Chris Cisneros

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Austin, TX


I currently have in-person, walk-and-talk, and virtual availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

Therapy with me is about co-creating a hearth - a therapeutic space for warmth, restoration, and growth along life’s journeys. I work with individuals and families who have experienced the effects of anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, relational trauma, and complex trauma. These effects often leave us in chaotic cycles of either burning things to the ground or feeling cold and alone. I also am passionate about working with neurodivergent folks (ADHD and Autism) who have maybe felt outcast in their search for connection. Together, we rest and reflect on whatever creating a warm home means to you.

My personal interests include:

  • Songwriting, recording, and listening to any music that tells a story with lyrics or sound
  • Hiking, camping, and kayaking
  • Anime, manga, fantasy, sci-fi, and story writing
  • Open world and JRPG video games
  • Swimming, soccer, football, and sailing
  • Board games and table top roleplaying games (TTRPGs)
  • Cooking, traveling, and brewing delicious coffee.

Brandi Mizell

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

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.
