Families in the Rio Grande Valley shouldn't have to drive to San Antonio or Houston to find a therapist who truly specializes in OCD, anxiety, ADHD, autism, or ARFID. With Layers Counseling Specialists, you don't have to. From McAllen and Edinburg to Harlingen, Brownsville, and everywhere across the Valley, you can meet by secure video with the same specialist clinicians our Plano families see. Every clinician on our team has advanced training in one specific area, and that focus is exactly what makes the difference when general counseling hasn't been enough.
We specialize in OCD (including ERP and I-CBT), anxiety disorders, ADHD, autism, ARFID, eating disorders, and trauma — for children as young as 3, teens, and adults.
There's no drive at all. The Valley has real strengths in primary care and general counseling, but specialty care for things like OCD, ARFID, and autism-related anxiety usually means a four-to-five-hour trip north. Telehealth removes that entirely. You need a private space, an internet connection, and a device with a camera, and a phone or tablet works just fine. We serve the whole region, including Laredo and Corpus Christi, and if you're ever up in Dallas-Fort Worth, our Plano office at 8105 Rasor Blvd., Suite 206 welcomes you.
Family is at the center of life in the Valley, and it's at the center of how we work too. Parents and grandparents are welcome partners in a child's care, and our parent-based SPACE program, which runs entirely through you when a child is too anxious for their own sessions, fits naturally with families who want to stay involved. Online sessions also mean real privacy in close-knit communities, no missed afternoons of school or work, and no one spending an evening on Highway 281 to get help. It's the same warm, evidence-based care we give every family, wherever in Texas you are.
It is. Studies consistently show that telehealth ERP for OCD and video-based treatment for anxiety work just as well as in-person sessions. For Valley families, online care usually means starting with a true specialist in days instead of driving hours or waiting months, and starting sooner with the right approach is what makes the biggest difference.
All of them. Our clinicians are licensed in Texas, so we can meet with anyone in the state by secure video, including McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Harlingen, Brownsville, Weslaco, Laredo, and Corpus Christi. If you live in Texas, we can work with you.
Yes. Exposure-based work for OCD and ARFID translates wonderfully to video, because the most meaningful exposures happen in your real environment, with your own routines and your own food. Your clinician is right there on screen, guiding and encouraging every step, exactly as they would in the office.
We do. Children, teens, and adults are all part of our practice, and our child specialists adapt playful, age-appropriate methods for video. Parents stay closely involved at every stage. If your child is too anxious to attend sessions at all, our SPACE program supports them entirely through you, fully online.
Just a private space, a device with a camera, and a stable internet connection. Sessions run on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform with nothing to install. We send a simple link before each appointment. There's no waiting room and no one to run into, so your care stays completely between you and your clinician.
We're a private-pay practice, and we provide superbills you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement. We offer two pricing tiers, experienced specialists and lower-cost supervised clinicians, plus sliding-scale options to make care more accessible. Getting started is easy. Book a free 15-minute video consultation with the clinician you'd actually work with, and if it feels like a good fit, your first session can often happen within the week.
