Therapy Session in Texas

Hello my name is Shanice Watson, I graduated from Lindsey Wilson College in 2022 with a Master’s degree in Human Development and Counseling, and I am passionate about walking alongside adults and young people as they navigate life’s challenges. My approach to therapy blends professional knowledge with lived experiences, allowing me to connect with clients on a deeper level. I specialize in supporting clients through anxiety, bullying, depression, grief, and life transitions, while also focusing on building self-esteem and healthier coping strategies. I believe healing happens in a safe, supportive space where you feel seen and heard. My goal is to empower you to uncover your strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and move toward the life you want to create.

I am a compassionate and creative mental health counselor who earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. With a warm, empathetic, and often humorous approach, I strive to build strong, trusting relationships with clients of all ages children, adolescents, and adults alike. My counseling style is flexible and person-centered, meaning I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of the individual. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play therapy, and motivational interviewing. Whether we're exploring tough emotions, working through anxiety or depression, managing anger, healing from trauma, or building self-esteem, my goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where growth and healing can truly happen. Above all, I believe in empowering clients to recognize their strengths, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity. I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey!

I am a compassionate mental health counselor who graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Master of Science in Chrisitan Counseling.

Parenting can be challenging. Every parent wants the best for their child, but mistakes happen. Is your teenager feeling off or withdrawn? I have spent my career helping young people deal with depression, anxiety, tough experiences, and issues related to being adopted from foster care. I also support those with behavioral and school-related problems like peer relationships and social skills. I enjoy working with teens to help them express themselves, manage their anger, and make good friends. I also help parents understand their children and build a stronger relationship. In our sessions, I help clients explore the reasons behind their feelings. As a former teacher, I know that one approach doesn't work for everyone. That's why I use different methods, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to help your child succeed. After therapy, clients can manage their emotions better and reduce unhealthy behaviors. Your child will leave therapy feeling empowered and capable of handling daily challenges. I understand that taking the first step can be tough. I am here to support you every step of the way.

If you are looking for someone to support you, hear you out, empower you, encourage you, but call you out when need-be, you've come to the right place. My practice is centered around YOU. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to do therapy so long as you are growing and learning from the experience and willing to put in the work. I utilize solution-focused and strength-based models to help us remain focused on the here-and-now. That doesn't mean that the past doesn't influence who we are today, but we can't stay focused on only our past; we have to be willing to put in the work into being a more fierce, stronger, resilient version of ourselves. My approach is simple: meet the client where they are. Something trigger an intrusive thought or a traumatic memory to come to surface? We can take time to explore that. Or a current event has really brought on some anxiety and you need someone to talk through it. Whatever it may be, I am here to support you on YOUR journey.
