About Cierra
Cierra Batiste is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. She offers straightforward support for people feeling stuck after trauma, struggling with addictive behaviors, or coping with relationship and career strain. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on daily life changes rather than long abstract talks.
Cierra uses a person-centered approach paired with cognitive behavioral tools to look at patterns that lead to painful emotions and unhelpful behaviors.
Background and approach
She encourages small, concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas are woven in to help people notice thoughts and make values-based choices. Her background includes work in behavioral health settings and a independent practice in Dallas, Texas.
She has about 13 years of counseling experience and has worked with people facing trauma, depression, and substance use challenges. Cierra is also pursuing doctoral study and additional supervisory training to broaden her clinical skills. In sessions she focuses on collaboration and clear goals.
People can expect a mix of listening, skill teaching, and setting practical homework. The aim is to reduce daily distress, improve relationships, and increase confidence in handling difficult emotions like anger. Outside of work she enjoys outdoor activities and trying new restaurants, interests she brings up to help build rapport and normal conversation in sessions.

Approach and online options for real-life change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take action toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger when avoidance keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with mood, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, which can help with stress and impulse control.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches and adjust over time based on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or a way to stay engaged between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
