Penny Mitchell, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Penny!

My passion is helping adults who are coping with depression, anxiety, grief, chronic illnesses, and other mental health areas. I help individuals adjust and cope with stress and life events.

My focus

Depression, anxiety, bipolar, coping with chronic illnesses, grief, codependency, and alcohol addiction are some of the problem areas my clients have. If your goal is to alleviate symptoms and improve your overall quality of life, please consider making an appointment today!

My approach

I strive to provide a judge-free zone that is safe and authentic. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and psychoeducational interventions. Counseling sessions will consist of identifying problem areas, talking through them, and making a treatment plan accordingly.

My communication style

My tone will vary depending on what is appropriate at that time of the session. It may range from formal to informal, humorous at times, motivating, respectful, and optimistic. My demeanor is caring, compassionate, considerate, and altruistic. My listening style is one that is kind, reflective, and connective.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have encountered many who are trying to balance physical and mental health issues while taking on their everyday life responsibilities. My compassion is to help individuals with mental health concerns so they can then work on other aspects of life.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you through challenges to make a positive impact on your life. We will work collaboratively to identify strengths and develop strategies that support your growth and well-being.

Our first session

In counseling sessions, you will determine what goals you want to achieve. We will work collaboratively on a treatment plan for you. You will be given tools to utilize between sessions to manage symptoms during your everyday activities.
