About Priscilla

Priscilla McLemore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people navigate stressful periods and major life changes. She creates a calm space where a worried parent can speak plainly about hard things. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way and build simple, workable steps toward steadier days.

She combines practical skills with steady support. Priscilla uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

She also draws on mindfulness and emotion-focused strategies to help people notice feelings and respond instead of react. Priscilla trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she earned a Master’s in Counseling after completing a Bachelor’s in Psychology.

She also holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, which adds a practical problem-solving perspective to her work. Over eleven years of practice, she has worked with people managing grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting stress, and relationship concerns.

Her background includes additional focus areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues around sexual expression and kink. Therapy with Priscilla emphasizes clear steps, gentle reflection, and real-world coping skills. She supports clients who want to change patterns, rebuild after loss, or handle daily pressures with more confidence.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Texas and international clients. Priscilla uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. If someone is ready to try a different way of coping, she helps set goals and practices new habits between sessions.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people feel heard. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies what matters most, and supports personal goals rather than imposing solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to change patterns that cause distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stress.

Priscilla aims to match methods to each person. She discusses different approaches and works together with clients to choose what fits their needs and goals. That collaborative process helps shape session focus, homework between meetings, and how progress is measured.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit support into busy family schedules, travel, or different time zones. The variety of formats also allows for short check-ins, longer weekly sessions, and ongoing skill practice between meetings.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
