Grace Okugbere, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Grace!

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor driven by core values to become an essential agent of change. My background spans nursing, organizational management, and small business, giving me a unique perspective on the challenges you face. I'm here to help you move forward.

My focus

My experience comes from providing individual and group counseling for teenagers, kids, and adults with a variety of presenting issues, including LGBT-related issues, depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, domestic violence, and sex trafficking.

My approach

My Therapy style and approach draw influence from Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. CBT aims to help you identify and explore the ways your emotions and thoughts can affect your actions.

My communication style

I create an open and safe environment where you can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Our work together is collaborative and respectful.

My journey to mental healthcare

My diverse background in nursing and management taught me that meaningful change requires both compassion and practical strategies. I became a therapist to help others navigate their challenges with the same dedication I bring to my own growth.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you develop practical coping strategies and new behavioral patterns that support lasting change. We'll focus on the here and now while building skills you can use beyond our sessions.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll create a safe space to discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll learn about your concerns and goals, and we'll begin exploring how we can work together to support the changes you want to see.
