Grief counselors and therapists in Temple, TX

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with nearly 10 years of experience working with diverse populations in various settings. My background in psychology and social work has allowed me to work in private practices, nonprofit organizations, K-12 schools, and government welfare agencies. I have provided mental health counseling to adolescents, teens, young adults, and seniors.

I specialize in dysregulated kids and women healing from childhood trauma. I use a playful, relationship-based approach and incorporate therapy animals, which helps clients feel safe quickly.

I tend to work best with families looking for more in-depth, personalized support

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Houston, Texas supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, relationship challenges, and burnout especially those who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or disconnected from themselves while still "holding it together" on the outside.

Together, we'll create space to slow down, explore what's beneath the surface, and find clarity.

Whether you're a parent worried about your child's emotional well-being, a teen feeling overwhelmed by school or relationships, or an adult navigating life's challenges, therapy can provide a place to better understand what's happening and find a way forward. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, life transitions, trauma, and everyday stress. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by situations that seem to keep repeating, unsure of how to help themselves or the people they love.

Are you in the blame game? Do you blame yourself for events and circumstances beyond your circle of control and influence? You’re one of the millions of people so trapped!

Counseling help is available for you- as a parent, a teenager, young adult, couple, or whatever category that defines your person. As your counselor, your mental health journey is mine. You have POWER within YOU. Utilizing your past experience as a steppingstone to overcome all obstacles.

BELIEVE!!!

Let the journey begin.

Hello, my name is Celinda Barron, and have been licensed as a Professional Counselor since 2019. I have a Masters of Arts in Guidance and Counseling. As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and family issues. I offer affirming and inclusive care for gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals, and I am deeply committed to creating a safe and supportive space for exploring identity, relationships, and life transitions.

My work also includes helping clients process and heal from grief, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I understand how complex and personal each journey is, and I strive to meet each person with empathy, respect, and authenticity.

Therapeutic Approach

I use a collaborative, evidence-based approach tailored to your needs and goals. My practice draws from:

• Motivational Interviewing (MI) – to help explore ambivalence and build motivation for change
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors
• Humanistic Therapy – to foster self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional healing
• Behavioral Management Therapy – to develop practical strategies for daily challenges, particularly with ADHD and behavioral concerns

Whether you're facing internal struggles, interpersonal difficulties, or identity-related stress, I am here to walk with you—offering guidance, skills, and support every step of the way.

I graduated from West Texas A&M University with a master's degree in Professional Counseling.
