Life doesn’t always go as planned. Stress can build quietly. Relationships may feel strained. Some days, you may simply feel stuck. That’s where online counseling becomes more than a name; it becomes a steady, meaningful source of support.
In fact, nearly 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience mental health challenges each year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
As Viktor Frankl wrote, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
Through compassionate, evidence-based online therapy in Texas, real and lasting change is possible. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed and need someone to talk to, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Take the first step with Families De Novo Counseling, and begin feeling more grounded, supported, and like yourself again.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC-S) with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. Here are some of my clients’ reviews.
“super kind and good listener, always loved her advice and way she worded things.”
“My experience with my therapist has been exceptional. She is patient, attentive, and highly skilled. She takes the time to understand what I’m going through and provides thoughtful, effective strategies that truly help in my daily life. Her support has made a meaningful difference in my mental health, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking genuine, compassionate care.”
“As someone who can sometimes be a bit delusional, I’ve found Felise to be incredibly helpful in my life. She never hesitates to give me her honest opinion when I ask, and she challenges me to think beyond my usual perspective—something I believe is essential in a therapist. She’s the first therapist whom I feel truly heard by, and I would definitely recommend her to other twenty-somethings.”
“I highly recommend Felise as a therapist! She has been amazing in helping me regain my self-worth and confidence while going through a horrible divorce. She leaves no stone unturned and is not afraid to ask you questions that will make you want to move forward and make improvements for yourself. She is compassionate and personable! She has been a guiding light for me in this awful time in my life due to divorce. She is definitely a good listener and gives great support!

FAQs
The first stage often appears as chronic stress and emotional overwhelm, where you feel constantly anxious, exhausted, or unable to cope with daily tasks.
There isn’t one definitive answer, but conditions like borderline personality disorder (BPD), severe depression, and schizophrenia are often considered very challenging due to their impact on daily functioning and relationships.
Extreme mood swings
Withdrawal from people or activities
Changes in sleep or appetite
Feeling hopeless or worthless
Difficulty concentrating
Increased anxiety or panic
Substance misuse
Talking about death or suicide
Unusual behaviour or confusion
Inability to perform daily tasks
The “2-year rule” commonly refers to ethical guidelines advising therapists not to engage in romantic or personal relationships with former clients for at least two years after therapy ends (and often discouraged entirely).
The 80/20 rule generally means counselors spend about 80% of their time in direct client care and 20% on administrative tasks, though this can vary by workplace and is not a strict legal requirement.
