About Cierra
Cierra Batiste is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and career issues.
Cierra blends straightforward, skills-based work with a person-centered approach. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and mindfulness-informed strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions focus on clear steps and manageable practice between meetings.
Her background includes early training and clinical work in Tennessee and ongoing roles in Texas. She has worked in settings that involved trauma, depression, and substance-related concerns, and she currently divides time between private practice and a behavioral hospital directorship.
Cierra is a doctoral student in a counselor education and supervision program and is working toward a supervision license. That ongoing study informs her interest in applied, evidence-informed techniques and in helping people set realistic, observable goals.
Outside of clinical work she spends free time outdoors and exploring restaurants and cultures. She conducts sessions in English and bases treatment on practical steps a person can use in daily life.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practicing different responses. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some behavior concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting entangled in them and clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help with distress that comes from avoidance and with building meaningful routines.
She also uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person’s perspective and goals. That approach supports clear planning and stepwise skill practice rather than long, abstract discussion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. They may try one technique and adjust based on what is helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can reduce travel time, make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, and allow focused, practical check-ins. Some people prefer shorter phone check-ins for brief updates, while others use video for skills practice and role play. Discuss format preferences when scheduling to find what fits in your routine.
