Yolanda Murray, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Yolanda!

I'm passionate about helping clients uncover their strengths, navigate challenges, and move toward personal growth and emotional wellness. My approach creates a safe space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to work through life's difficulties at your own pace.

My focus

I work with late adolescents, teens, professional adults, military veterans, and aging adults navigating transitions, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and life stressors. Whether you're learning to manage emotions, seeking balance, or working through life changes, I provide tailored support to help you thrive.

My approach

I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach, integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. My goal is to create a collaborative space where you feel heard and empowered to work through challenges at your own pace using productive techniques.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, engaging, and direct. I believe in being an active listener while providing honest, compassionate feedback. Sessions are a judgment-free zone where you'll feel supported but also gently challenged to grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey is rooted in service and helping others navigate life's complexities. I started in the military, then transitioned to education where I realized my calling was supporting people through personal and emotional struggles. Now I blend my experiences to walk alongside clients of all ages.

My goals for you

Together, we'll define clear, achievable goals based on your values and priorities. I help clients track progress with practical tools, reflective discussions, journaling, and periodic check-ins, ensuring each step forward is both intentional and meaningful.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know each other. I'll ask what brought you to counseling, your background, and what you'd like to accomplish. We'll discuss your goals, set expectations, and start building the trust and connection essential for meaningful progress.
