About Darla Avery

Darla Avery, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor who supports adults navigating anxiety, stress, and the ongoing impact of difficult past experiences. With 21 years of experience, she helps clients make sense of persistent worry, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and the ways these patterns can affect daily life, relationships, sleep, and overall confidence.

Her work centers on helping clients better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so they can build healthier coping strategies and feel more steady day to day. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, mentally exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. In sessions, Darla works collaboratively with clients to identify underlying patterns, process painful experiences, and develop practical tools for managing emotional distress and life changes.

Darla draws from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients challenge unhelpful thinking, strengthen emotional responses, and address distress tied to trauma and post-traumatic stress. She aims to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can build insight, resilience, and momentum toward meaningful, lasting change.

Evidence-Based Tools, Made Accessible Through Online Therapy

Darla Avery, LPC, draws from practical, research-supported approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem by helping clients challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps clients work through distressing memories and the lingering impact of trauma and post-traumatic stress. It can be especially helpful when past experiences continue to show up as emotional overwhelm, heightened stress reactions, or feeling stuck in the present. Darla also incorporates Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes strengths and small, realistic steps toward change when clients want forward movement and practical strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Darla collaborates with clients to identify priorities, goals, and preferences, and then tailors sessions to what is most helpful over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent, fit support into a busy schedule, and access therapy from wherever a client is in Texas.
