Wherever you are in Texas, we'd love to work with you. At Layers Counseling Specialists, you get the same specialist clinicians and evidence-based care we offer in our Plano office, just delivered by secure video from wherever feels comfortable to you. We're not a general counseling practice. Every one of our clinicians has advanced training in a specific area, whether that's OCD (using ERP and I-CBT), anxiety and panic, ADHD, autism, ARFID, or trauma, and that focus is all we do. Online sessions make that kind of specialized care reachable no matter where you live, so it doesn't matter if you're in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, Lubbock, or a small town hours from the nearest OCD-trained therapist. We work with children, teens, and adults, and when a child is too anxious to attend therapy themselves, our parent-based SPACE program runs entirely through you. And if you're wondering whether online therapy really works, it does. For OCD, anxiety, and neurodivergence, the research shows it's just as effective as being in the room together.
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.

The best part? There's no drive at all. We meet with clients by secure, HIPAA-compliant video anywhere in Texas, from Dallas-Fort Worth to Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and everywhere in between. All you need is a private space and an internet connection. Of course, if you're near our Plano office at 8105 Rasor Blvd., Suite 206 and would rather come see us in person, you're always welcome. Every service we offer works beautifully online too, with the same clinicians and the same care behind it.
We know that finding specialized therapy for OCD, ARFID, or anxiety can feel almost impossible outside the big metros. So many Texans end up driving hours or settling for general counseling that just isn't built for what they're facing. That's exactly the gap we wanted to close. Whether you're a college student in Austin, a parent in the Rio Grande Valley, or a professional in Houston, you can work with the same experienced specialists our Plano clients see, all from the comfort of home. It's the same caring, evidence-based support, available to you anywhere in Texas.
Prefer to meet online? We offer virtual therapy anywhere in Texas →It really is. Research consistently shows that telehealth ERP for OCD and video-based therapy for anxiety work just as well as meeting in person. And for OCD especially, doing your exposures right at home, where a lot of the triggers actually live, can make the work even more meaningful. You'll get the same proven approaches, the same specialists, and the same warm, structured support you'd find in our office.
Anywhere in the state. Our clinicians are licensed in Texas, so we can see any Texas resident by secure video — Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, the Rio Grande Valley, and every town in between. If you live in Texas, we can work with you.
Absolutely. Both ERP for OCD and exposure-based ARFID work translate really well to video. In fact, doing exposures in your own real environment, like your kitchen, your bathroom, or with your own food, often makes the work even more effective. Your clinician is right there with you the whole time, guiding and encouraging you through each step, just like they would in the office.
Yes, we work with children, teens, and adults. For younger kids, we adapt playful, developmentally appropriate approaches for video, and parents stay closely involved throughout. And if your child is feeling too anxious to attend therapy at all, our parent-based SPACE program works entirely through you and is available fully online.
Not much at all, just a private space, a device with a camera, and a stable internet connection. Sessions run on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, so there's no special software to install. We'll send you a simple link before each appointment, and you're all set.
We're a private-pay practice, and we provide superbills you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement. We offer two pricing tiers, our experienced specialists and lower-cost supervised clinicians, along with sliding-scale options to help make care more accessible. Getting started is easy. Just book a free 15-minute video consultation with the clinician you'd actually be working with, and if it feels like a good fit, we'll get your first online session scheduled, often within the same week.
