes. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, young adults, and adults, addressing challenges such as stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem development.

My approach centers on creating a compassionate, understanding space where clients can explore their struggles and cultivate personal growth. At the same time, my therapy style is direct and rooted in a “tough love” philosophy — I ask thoughtful questions that challenge your perspectives, encouraging self-reflection and awareness that can relieve anxiety and help you feel more empowered.

I focus on helping clients build confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence, while teaching coping strategies and enhancing communication skills. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, workplace stress, family dynamics, panic attacks, or processing past trauma, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

I believe that we are all exposed to stressors that can take a toll on our mental well-being. Even when it feels like you’ve hit rock bottom, it doesn’t mean it’s the end. If you hold onto even a shred of hope, you can make it through — and I’m here to support you every step of the way. You are not alone.

I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment that respects individual experiences and cultural identities. My goal is to empower you to build resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful, positive changes in your life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
