Online Therapy in Texas
You already know what's stuck. You’ve handled hard things your whole life.
EMDR therapy, grief, and trauma therapy with a specialist ~ virtual, private, anywhere in Texas.
Real Help, Wherever You Are in Texas
You've probably already done some version of this.
Maybe you had a therapist who was nice but generic, or you’ve done enough reading and research to know exactly what you're dealing with…but it doesn’t need another year of talking around it. Maybe you're in Dallas, Austin, or Houston and every EMDR specialist you've found has a waitlist. Or you're two hours from the nearest city, and driving to weekly appointments was never going to happen.
Finding an online therapist in Texas shouldn’t be limited by where you live. Online therapy in Texas means you don't have to settle for whoever happens to be nearby. I'm a licensed clinical social worker providing individual online therapy across Texas for grief, betrayal trauma, and the impact of growing up with emotionally immature parents, with EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy as core approaches. Sessions happen over secure video ~ from your home, your parked car, or your office with the door closed.
Private, effective, on your schedule, and built around a demanding life
If you've been waiting for the right time, let this be it.
EMDR Therapy in Texas
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain finish processing experiences that got stuck: the memory that still makes your chest tighten, the moment your mind keeps returning to at 2am. It works well over video, using the same protocol as in-person sessions, and EMDR specialists in Dallas, Austin, and Houston often carry months-long waitlists ~ virtual sessions solve the waitlist and the distance problem entirely. I offer EMDR in weekly therapy and as a [virtual EMDR therapy intensive in Texas:](link to intensive's rates page home) two half-days of focused processing, from your own home. EMDR isn't the only approach I use ~ depending on what you're carrying, we may work with IFS (Internal Family Systems) or somatic therapy.
Online Trauma Therapy in Texas
Trauma isn't always the big, obvious events. It's also the discovery that changed everything: the affair, the secret, the double life you didn't know you were living next to. Betrayal trauma is one of my primary specialties ~ the hypervigilance, the timeline obsession, the checking you can't stop even though you hate it. I also work with adults reeling from emotionally immature parents: the guilt, the over-responsibility, the years of being the responsible one in a family that called it maturity. Whether you're searching for online trauma therapy from Fort Worth, El Paso, or anywhere in Texas, the right specialist doesn't have to be local.
Grief Counseling in Texas
Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and some of the hardest grief is complicated: a parent who hurt you dies and you feel guilt and relief tangled together, or you spent years caregiving and don't know who you are without the role. Grief counseling in San Antonio, Austin, or anywhere in Texas that specializes in complicated and stuck grief is rare ~ it's the center of my work, in weekly virtual sessions and in immersive grief intensives open to clients from anywhere.

Common Questions About Online Therapy in Texas
-
A virtual EMDR therapy intensive is two days of focused EMDR, done over secure video from your own home, with intake and integration materials handled asynchronously. It's designed for a specific stuck point that weekly sessions keep circling ~ more momentum than an hour a week can build.
-
No. I'm licensed to practice throughout Texas, so it doesn't matter whether you're in San Antonio, Lubbock, or a town with a smaller name. You just need to be physically located in Texas during our sessions.
-
Sessions need to happen while you're in a state where I hold a license.
If you travel often, we can plan around it. If you live in a different area, I’ll be able to figure out the details.
I'm also licensed in Colorado, Florida, and Virginia, which covers many common travel situations.
We'll sort it out during your consultation.

Online therapy ~ sometimes called virtual counseling ~ is regular therapy conducted over secure video instead of in an office. You meet with a licensed therapist in real time, from any private location, and the work itself, including approaches like EMDR, is the same as it would be in person.
Research consistently shows us that virtual therapy is as effective as in-person treatment for most concerns.
-
For most people and most concerns, yes. Decades of research on telehealth show comparable outcomes, and for some clients it works better. It's easier to open up from your own space, and you're far less likely to cancel when there's no commute. EMDR in particular translates well to video.
-
Look for three things: an active Texas license you can verify, a specialty that matches what you're actually dealing with rather than a generalist list of everything, and a free consultation so you can feel whether the fit is right before committing.
Fit, aka liking your therapist, predicts outcomes more than any credential. I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in betrayal trauma, emotionally immature parents, EMDR, and complicated grief ~ if that's what you're carrying, we may be a good match, and the consultation is where we find out. That's true whether you're in Houston, El Paso, or anywhere in Texas.
-
Yes.
Anxiety is often the surface of something underneath ~ unprocessed grief, betrayal, or old family patterns ~ and that underneath layer is where I work. If your anxiety traces back to something that happened, or something that kept happening, individual therapy that addresses the root tends to hold better than symptom management alone.
You don't have to keep white-knuckling it alone.
The thing you can't stop thinking about, the pattern you're ready to face, the grief that won't move ~ it all responds to the right kind of work.
Online therapy in Texas, wherever you are ~ Dallas, San Antonio, or two hours from anywhere.
