If you live in West Texas, you already know how far away specialized mental health care can feel. Families in El Paso, Lubbock, Midland, Odessa, Amarillo, Abilene, and San Angelo often face a choice between general counseling nearby or a true specialist hours away. Online therapy with Layers Counseling Specialists closes that distance. You meet by secure video with the same clinicians our Plano families see, each one trained in a specific area like OCD (using ERP and I-CBT), anxiety and panic, ADHD, autism, ARFID, or trauma, without ever leaving home.
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, and in West Texas that matters more than almost anywhere. The nearest therapist with real ERP training for OCD or specialized ARFID experience can be hundreds of miles from towns like Alpine, Fort Stockton, or Pecos, and even in El Paso or Lubbock the options for this kind of specialty care are limited. With telehealth, your appointment is as close as your kitchen table. All you need is a private space and an internet connection, and a phone or tablet works just fine. And if travel ever brings you to Dallas-Fort Worth, our Plano office at 8105 Rasor Blvd., Suite 206 is always open to you.
Small towns come with a closeness that's wonderful, right up until you need therapy and the only counselor in town knows your family, your boss, and your church. Online sessions give you real privacy. No waiting room run-ins, no explaining your car in a parking lot, just a quiet conversation from home. We work with children, teens, and adults across West Texas, and when a child is too anxious to attend sessions themselves, our parent-based SPACE program runs entirely through you. It's the same warm, evidence-based care our DFW families get, available wherever you are.
It is. Research consistently shows that telehealth ERP for OCD and video-based therapy for anxiety, ADHD, and autism support work just as well as meeting in the same room. And for many West Texas families it works better in practice, because the alternative isn't a specialist across town, it's a specialist across the state. You get proven, structured care without the six-hour round trip.
Yes. Our clinicians are licensed in Texas, so we can work with anyone in the state by secure video. That includes El Paso, Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland, Odessa, Abilene, San Angelo, Wichita Falls, and every small town in between. If you live in Texas, we can see you.
Absolutely, and often beautifully. Exposure work happens where your triggers actually live, which is usually your own home, not a therapy office. Doing ERP in your real kitchen or bathroom, or ARFID work with your own food at your own table, makes the progress more meaningful. Your clinician guides you through every step, live on video.
We do, from young children through teens and adults. Our child specialists adapt playful, developmentally appropriate approaches for video, and parents stay closely involved. If your child refuses therapy altogether, our SPACE program works entirely through you as the parent, and it's fully online.
Sessions run on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform that works on an ordinary home connection, and a smartphone with a decent signal handles it well. There's nothing to install. We'll send a simple link before each appointment, and if a connection ever drops mid-session, we just pick right back up.
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.
