Cecilia Clowdus, LPC

Cecilia Clowdus is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice and focuses on practical steps clients can use each week.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Cecilia listens for what matters most and works with clients to set small, achievable goals. Sessions tend to focus on building coping skills, improving relationships, and addressing mood or impulse challenges.

Cecilia uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change unhelpful behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to strengthen values-based choices and self-awareness. These approaches are woven together to match each person’s needs.

She has worked with concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, attention challenges, addictions, eating and body-image issues, and grief. Cecilia also supports people dealing with codependency, family-of-origin struggles, guilt, and forgiveness work.

Practical work in sessions can include skill practice, gentle exposure to difficult memories, boundary-setting, and problem-solving around daily routines. Cecilia aims to help people leave sessions with something useful to try before the next meeting. Her approach is steady, focused, and aimed at real-world change.

How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete exercises and homework to practice between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. That approach can help with avoidance, low motivation, and decision-making under stress.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead. It supports self-understanding and helps people feel heard as they work through tough topics.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Cecilia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful in sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill coaching, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat work well for quick check-ins or shorter skill practice. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
