Brandi Lightsey

Pearland, Texas - Clinical Social Worker
Online

As a therapist licensed in TX, TN and VA, I bring over 15 years of experience working in mental health across crisis intervention and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings. Throughout my career, I have provided therapy to individuals navigating acute distress, complex diagnoses, and life-altering transitions. My work has placed me on the front lines of the mental health system, where I’ve seen firsthand both its potential to help and the ways it can overwhelm and fail the people it’s meant to serve. I am a strong advocate for my clients. I believe therapy should be collaborative, transparent, and grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience. Many of my clients come to me feeling confused, unheard, or worn down by the psychiatric system. I help them make sense of that chaos — whether that means understanding diagnoses, navigating treatment options, or reclaiming a sense of agency in their care. Many individuals living with grief find comfort in working with a therapist who brings both professional training and personal understanding to the therapeutic space. I experienced the sudden loss of my brother as a young adult and later supported a close friend throughout a multi-year cancer journey. These experiences shaped my deep respect for the complexity of grief, resilience, and the emotional impact of life-altering transitions. While each person’s path is unique, I strive to offer a grounded, compassionate presence where clients feel supported, understood, and never alone in their healing process.

Fe Cooper

Pearland, Texas - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online
In Person

Hi, I'm Fe Cooper! I'm a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist with over 9 years of experience in the mental health field. My training and background have allowed me to work with children, adolescents, and adults, supporting them through challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, emotional regulation, and life transitions. In my work, I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, and I also integrate tools from the Grief Recovery Method. These methods allow me to help clients process emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build practical skills that support healing and growth. In a typical session, clients can expect a warm, compassionate, and collaborative space. We'll focus on your goals, explore the thoughts and emotions you're experiencing, and practice strategies tailored to your unique needs. Sessions often combine processing deeper emotions with developing concrete skills for resilience and day-to-day coping. I measure success by the progress you feel in your own life—whether that's experiencing relief from symptoms, building healthier coping strategies, feeling more in control of your emotions, or reconnecting with a sense of purpose and hope. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you uncover clarity and strength as you move toward the life you want to build.

Cicely Betts

Pearland, Texas - Clinical Social Worker
Online

Howdy!! 🤠 I’m Cicely Betts, a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker proudly serving the state of Texas. I’m a proud graduate of the prestigious HBCU, Dillard University in New Orleans, LA (Class of 2005, B.A. in Business Management) and earned my Master of Social Work from the remarkable University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work (GCSW) in 2012. With training across several evidence-based treatment modalities, I tailor each session to fit the individual needs of my clients. My experience has allowed me to work with individuals, couples, families, and groups—each with their own unique story and goals. Together, we’ll identify what you want to achieve and create a plan to get you there, because I firmly believe you are the expert on your own life. My communication style is honest, direct, compassionate, and laced with a good dose of wit—because growth doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold. I love helping clients strengthen their self-awareness, communication, and relationships so they can live the lives they truly deserve. Outside the therapy room, I’m intentional about maintaining a healthy work/life balance that gives me space to recharge and create. I love spending time with my family and friends and equally value my moments of solitude (yes, you can absolutely do both!). My creative side comes alive through drawing, writing, and designing functional tools that make both personal and professional life more organized, fulfilling, and fun. At my core, I believe we all carry the power within us to heal, grow, and live our best lives—and it’s my privilege to help you tap into that power. 🌿

Shannon Samuel

Pearland, Texas - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online
In Person

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist who helps people work through life’s challenges—whether it’s stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I have a master’s degree in counseling and years of experience supporting people from all walks of life. I also help caregivers, helpers, and those who are used to being strong for everyone else finally have a space to focus on themselves. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and real. I’m not here to judge or give generic advice. I’ll meet you where you are, listen closely, and help you better understand what you’re feeling and why. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to build habits and mindsets that support the life you want. In our sessions, we’ll talk about things that matter to you at your pace. I use proven tools that can help you manage emotions, make sense of your thoughts, and feel more in control—even when life is hard. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, feel safe, and make lasting changes that feel good—not forced. If you’re curious about therapy but not sure what to expect, that’s okay. You don’t have to have all the answers to get started. I’d be honored to walk with you as you find your way forward.
