Therapy Session in Texas

I am passionate about supporting children, teens, and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in helping young clients who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which means I focus on helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building practical coping and communication skills. In my sessions, I aim to create a safe, compassionate, and engaging space where everyone feels heard, valued, and empowered to grow. I often incorporate interactive activities, creative exercises, and age-appropriate tools to make therapy both meaningful.

I'm Maria Valencia, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of experience supporting children (ages 10+), teens, and families. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Texas A&M International University and have worked in schools, community centers, and private practice. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. My specialties include helping kids and young adults cope with trauma, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. I use proven methods like CBT to help children and teens develop coping skills and build resilience. I provide a safe, understanding space for your child to express themselves and grow. As a parent, you'll also receive guidance and support to navigate this journey together.

Dianne Dabney, NCC, M.A., Th.D., LPC I am passionate about helping people become the best version of themselves. With a strong foundation in practical therapeutic approaches and a deep commitment to compassionate care, I bring experience and insight to every session. I specialize in working with children, young adults, older adults, and couples navigating relationship challenges. My background includes a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health, National Certified Counselor (NCC) certification, and a Doctorate in Theology. My approach to therapy is rooted in creating a safe, calming environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their story. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to provide effective tools that empower individuals to manage life’s challenges. Clients can expect to feel heard, supported, and equipped with actionable insights. My goal is for every person I work with to leave feeling hopeful, encouraged, and confident in their journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

As a clinician who has been working with families and individuals for over 15 years, I believe that transformation happens on two levels: the conscious and the subconscious. As a result, I approach sessions with a unique approach. Rather than simply educating clients on alternative techniques and habits to consciously adjust, I also assist them in getting to the root of their struggles. These struggles are often buried deep in the subconscious. I enjoy empowering my clients with tools and insights on both levels to bring lasting change. Whether it be through education, practical tools, or healthy challenges, my goal is to help you experience peace of mind!

My approach blends empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. I believe therapy is a partnership, together, we identify goals, explore new perspectives, and develop practical strategies for meaningful change. My aim is to empower each client to strengthen their sense of self, improve emotional well-being, and build tools to move forward with confidence.
