Nickaylynn Barner

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I'm an LPC based in Texas who works with adults navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. I'm not the therapist who nods quietly and lets you talk in circles — I'm engaged, I'm direct, and I'll genuinely challenge you when I think it'll help. I also believe laughter belongs in the therapy room. Healing doesn't have to be a grim process, and some of the most meaningful breakthroughs I've witnessed have happened mid-joke. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Texas and accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Laredo

Finding the right addiction therapist in Laredo starts with understanding the type of care that fits your situation. Licensed professional counselors (LPCs) and licensed chemical dependency counselors (LCDCs) both work with people navigating substance use and behavioral addictions, though their training differs. Some providers hold both licenses, which can be helpful if you're managing a substance use disorder alongside anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background and approach before you commit.

Laredo's location along the South Texas border means the community faces distinct challenges related to substance use, and finding a provider who understands the local context matters. Many therapists in the area offer bilingual sessions in English and Spanish. Whether you prefer to meet in person in the Laredo area or connect virtually, look for a provider whose availability, specialties, and communication style match what you need.

Addiction counseling in Laredo can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an addiction therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
