Maybe you’ve gotten really good at being who you’re supposed to be.

Following the rules. Taking care of everyone else. Trying harder. Being good. Keeping it together.

And maybe you’re tired.

You don’t have to hold it together anymore.

**Therapy can be a place to stop performing and start figuring out what you actually need.**

At Joyfully You Counseling, I help people understand themselves, trust themselves, and build lives that feel more like their own.

Hi, I’m Carlee.

My approach is warm, curious, direct, and occasionally irreverent. There will probably be laughter. There may be song lyrics. There will definitely not be an expectation that you perform therapy correctly.

I use person-centered therapy along with ACT, DBT, expressive arts, Brainspotting, and Enneagram-informed self-awareness as the tools, but more than anything, I want you to feel like you can show up here as yourself.

The polished version. The messy version. The version who has no freaking idea what’s going on.

All of you is welcome.

In-Person And Online Therapy

You don’t have to become someone different to feel better.

I offer warm, person-centered therapy that makes room for the hard stuff, the weird stuff, the I’ve-never-said-this-out-loud-before stuff—and plenty of laughing, too.

I also love working with people who are simply navigating the messiness of being human—life transitions, relationships, anxiety, identity, becoming a parent, figuring out what’s next, or realizing that the way you’ve been doing things just isn’t working anymore.

You don’t need to fit neatly into one of my specialties to belong here. These are just a few areas I’m especially passionate about:

Disordered Eating & Body Image

Food and your body shouldn’t have to take up this much brain space.

Whether you’re navigating disordered eating, body-image struggles, years of dieting, or feeling completely overwhelmed by a world that seems obsessed with shrinking, we can work toward more freedom, flexibility, and trust in your body.

Religious Trauma

You are allowed to ask the questions you were told not to ask.

Therapy can give you space to explore religious trauma, deconstruction, shame, grief, identity, boundaries, and what you actually believe—without me deciding what the answers should be.

In-person and online therapy for neurodivergence in Dallas, TX

Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy

What if you stopped trying to be better at being someone else?

I work with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), and other neurodivergent experiences from an affirming perspective. We’re not trying to make you more neurotypical. We’re figuring out how your brain works and how to build a life that works with it.

Looking for something other than therapy?

Not everything requires therapy.

Sometimes you just need practical support, accountability, education, or another person in your corner.

In-person coaching for teens and young adults in Dallas, TX

Coaching for Teens & Young Adults

Knowing what you’re supposed to do and actually being able to do the thing are two very different experiences.

I offer practical coaching and mentoring for teens and young adults around executive functioning, school, goals, relationships, self-advocacy, and increasing independence.

Workshops and education for parents in Dallas, TX

Workshops & Parent Education

Sometimes parents don’t need therapy. They need someone to explain what the hell they’re supposed to do next.

I offer practical, connection-focused education for parents and caregivers, including my autonomy-supportive approach to potty learning.

The goal isn’t perfect parenting or perfectly compliant kids. It’s more understanding, more connection, and more confidence in supporting the actual kid in front of you.

Think we might vibe?

You don’t have to know exactly what you need before reaching out.
We can talk about what’s going on, what you’re looking for, and whether I might be the right person to help.
Therapy is available in person in Oak Cliff, Dallas and virtually throughout Texas.

Do you accept insurance?

I am out-of-network with all insurances, but can provide you with a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. It is your responsibility to check your out-of-network benefits and submit all paperwork to your insurance.

What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?

Therapy focuses on healing and helps you process past experiences, trauma, patterns, and emotions that may be impacting your present.

Coaching is more future-focused. It centers on goals, motivation, and practical steps forward, without addressing deeper mental health or trauma-related concerns.

Where do we meet?

All sessions (excluding in person workshops) are conducted via an online HIPAA compliant Telehealth platform.

What can I expect from therapy?

At Joyfully You, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be fully yourself. Therapy is gentle, trauma-informed, and guided by your pace. Together we’ll explore your story with curiosity and care, helping you understand yourself more fully and accept yourself more deeply. We will help you identify your own wants, needs, and desires and develop ways for you to care for yourself with greater compassion.

What modalities or techniques do you use?

My work is rooted in a person-centered approach, meaning our relationship and your lived experience guide everything we do. I believe you already carry deep wisdom, and my role is to create a safe, supportive space where that can emerge.

I also integrate tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Brainspotting, the Enneagram, and expressive arts. These modalities allow us to gently explore emotions, build coping skills, access deeper healing, and better understand your inner world. Together, we use what fits best for you, your nervous system, and your goals.
