More about Lara
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of experience working across a variety of settings, including intensive inpatient and outpatient care. Many of the people who find their way to me feel stuck, overwhelmed, confused, or worn down by life not working the way they hoped. I often work with individuals who are searching for clarity, direction, and guidance - especially those who feel marginalized, overlooked, or unsure of their next steps.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, honest, and refreshing. I believe meaningful change happens not only in session, but through the small, everyday choices made between sessions. Sometimes the work begins with being deeply heard; from there, we move toward intentional steps and insight that build momentum over time. My goal is to support you in developing clarity, resilience, and forward movement, rather than dependence on therapy itself.
Alongside counseling, I bring a background in brain-based therapies, including experience with QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback, which informs how I think about emotional regulation, habits, and change. I’m also a Christian, and for clients who request it, I can integrate a biblical appraoch into your sessions. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
