We'll talk. We'll listen. We'll make real change.

You’ve worked hard to build a life you’re proud of, but emotionally, things still feel harder than they should.
Maybe you’re constantly accommodating others — or trying to control everything and everyone.
Either way, you’re tired of destructive patterns and ready for a better way.

At Counseling by Angie, I provide individual counseling for high-achieving adults who want to move from emotional overload to clarity, confidence, and healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, or interpersonal stress, you don’t have to do it alone.

I offer in-person therapy in Plano and online counseling throughout Texas — so support is always within reach.

Through biology, lived experience, and personal growth, we become the person we are today. But research in neuroscience, psychology and counseling shows we can, with intention, grow into the version of ourselves we want to be.

Therapy supports this transformation by providing mental health tools, emotional insight, and professional guidance. Working with a therapist helps us increase self-awareness, clarify our values, and develop skills to navigate relationships, stress, and major life transitions.

When we understand ourselves better, we’re more equipped to trust our intuition and live in alignment with our needs and goals — and to feel more confident, secure, and connected in the world around us.

I often describe our personality—or the path we’ve taken so far—as a kind of tunnel. Think tunnel vision. We move through life focused on what we know and what’s directly in front of us, often missing the people, opportunities, and perspectives just outside our line of sight.

Sometimes it’s “out of sight, out of mind.” Other times, the unfamiliar feels uncomfortable or even threatening, so we stick with what’s safe and predictable—even if it’s limiting.

Individual counseling—much like sunlight breaking into the tunnel—can illuminate new choices, fresh ideas, and unexpected opportunities for personal growth and emotional health.

Therapy supports self-awareness and mindset shifts, reminding us that real change starts from within. With greater acceptance of this, life can start to feel more connected, more intentional, and more fully your own.

Perfectionism: Embracing Progress Over Perfection

Perfectionism often leads to self-criticism and burnout. In therapy, we’ll work on challenging unrealistic standards and shifting focus from flawlessness to growth. By embracing imperfection and setting achievable goals, you can find more balance and self-compassion.

Assertiveness: Finding Your Voice

Assertiveness is the ability to express your thoughts, feelings, and needs openly and respectfully. Many people struggle with being passive (not speaking up), aggressive (being too forceful), or passive-aggressive (indirectly expressing frustration). In therapy, we’ll work on developing assertive communication skills, so you can set boundaries, advocate for yourself, and navigate relationships with confidence and clarity, without guilt or fear.

Short Attention Span & Easily Distracted: Focusing with Clarity

Difficulty focusing can stem from stress, anxiety, or overwhelm. Together, we’ll identify strategies to reduce distractions and improve concentration, helping you stay engaged and productive in daily life.
