Teresita Andrade, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Teresita!

I help individuals navigate grief, anxiety, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm with compassion and practical tools. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward with strength and clarity.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and major life transitions. I have extensive experience supporting individuals facing loss, caregiving stress, and emotional overwhelm, helping them process difficult experiences while building healthier coping skills.

My approach

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to help clients understand their emotions, build resilience, and develop practical coping strategies for life’s challenges.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and direct. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe expressing themselves without judgment. I balance empathy with practical guidance, helping clients gain insight, develop coping tools, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by both personal experiences with loss and my professional work in hospice and mental health. These experiences deepened my commitment to helping others navigate grief, trauma, and life’s challenges with compassion, resilience, and hope.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to identify meaningful goals and create realistic steps toward change. Through reflection, skill-building, and ongoing support, I help clients increase self-awareness, strengthen coping strategies, and build the confidence needed to move forward.
