life feels heavy at the moment,
but you don’t have to carry it alone.
You’re pushing through and trying to move forward, but somehow the same cycles keep circling back and popping up…
The overthinking.
The second-guessing.
The numbing out.
The feeling of “being behind.”
It’s exhausting.
Maybe you wonder if the past already decided your future.
Maybe you feel like you should have figured it out by now.
But here’s the truth: your pain does not define you.
Your struggles are not your whole story, and you don’t have to figure any of this out alone.
You’re ready for clarity, healing, and spiritual reconnection, even if part of you feels unsure where to begin.

I’m here to help with:
Offering virtual Christian counseling across Texas, including Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and surrounding areas.
You’re doing everything you can to keep up, yet it still feels like you’re falling short.
You’re juggling work, responsibilities, relationships, and expectations, yet inside, it feels like you’re barely holding it together. The overthinking won’t stop. The pressure feels suffocating.
You’re tired of the comparison game.
You scroll through everyone’s highlight reels and feel more behind, more overwhelmed, and more disconnected. Deep down, you’re craving something real: a life that feels meaningful, grounded, and aligned with who God created you to be.
Sound familiar?
You feel like it’s never enough.
Anxiety leaves you overwhelmed and drained.
You’re going through the motions but feel something is missing.
You feel spiritually dry or disconnected.
You wonder if anyone else feels this way.
You’re not alone; you don’t have to untangle this by yourself.
Therapy is a safe and grounded space where you can release what you’ve been carrying, explore what’s beneath the surface, and build emotional and spiritual foundations that truly last.
welcome to a space where you can finally exhale.
Hi — I’m Lauren Giles, LPC
I’m a therapist who loves Jesus, and I offer faith-based, Christ-centered therapy. My faith quietly shapes the way I see people, healing, and the work we do together. At the same time, you don’t have to have it all figured out spiritually to be here. Whether your faith feels strong, distant, confusing, or even nonexistent right now, you are welcome in this space.
I offer faith-based therapy for anxiety, relationship struggles, and emotional healing for women and young adults.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, or just tired of carrying everything on your own, you’re not alone. Many of the women I work with struggle with overthinking, relationship stress, past wounds, and feeling disconnected from themselves or from God.
My heart is to create a space where you can be fully honest without fear of judgment. A space where you don’t have to perform, hold it all together, or have the “right” answers.
Our work together will gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface, helping you understand your patterns, process your emotions, and begin to experience real, lasting change. If your faith matters to you, we can invite God into that process. If you’re unsure, we can simply start where you are.
I believe healing happens in safe, honest connection and that there is more peace, clarity, and freedom available to you than you may feel right now.
You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
Therapy with me is about remembering who you are.
Together, we’ll explore what’s really going on beneath the surface and begin creating new emotional and spiritual pathways forward, ones aligned with your faith, values, identity, and purpose.
If you’re longing for clarity, peace, stability, and reconnection with God, let’s begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions *
-
No, you do not need to be a Christian to work with me. I welcome anyone who wants a safe, compassionate space to heal, grow, and process what they’re carrying. I offer therapy through a Christian and biblical lens for those who want that approach, but I always meet you where you are. My role is to support you with respect, kindness, and clarity, not pressure or judgment.
-
Yes. Although my practice primarily serves women, teens, and young adults, I work with men on a case-by-case basis. I most often support men navigating relationship concerns, anxiety, grief, faith-related questions, emotional growth, and major life transitions.
My therapeutic style is relational and insight-oriented, which tends to be a good fit for men who are open to self-reflection and meaningful change. If you’re considering therapy and want to discern whether this approach aligns with your needs, a consultation is the best next step.
-
Christian counseling integrates evidence-based therapy with biblical truth, spiritual insight, and Christ-centered guidance. Together, we explore your emotional and mental health while also looking at what Scripture teaches about identity, purpose, relationships, and healing. This approach supports the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. It is designed to feel grounding, hope-filled, and deeply aligned with your faith.
-
Therapy is an investment because it supports long-term healing, emotional stability, spiritual growth, and healthier relationships. You are not paying for a conversation. You are investing in tools, insight, and transformation that shape your future and help you become the person God created you to be. My practice is private pay, which allows for complete privacy and personalized, faith-centered care without any limitations from insurance. Payment is made at the time of each session, and we will discuss your goals so you always feel supported and confident in the process.
-
Yes. Research shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for most people. Online counseling offers the same support, tools, and therapeutic connection while giving you more flexibility, privacy, and comfort. Many clients feel more open and relaxed in their own environment, which allows us to go deeper at a pace that feels safe.
-
Therapy is right for you if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. You may be struggling with relationships, identity, faith, self-confidence, family patterns, or life transitions that feel heavy and confusing.
If you are longing for clarity, support, emotional healing, or a deeper connection with God, therapy can give you the tools and space to grow. You do not need to be in crisis to begin. Therapy is a proactive and supportive investment in your well-being and spiritual health.
