Austin has plenty of therapists, but specialists in OCD, ARFID, and neurodivergence often have long waitlists. With Layers Counseling Specialists, you meet by secure video with a therapist who focuses on what you’re going through: OCD, anxiety and panic, ADHD, autism, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), or trauma. We work with University of Texas students, working adults, and families with kids of every age, using approaches with strong research behind them, like exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD.
We specialize in OCD (including ERP and I-CBT), anxiety disorders, ADHD, autism, ARFID, eating disorders, and trauma, working with children as young as 3, teens, and adults.
Sessions happen by secure, private video from anywhere in Texas, whether that’s an apartment near campus, a home office in Round Rock, or your kitchen table in Cedar Park. All you need is a private space and an internet connection, and a phone or tablet works fine.
Many of our Austin clients are adults who suspect ADHD or autism that was missed growing up, professionals managing OCD quietly at work, and students hitting a wall of anxiety mid-semester. We offer evening appointments, sensory-friendly sessions with no forced eye contact, and our parent-based program, SPACE, for parents of anxious kids.

We’re a private-pay practice. Because we don’t bill insurance, nothing goes on file with your insurance company unless you choose to submit a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. We accept HSA and FSA cards and offer two fee levels: our specialists and our focused clinicians, who are supervised by specialists and cost less. A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available too.
Book a free 15-minute video consult online, or call or text 214.444.8079. You’ll talk with the clinician you’d like to work with, and if it feels right, we’ll find a first appointment that fits your week.
