My therapist is very responsive and is great listener. I was struggling with burnout and anxiety, and I was in a very fragile place when I first started sessions. I have made significant improvements through her support.

Greetings! Sometimes life's challenges will prompt us to seek support and you've come to the right place. Kudos to you for taking the first step in getting the support you are seeking.
I have a master's degree in School and Professional Counseling from Amberton University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. As a School Counselor I have refined my skills in working with adolescents from diverse backgrounds. I have over seventeen years working with high school students and adults. I have worked with individuals with anxiety, suicidal thoughts, low self esteem, lack of motivation and significant trauma.
My therapeutic style is future-focused, goal-directed and focuses on solutions rather than on the problems. My assumption is that you have knowledge of what would make your life better and together we will work on solutions. My approach is collaborative, in order to achieve change. As a therapist/counselor, I am very open and you can tell me anything in a non judmental environment. I am here if you need to feel understood and you want the truth. If this is what you are looking for, you have come to the right place.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Easy to talk to
Mrs. Simmons helped me a lot during hard times. She is very trustful, professional and comprehensive
She lets me just talk while she listens and helps suggests ways to help better myself
I’ve only text/ chatted with Nedra a few Times, but she’s been wonderful so far!
Nedra is great! She listens and responds in a way that really helps you dive deep into the “why’s, what’s, where’s and how’s. I find that she is willing to work with you in numerous ways that makes you as the client feel like the number one priority which is imperative when seeking someone to share your personal life details with. I believe I found the one that is willing to help me process some of my thoughts and feeling and for that I am grateful.
Nedra is a great listener and always remembers what I have going on in my life to ask me about things each week. It's been a major help having her in my life weekly through a big life transition of moving states and re-building this year. I highly recommend working with Nedra! :D
I would highly recommend working with Nedra! I have been very resistant to therapy in the past and she was extremely patient, understanding, intuitive to my needs, and so so wise. Her calming energy is one that I have rarely encountered. After every session with her, I came away with a better sense of self-respect and for that, I will always be grateful. Any patient would be lucky to be matched with Surnedra!
Nedra has been absolutely amazing! Extremely patient, positive, supportive and uplifting, Nedra has calmly guided me to observe my own thoughts, question them, not be afraid of them and learn from them. Very grateful
Nedra is very helpful and polite. She has helped me see things in ways I never thought I would see. She has helped me overcome substance abuse, emotional grief and depression.
I love her! She lets me talk free of judgement and gives me honest responses that allow me to think.
Nedra has been instrumental in helping me navigate my grief.
Nedra made me feel that she understood what I was going through, and she always was giving me helpful suggestions and practices to follow on my daily life to get better. She always asked me whats going better for you this week which made focus on good things on my life!
I would highly recommend, Nedra! She's a great listener!
I have received exactly what I needed during my sessions with Nedra. Very grateful
Nedra is very calm, caring and professional. I am very pleased that I chose her as my counselor. She’s warm and offers great insight.
Nedra is amazing and words honestly fail me. She is very easy to talk to and is a warm and inviting personality. She really helped me overcome a lot of problems and I can't stress enough how cool she is. Truly amazing.
I've made so much progress in so little time with Nedra's help. Her thoughtfulness and warmth makes it easy to talk about difficult topics - our video sessions always feel like I'm having a conversation with a close friend.
Working with Mrs. Simmons is amazing. We’ve worked together for 3 months and I’m making a lot of progress. I can’t wait to see where I am 6 months from now.
Nedra was an amazingly kind, patient and friendly councillor who gave me some very useful tools to manage my anxiety. I came away from my sessions feeling more confident and at peace.
