Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Grapevine, TX

Do you struggle with feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Do you frequently feel “less than”? Do your needs go to the bottom of the to-do list? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to manage relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. My goal is to help you feel better so you can live better.

Often the weight of the world can feel all-consuming and everyday tasks can come with fear and avoidance. Perhaps even the thought of reaching out to begin therapy ignites feelings of dread. However, deep down, you know you deserve better – because you do! I would be honored to navigate the anxiety, the stress, the sadness, and more with you. Together, we will build upon the strengths you already hold inside, and work to understand the thoughts and feelings that come with everything else.

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I know seeking out and engaging in individual, marriage or family counseling can be a challenging decision and it is important to me as a therapist to provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere for people to share and work through their concerns. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop measurable treatment goals that provide structure to our therapy sessions. My experience and training include working with clients through a variety of milestones, as well as challenges.

Life is unpredictable and at times can be very uncomfortable. It is during these times, when we look for a safe place so that we do not have to feel alone - either with our thoughts, feelings, or the decisions we have to make.

I am accepting new clients! I know we are all just seeking to live a fulfilled life. We want to meet our goals but sometimes we hit some bumps in the road. That's where taking the brave step towards counseling comes in. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, women, and men to help you overcome your struggles, gain confidence, and walk in your true identity. I am here to listen to your story without judgement and help you along the road to healing.

I am currently accepting new clients across the state of Texas for Teletherapy. I welcome adolescents and adults, couples, and families facing a variety of challenges including addiction, anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship issues, unresolved familial conflict, and everything in between. With my educational background and experience I’m confident that we can work together through whatever it is you may be facing.

My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

I work with individuals from a strengths-based, person-centered perspective. I also like to incorporate interpersonal neurobiology to help you learn to sit with emotions in your body. I let you take the lead - after all, these sessions are all about you! I think it's important to spend time getting to know my clients and making our time together a conversation as opposed to a Q&A session. It's important to me that you feel heard and understood. I am direct but kind, and tailor my approach to specifically address your mental health needs as you define them.

Are you looking for support in navigating life's challenges? I specialize in helping clients develop coping strategies, improve their mental well-being, and work towards personal growth and self-discovery. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and collaboration.

Are you really "fine"? Everyone experiences tough seasons in life, so if you find yourself in a stuck place, you don't need to pretend everything is fine. Reach out, you're not alone, and take hope there can be better days ahead!

Accepting new clients! Welcome, I’m Erica! I support individuals who are grappling with the profound and emotional weight of grief and loss, the difficulties of various relationships and the impacts of past experiences and traumas. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized support as you work through these complex and often overwhelming experiences. I will partner with you as you navigate the challenges of your emotional and relational landscapes. I have a gentle and direct demeanor and our time together will be tailored to your needs and goals, allowing us to explore your unique experiences and find pathways to healing.

Difficult doesn't mean impossible and unfamiliar doesn't mean incapable. Life seasons can be challenging when we experience distressing events, thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My goal is to establish a trusting and warm therapeutic relationship and facilitate the process of getting each client from where they are to where they want to be.

Are you or your child struggling with past trauma? Unresolved trauma can manifest in many ways. Often people are depressed, anxious or constantly worried. You might find that even the most mundane tasks are overwhelming. In children, this can often look like frequent tantrums, defiance or poor performance. People often try a multitude of things before seeking therapy. But often exploring these traumas in a safe, non-judgmental space can be just the thing you or your child may need.

People who see a professional counselor want a better life, and help to discover possibilities. My role as a licensed professional counselor is to actively listen and offer perspective to allow the client to sort through their choices and suggests options the client may not have considered. The clients makes their decisions, with counselor support and encouragement, on how they will go forward with their lives.

There is no cookie cutter therapeutic approach that works for everyone. Your personality and struggles are unique, and your therapy experience should be too.

Whether you are dealing with difficult emotions, unwanted behaviors, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply a desire to improve yourself; the work of talk therapy can help you to identify the patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be keeping you from your goals and desires.
