About Cicely
Cicely draws on eight years of experience to shape each session around the person in front of her. She mixes talk therapy with goal-setting and problem-solving. Sessions often include work on communication, managing stress and anxiety, coping with loss, and tending to identity and self-worth concerns.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work and a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management from Dillard University. Cicely notes experience with trauma, relationship issues, addiction concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling among her focus areas.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, and a client-centered attitude. She aims to help people clarify values, notice unhelpful patterns, and try practical changes in daily life.
Outside clinical work she values downtime with family, creative projects like drawing and writing, and designing tools that help people stay organized. Cicely emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and she helps make a realistic plan to reach them.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer on their values and take small steps toward a meaningful life even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so clients lead the pace and focus of each session.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cicely will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. She tailors interventions so the work feels useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use focused exercises, values work, and cognitive strategies effectively through remote sessions, and Cicely will help adapt techniques to match the way you prefer to meet.
