Artrevisa Payton, LICSW, LCSW - Therapist in Texas

About Artrevisa

Artrevisa Payton is a licensed social worker with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Texas and offers a calm, conversational approach that helps people who feel overwhelmed by life’s changes. She introduces therapy in plain language and listens first to understand each person’s situation.

Her style is relaxed and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps toward them. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and related concerns.

Background and approach

Payton has worked in long-term care and outpatient settings, supporting adults and older adults with mood concerns and conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. That background shapes a steady, compassionate way of working with issues around aging, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and isolation.

In a session she often helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try new coping strategies, and set short-term, achievable goals. She also emphasizes communication skills and forgiveness when family or relationship tensions are present. Therapy is offered in multiple online formats to fit different schedules and comfort levels.

People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening without judgment. It helps people feel heard and understood so they can begin to identify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as issues evolve.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and personal preferences. These options make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between meetings, and get steady support without extra travel. Licensed professionals can use the different formats to focus on conversation, teach coping tools, and follow progress in ways that suit each person.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
