Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi there. I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor – Supervisor in Texas. My specialty is runaway emotions – whether grief, despair, shame, helplessness, guilt, loneliness, or one I haven’t mentioned – it really doesn’t matter which emotion it is. We’ve all gotten into ruts where it seems like life is happening to us and we’re getting tossed around in the currents, unable to stop what’s happening. Those times, when we’re overmatched and unable to regulate ourselves, can lead to trauma that affects us for years, if not the rest of our lives. My entire professional career has involved developing and testing therapy protocols for healing those exact situations. They’ve proven affective in a wide range of settings, across a wide range of presenting problems, throughout the age range of 4-104.
I especially enjoy working with those who consider themselves “too sensitive” or have been told by others they are too sensitive. There’s no such thing as “too sensitive.” You are just as sensitive as you are, and that’s perfect. Though it may not feel like it, you’re actually ahead of the crowd. Let me show you how to use your sensitivity as a tool instead of a weakness. That way, others’ emotions will no longer torment you. Just draining your systems of others’ emotions will make your life more bearable. Then we can get to what you want your life to look like now that you’re not so overwhelmed.

Dr. Steven Brownlow is a licensed clinical psychologist and a licensed professional counselor with supervisory qualifications practicing in Texas. He brings 25 years of clinical experience to work with people who feel overwhelmed by powerful emotions.
His clinical focus is on what he calls runaway emotions – whether that looks like grief, despair, shame, helplessness, guilt, loneliness, or another intense feeling. He describes the experience of getting stuck in ruts where life feels like it is happening to you and you are being carried by currents you cannot control. Those moments, when emotional regulation fails, can produce trauma that affects a person for years.
Throughout his career Dr. Brownlow has developed and tested therapy protocols aimed specifically at healing those situations. He reports these approaches have proved effective across a variety of settings, with many different presenting problems, and across an age span from early childhood through late adulthood. He particularly enjoys working with people who consider themselves “too sensitive” or who have been told they are too sensitive. He rejects the idea of being “too sensitive,” and helps clients learn to use sensitivity as an asset rather than a liability so that others’ emotions no longer feel tormenting. By reducing the burden of absorbing others’ emotional states, clients can begin to imagine and shape the life they want once they are less overwhelmed.
Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For a wide range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
Online treatment also offers practical advantages in flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that fits their life and comfort level, choosing from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into a busy schedule.
All therapists referenced here are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, effective path to addressing everyday mental health concerns while accommodating life’s demands.
