Specialist care by secure video, with no drive from Tyler, Longview, Lufkin, Nacogdoches or Texarkana.

In smaller East Texas towns, privacy matters, and a local waiting room can feel very public. Online therapy with Layers Counseling Specialists happens from home, with specialists in OCD, anxiety, ADHD, autism, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and trauma. We work with children, teens and adults in Tyler, Longview, Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Texarkana, Marshall and the piney woods in between, using treatments 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.

There’s no drive at all. From Tyler or Longview, specialty care has often meant two hours each way to Dallas, and from Lufkin or Texarkana it’s even farther. With online therapy, your appointment happens at home. All you need is a private space and an internet connection. If you’re ever in Dallas-Fort Worth, our Plano office at 8105 Rasor Blvd., Suite 206 is open to you.
Sessions happen by secure video from wherever you have privacy, and evening times are available. Families can join from home with kids and teens, and parents can do SPACE sessions on their own.
For most people, yes. Research shows online treatment for OCD and anxiety works about as well as in person, and it saves you hours on the road.
All of them, from Tyler and Longview to Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Texarkana, Marshall and small rural towns, as long as you’re in Texas for each session.
Online sessions let you meet from a private space you choose. We protect your confidentiality and explain its legal limits at the start. As a private-pay practice, we don’t send your information to an insurance company.
Yes. School-age kids and teens often do well on video with structured treatment. For younger children, much of the work happens with parents through SPACE or parent coaching.
We’re a private-pay practice, so we don’t send your information to an insurance company. 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.
Yes. Our therapists are licensed in Texas, so we can meet by secure video with anyone located in the state, from Tyler to Texarkana.
