Top virtual Texas children therapists who accept Premera Blue Cross

With nine years of dedicated experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I bring a wealth of expertise in supporting individuals through their journeys of healing and personal growth. Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, and adults. My professional approach is rooted in creating a compassionate and empowering therapeutic space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. Through evidence-based interventions and a client-centered perspective, I am committed to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional well-being, fostering resilience, and facilitating positive transformation.

Hello, my name is Dennis Steelman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and trauma. I primarily utilize CBT and EMDR in the treatment process. I believe that therapy should be impactful and long-lasting. I believe my job is to guide and instruct, but real change will occur when there is a measurable sense of buy-in. I look forward to working with you and I wish you all the best.

I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I saw several movies with therapist as the main character. I believe change happens when we all work together to help each other. Clients who get the most out of therapy with me are clients with variety of different issues and concerns. Three words that describe my style are cultural competency, empathy and effective listening skills. Something about me that is unique is I have ran several 10K and 5K races and running is a hobby and passion of mine. What influences me to do the work do is striving be the best person I can be and helping others to do the same. I grew up as a Army brat as my Dad was in the Army and he retired after 20 years in the service. I got to see the world and the country and that has shaped my world views.

I believe that an individual's problems or issues are psychological in nature and of no specific kind or degree, but rather depend on the specialty of the therapist. The key idea behind therapy is that each individual person is unique and distinctive, which means that a one size fits all approach to therapy will not be effective, whether the therapy is intended to help someone recover physically from a car accident, or emotionally from a traumatic event. As a therapist, I utilize techniques and develop a treatment plan designed specifically for each client's unique needs, addressing peculiarities of the client's personality and situation rather than providing generic treatment which may be less effective. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and a National Certified Counselor. My formal education has prepared me to counsel individuals, groups, couples, families, adults, adolescents, and children.

Since 2018, I have utilized person-centered and strength-based practices to promote the "Power of Self." These practices empower individuals to direct their therapeutic process. Establishing a safe zone and welcoming client feedback allows methods that are proven to be effective in managing difficulties, promoting personal growth, and accomplishing personal goals. I also provide therapy services to individuals exploring their sexuality; sexually fluent; and those that are experiencing a decrease or increase in sexual functioning. My experience includes working with life transitions (military and civilian), intimacy barriers, sexuality connections, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ challenges, trauma, race-related trauma, Military Trauma, PTSD, and addiction. My purpose is to help uplift and contribute to the healing of others while affirming individuals from all ethnic backgrounds. As life happens, you do not have to walk your journey on your own. Give yourself grace and take your journey one day at a time.

Welcome! I am Nancy Samura, a Licensed Clinical therapist at LICSW. I am originally from Sierra Leone, West Africa. I am a mother of five beautiful children. I was raised in New Jersey and lived most of my adult years in Minnesota. I am currently based in Houston, Texas. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, couples, and families. Mental health is a priority, and I am passionate about helping individuals and families overcome mental health symptoms by gaining the tools and confidence to face life’s challenges. I work from a collaborative, strengths-based approach, assisting and supporting clients to be the authors of their own lives. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, self-esteem, substance abuse, and trauma.

As an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), I am a trained mental health professional who specializes in helping individuals overcome a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. My practice is grounded in a client-centered approach, where I work collaboratively with each of my clients to help them achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being. My educational background is in clinical psychology from an accredited program. With extensive experience in the field, I've had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and more. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual, drawing on a variety of modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy.

You are on the search for something. Whether it is clarity, peace, happiness, support, or the freedom to finally explore who YOU truly are. We often feel the pressure to appear we have it all together when deep inside we are fighting a battle within. This journey that you are on, no longer has to be walked alone.

I am a licensed therapist with over five years of experience working diligently with teens (13+) and adults. My approach is eclectic and evidence-based, integrating a blend of behavioral and trauma-informed techniques. My goal is to support clients in developing a deep understanding of themselves while equipping them with new coping skills to navigate life's challenges more effectively. I firmly believe in each individual's potential for growth and healing and am committed to guiding my clients on their unique journeys toward well-being.

I trust that each person has their own innate wisdom. We will focus on allowing this wisdom to arise and let it guide us toward your well-being. I use a combination of Western and Eastern psychological insights to help you identify your goals and make a plan to get you there. What can you expect from our first session? My clients say I'm incredibly empathetic, thoughtful, a great listener, and caring. But I also challenge you and encourage you to challenge yourself. I'll push you yet hold you at the same time. I specialize in working with people who want to believe in themselves again, build an authentic relationship, and feel hopeful about the future again. Let's join our paths for a brief moment during this lifetime and rest in our intrinsic awareness together.
