About Mae
Rev. Mae Barree is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who offers a calm, respectful way to address stress and life changes. She greets people with a warm, nonjudgmental presence and listens closely to what matters most.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps instead of jargon. If someone is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what to try next, she helps sort priorities and choose simple strategies to try at home.
Background and approach
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep work concrete and actionable. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused work highlights strengths and small next steps that lead to noticeable change.
She also draws on Imago Relationship Therapy when communication patterns are central to the concern. Mae tailors a plan to each person and checks progress along the way. Meetings aim to identify one or two practical skills to practice between sessions.
She keeps explanations straightforward and teaches tools that can be used in day-to-day life. Mae has seven years of experience as an LPC and works in independent practice in Texas. She offers several formats for sessions so people can pick what fits their schedule and comfort level.
Her style is steady, encouraging, and focused on finding workable solutions. If someone is ready to take a step, she helps them organize next actions and build on small successes.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions and daily functioning. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical techniques to change responses to stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and small steps forward. Sessions concentrate on what is already working, building on strengths and setting focused tasks to try between meetings. This approach is often useful when people want quick, actionable strategies.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Plans are reviewed and adjusted together so work stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy lives. These options allow for continuity when schedules shift or travel is necessary, and they offer different ways to communicate depending on comfort and situation. The aim is to keep therapy practical, accessible, and focused on real changes people can use every day.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
