Carisa Givens

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hello,
My name is Carisa Bustillos Givens, and I have been counseling clients from a wide range of backgrounds for the past 15 years. I am a Professional Counselor licensed in Texas, focused on providing assistance with a wide range of concerns, including crisis, grief, loss and career counseling services and specializing in work and career-related stress, family challenges, blended families, women’s and parents’ issues, and mediation services. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating every individual with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused counseling, and I will tailor our communication and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

You are courageous for seeking and working towards a more fulfilling and happier life. Sometimes taking the first steps towards a change can cause anxiety or nervousness. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For commonly experienced concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions – remote therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that best suits them: video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, accessible path to addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
