More about Whitney
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in Texas with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I have a Certification for Clinical Trauma (Professional level II) and also have an additional certification in treating victims of trauma from narcissistic abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where they can feel like themselves and not worry about outside judgement. I understand better than most therapists what it's like being in need and not knowing where to turn and I feel this is reflected in my understanding, personable nature and overall counseling approach. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Whitney has helped me grow within myself in the short time we have done counseling. Her advice and techniques have brought my anxiety to a nonexistent level. I am learning and growing in self love everyday! She’s been the best!
I’ve seen therapist in the past but Whitney is one of the best I’ve gotten to work with. She listens and provides great techniques. I truly feel I’m making progress with her help. I would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone who needs a good listener and a great support!
Right away Whitney made me feel comfortable as she listened and responded to my life experiences with compassion and empathy. She is helping me turn some of my behaviors and thought processes into healthy ones so that I can have a better relationship with my friends and family along with showing myself some grace. I have learned about what trauma can do to someone and the more I learn, the more I understand how my reactions can be a reflection of that. Just having someone to talk to who understands what I’m going through has been so helpful and finally feels like I’m letting it all out.
Whitney has been getting me through the darkest time in my life and I owe her so much.
