Grief counselors and therapists in Mckinney, TX

Hi, I’m J’nayle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore life’s challenges. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, burnout, grief, and major life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and focused on helping clients build healthier coping skills, emotional insight, and stronger relationships with themselves and others.

What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.

I am a bilingual therapist who has worked in the public education system for more than 15 years. I have experience working in several settings such as public schools, non-profits and corporations. I have earned a Master’s degree in Divinity, a Master’s degree in School Counseling, and a Master’s degree in Public School Administration. I have more than 15 years of experience working with children and adolescents to overcome school struggles. I have more than 10 years of experience working with women of all ages. In 2018, I was honored to receive a Congressional Award for my Inclusion work. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance.

I am trained in EMDR therapy and I am available for virtual sessions most afternoons and weekends.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. My clinical training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and Problematic Sexual Behavior- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents (PSB-CBT-A). Whether you are seeking support for past experiences, current stressors, or personal growth, I am committed to helping you feel empowered and understood throughout the therapeutic process.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with a Master of Arts in Counseling. I currently work in a group practice, and I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find pathways to healing and growth.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients, from young adults to those navigating end-of-life transitions. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, and I’m here to help you explore ways to manage those feelings and take steps toward the life you want to live.

I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a great tool for addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors. I also find Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to be a powerful approach for helping people live more authentically and in alignment with their values. Whether you're looking to manage stress, navigate grief, or just understand yourself better, we’ll work together to find the tools and strategies that resonate most with you.
