About Cierra

Cierra Batiste is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance concerns, and related life stresses. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping clients move toward clearer daily routines and better coping skills.

She brings 13 years of counseling experience and a background that includes work in behavioral health settings and private practice. Cierra trained and gained early clinical experience while attending undergraduate and graduate school in Tennessee. She also holds national credentialing and is working toward additional supervisory qualifications while enrolled in a doctoral program.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools. That means she pays attention to each person's story, and then helps identify thoughts, habits, and small steps that can change how someone feels and acts. She also uses mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions.

Cierra has experience with trauma, substance use, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression, and a range of relationship and behavioral issues. She supports people coping with grief, career stress, sleep and eating struggles, and obsessive or process-related behaviors.

Outside work she enjoys outdoor activities and trying new restaurants, and she brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to the therapy room.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that match what matters to the person. It can help with depression, anxiety, and stuck habits by shifting attention from unhelpful thoughts to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, moods, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep, and some eating or compulsive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice present-moment experience and reduce reactivity, which can ease strong emotions and improve sleep and impulse control.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and try techniques that fit those needs. If something does not feel helpful, it can be adjusted or combined with other methods so the plan matches the client’s life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and can be more convenient for scheduling around work or family commitments. Confirm current session formats before booking so you know which options are available, and discuss practical needs like preferred session length and timing during the first meeting.
