More about Joyce
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
As a licensed therapist serving clients in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping people navigate challenging life experiences, with a deep commitment to addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, particularly focused on supporting women's mental health and addressing multicultural concerns. My therapeutic work emphasizes healing from trauma, managing life transitions, and developing stronger interpersonal communication skills.
My approach is rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore self-love, work through shame and guilt, and develop healthier coping strategies. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, workplace stress, or seeking deeper personal understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

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.
