Ysabel's Counseling Background & Approach
My approach is warm, relational & deeply attuned to you as a whole person. I hold a lot of respect for how layered & complex each person’s experience can be. In our sessions, we might gently explore patterns in your relationships, build awareness of how stress & trauma live in your body & help you reconnect with your inner voice and intuition. If you're someone who wants skills, exercises, practices in session or out, you'll find a lot of this! Healing doesn’t always happen through talking alone & it doesn’t have to feel rushed. We move at a pace that feels safe, grounded, & sustainable for you. At the core, I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion & care, while also offering tools, structure & guidance when needed. Whether you’re feeling stuck in anxiety, caught in OCD loops, overwhelmed by trauma responses, or disconnected from yourself or others, therapy can become a space where you feel seen, supported & able to create meaningful change.
As a Human
I believe that being able to genuinely connect with your therapist is an essential part of the healing process, especially in virtual therapy. So here's a little peek into what makes me, me. As a therapist, a parent, and a person showing up in the world.

🐱 A lifelong cat lover (truly, since birth). There’s something about their coziness that resonates deeply.

👩👦👦 Motherhood continues to shape me daily. Parenting a 11yo & a 2yo creates a very fun week-to-week!
-
🌿 I feel deeply connected to the rhythms of the Earth, people & energy. The intuitive side of therapy is where I feel alive.

🔴 Rosacea likes to let people know when I've been outside. Shifts in weather, exercise, & surprise triggers will have my face fluctuating different shades of red through our time together!
-
🌊 I'm an intuitive empath & outgoing introvert. A combo that makes me deeply attuned & fully present with the people I work with.
-
📺 My (possibly lifelong) mission: to watch every great TV show in existence. Currently into The Four Seasons & Shrinking.

🚗 Roadtrips bring me joy. Not just the weekend kind, but the multiple weeks spread out over the country kind!

❄️ Snow brings me a deep sense of calm. Soft, quiet & still.
Therapy involves my presence. And in our work together, I aim to bring my whole self: grounded, open & real. If you're looking for an online therapist in Texas who values intuition, relational depth & nervous system awareness, I’d be honored to connect.
