About Cecilia
Cecilia Clowdus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strain, substance issues, and sudden life changes. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier week to week.
Cecilia draws on several well-established approaches to tailor each session to a person's needs. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills.
How Cecilia works
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them. Sessions are collaborative and paced by the client. Cecilia listens for patterns coming from family of origin, grief, or abandonment and helps people find small, concrete changes that reduce overwhelm.
She also works with issues like body image, codependency, and compassion fatigue in focused ways. People dealing with mood instability, ADHD symptoms, or eating and substance concerns will find practical strategies and emotion regulation skills in sessions. Treatment plans aim for usable tools that fit daily life rather than complex jargon.
Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules. The intake process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling, and subscriptions can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then take actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and meaning-seeking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more helpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, mood issues, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and shifting strong emotional responses, which can be helpful for people working on relationship patterns and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques from these approaches as needed. This means the plan can change over time if something else seems to fit better.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins or on-the-go reflections between calls.
