About Cecelia

Cecelia Maurer is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She brings 14 years of counseling experience and keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Her tone is warm and respectful, with an emphasis on real-world strategies parents and caregivers can use between sessions.

Cecelia works with individuals on topics such as family and relationship issues, self-esteem, coping with change, compassion fatigue, anger, career challenges, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and issues tied to aging and illness. She communicates plainly and tailors conversations to each person’s situation. Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

That mix allows her to focus on values and acceptance, offer empathetic listening, identify emotional patterns, and build practical steps for change. Sessions often center on setting achievable goals and trying small experiments between meetings. Cecelia offers appointments in Texas and works with clients in English.

She has experience in counseling and academic coaching and has been an instructor in higher education. Her LPC credential is TX LPC 61673. She aims to make starting therapy clear and simple: complete a short matching questionnaire, schedule a time, and begin working on specific concerns.

The approach is collaborative, with attention to what matters most to each person.

Online approaches that fit real family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and respect, creating a space to talk through concerns and feel understood while deciding next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cecelia will collaborate with each client to decide which methods make sense based on goals and daily life. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about what is helping and what needs to change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, handle caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity when routines shift. Licensed professionals can use these formats to meet regularly, set focused goals, and try practical exercises between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
