Maria “Antoinette” Walker, LPC, LMHC

Maria “Antoinette” Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and practices from Texas.

Walker uses clear, structured techniques to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. She focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations are direct and goal-oriented, with attention to motivation and skills that reduce overwhelm.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and narrative approaches help people name experiences and change the stories they tell about themselves.

Clients who come for addiction concerns or relapse prevention can expect a focus on motivation and behavior change. For trauma-related concerns she combines skill-building with attention to how past events affect present thinking and actions. She pays particular attention to issues like abandonment, attachment patterns, and impulse control when they are part of someone’s difficulties.

Walker aims to set clear steps each week and to help people practice new responses in daily life. She asks clients to try small experiments and then review what worked.
