Dr. Walker is an amazing therapist. When I was at my lowest point she did not judge, instead she asked the right questions to make analyze the actions behind my behaviors. I especially love that she shares my belief values and faith in Jesus Christ, definitely eases off the stereotypes of Therapists!

More about Mary

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas and have been in the field for 10+ years. I have never failed to be fascinated with people, with their stories, and with their ability to overcome their circumstances and find the peace they desire. I was an art teacher in high school for many years. That opportunity presented me with experience in learning about the heart of a young person. I worked in several churches as a mentor and learned the need for skills people lacked in order to overcome their past and move forward into a healthy life. As a counselor, I saw the amazing struggles that people are grappling with as they tried to tackle each day. I believe that a counselor can be the helper who will walk along side of a person on their journey to healing.

I completed my Masters in counseling at the Houston Graduate School of Theology, then went on to Texas A&M Corpus Christi to complete a Ph.D. I have also extended my studies to include many techniques for working with trauma/PTSD, personality disorders, grief, disassociation, depression, OCD, transition issues, and anxiety. I have been involved with many survivors of childhood abuse, those struggling with life issues in their relationships, their workplace, and in society in general. Fear, anger, and frustration are often crippling to a healthy, productive life.

I like to work with people in a person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and in dialectic behavioral therapy. These therapies all offer a gentle and caring approach. They will allow you to be open in a safe environment and the ability to explore what will best work for you, the individual.

I consider the people I’ve talked with and walked with in this journey of life to be among the strongest people on earth. They are willing to step out of their problems and seek a better, healthier life. It’s hard work, but it is worth it.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Dr. Walker is a blessing. In a short period of time, she helped me with something that I’d been dealing with for years and years. I honestly felt hopeless leading up to our first session.

I have been working with Dr. Walker weekly for about eight months now and I can’t believe how far I’ve come. My issues were mostly with family dynamics, and I can honestly say that she excels in this department. Her kindness really shines through. She is very good at phrasing things in ways that challenges my perceptions and helps me land on changes that need to be made. She also gave me exact tools and strategies to help me feel more positive about myself and my situation. I am forever grateful!

After only a few sessions, i would say that Dr. Walker is extremely personable and that she understands the reasons why i signed up for talk therapy. Her life experience makes her a good therapist for people like me who are facing decisions involving growing older, and her religious background may also come in handy when we address questions of meaning and spirituality. Our first sessions have focused on teasing apart issues that need to be addressed.
