Angela Pippins

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I help children and adolescents, adults, couples, and seniors. I aim to help others who suffer from anxiety, self-esteem issues, depression, and other mental health issues. Helping with life transitions, stress, and life decisions is a main goal to help others to live their best possible life.

My approach

I believe in allowing the client to determine what path they want to follow in therapy. I offer modalities based on several different therapists theories. Some of those include but are not limited to, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Client-Centered Therapies, and Narrative therapy.

My focus

I have worked with children and adolescents for more than 15 years. I also specialize in serving older adults and seniors. Ideally, my clients are those who are trying to determine their place in their own world and what purpose they have in the community and how are they meant to find and follow their heart's desire.

My communication style

Communication is based on the participation of two or more parties. I believe in listening to my clients and allowing them to express themselves in the way that works best for them. Working with me will be a partnership that relies on openness, honesty, and a willingness to work towards a shared goal that ultimately will be for the betterment of the client.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a desire to help people who are struggling or having issues with their mental health. Working in direct care fields for most of my adult life has given me the opportunity to learn and grow in the area of understanding how life challenges can hinder or help people. My desire to offer guidance to others as they search for meaning and purpose in life is what drives me in this profession.

My goals for you

Goal setting may or may not happen during the first session. If a client already has their goals in mind, we speak about those very early and begin developing a plan together to help the client reach those goals. If a client does not have any goals in mind, we begin by discussing what their needs are and then base goals based on those needs.

My first session with you

Our first session will start with brief introductions and then a gradual transition to discussing specific issues that the client is dealing with. I will ask questions and allow the client to speak openly about their life and what they hope to accomplish with counseling. During this first session, I will be able to get a better sense of how we can work together and develop a plan for treatment (if needed) in upcoming sessions. I hope that my clients feel heard and respected as we grow to know each other.
