Online Therapy in Texas

Therapy That Fits the Pace of Your Texas Life

Whether you’re navigating the hustle of Houston, the academic and tech grind of Austin, the fast pace of Dallas–Fort Worth, or the quieter rhythm of West Texas, stress doesn’t wait for the perfect moment. When anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or substance use start to take over, getting support shouldn’t add more pressure.

Online therapy gives you access to consistent, high-quality care — without the commute, the traffic, or the added overwhelm.

I’m Erin Oden, LCSW, and I provide online therapy for adults throughout Texas. My approach blends emotional safety with practical, evidence-based tools so you leave sessions feeling both supported and equipped.

Why Online Therapy Works for Texans

Texans are juggling a lot — careers, education, parenting, caregiving, and the daily stress of keeping up. Online therapy makes getting help simpler and more accessible, no matter where in the state you live.

You may benefit from online therapy if you’re:

• Dealing with anxiety, chronic stress, or constant overthinking

• Struggling with ADHD, focus, or follow-through

• Navigating burnout, perfectionism, or people-pleasing

• Working through trauma, intrusive memories, or emotional triggers

• Trying to change your relationship with alcohol or substances

• Feeling stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who you want to be

• Wanting therapy that is supportive and grounded in real-life strategies

Therapy should adapt to your schedule and your reality — not the other way around.

Specialties for Texas Clients

My work focuses on helping adults build confidence, resilience, emotional clarity, and practical coping skills. No fluff, no judgment — just grounded support and strategies that make sense in the real world.

Anxiety Therapy in Texas

Anxiety is one of the most common concerns among Texans juggling career, family, and everyday life. It can show up as:

• Racing thoughts

• Physical tension or panic

• Overthinking every interaction

• Trouble sleeping

• Feeling like you’re never doing “enough”

In therapy, we’ll work on:

• Regulating your nervous system

• Interrupting spirals and cognitive traps

• Loosening the grip of perfectionism

• Setting healthier boundaries

• Building coping skills you can actually use

Through CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches, you’ll learn how to feel more grounded and in control.

Trauma Therapy & EMDR in Texas

Trauma affects how you think, feel, react, and relate — even years after the event. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their intensity.

In trauma therapy, we’ll focus on:

• Safety and nervous system regulation

• Understanding triggers

• Reprocessing trauma without reliving every detail

• Reducing shame and self-blame

• Restoring a sense of internal stability

Texas clients often seek EMDR for:

• Childhood trauma

• Relational wounds

• Emotional abuse

• PTSD symptoms

• Birth, medical, or life-threatening experiences

Healing happens at your pace, with care and clarity.

ADHD Therapy & Executive Function Support

Adult ADHD is common and often misunderstood — especially in busy Texas cities where expectations are high. ADHD can show up as overwhelm, procrastination, disorganization, emotional reactivity, or feeling constantly behind.

In ADHD-focused therapy, we’ll work on:

• Time management and planning skills

• Motivation and follow-through

• Reducing shame around “not enough”

• Creating structure that works with your brain

• Managing burnout

• Understanding ADHD’s impact on identity and relationships

I use CBT, coaching-informed tools, and strengths-based strategies so you can feel more confident navigating daily life.

Addiction & Substance Use Counseling in Texas

Many adults reach for alcohol or substances to cope with stress, numb emotions, unwind, or get through overwhelming days. When it starts taking more than it gives, therapy can help you understand what’s underneath the struggle and build healthier, sustainable patterns.

We’ll explore:

• Triggers and emotional patterns

• Coping skills that don’t rely on substances

• Stress reduction strategies

• Relapse prevention and accountability

• Rebuilding self-trust

Therapy is a supportive, non-shaming space to regain stability and control.

Body Image, Self-Esteem & Identity Work

Texas culture can create pressure — appearance, success, productivity, achievement. If you’re struggling with self-worth or how you relate to your body, therapy provides space to explore and rebuild.

We can focus on:

• Body image concerns

• Disordered eating patterns (without focusing on numbers)

• Internalized criticism

• Self-compassion and boundaries

• Life transitions and identity shifts

You deserve a steadier, kinder relationship with yourself.

What Online Therapy Looks Like

Sessions are held on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You’ll need:

• A private space

• A reliable internet connection

• A willingness to show up as you are

Many clients prefer weekly sessions at first, then shift to biweekly as they feel more grounded.

Insurance & Payment (Texas Clients)

I am in-network with:

• Aetna

• UnitedHealthcare (and subsidiaries)

• Lyra Health (EAP)

Private pay is available in all states using debit, credit, or HSA/FSA cards. Superbills are offered for out-of-network plans.
