Life Transitions

Online Counseling for Life Transitions in Texas

Navigating Change, Loss, and New Beginnings

Has your life recently been shaken by a major change — a loss, divorce, move, job change, or relationship shift — and now you feel stuck, unsure, or emotionally overwhelmed? Maybe you thought you’d be able to “handle it,” but something about this transition feels heavier, longer, or lonelier than you expected.

You’re not alone. Research from the American Psychological Association shows that more than 60% of adults experience significant stress from major life changes each year, and the Holmes–Rahe Stress Scale ranks events like divorce, job loss, relocation, and death of a loved one among the top life stressors that can impact both mental and physical health. Even positive changes — like getting married, becoming a parent, or retiring — can trigger anxiety, loss of identity, or self-doubt.

I offer online life transition counseling to help you process these moments with clarity, compassion, and confidence. My goal is to help you adjust, grow, and find meaning again — no matter where life has taken you.

Common Life Transitions I Help With

Life transitions can be planned or unexpected, joyful or painful. In therapy, I work with clients experiencing:

  • Divorce, breakup, or infidelity recovery

  • Grief or loss after the death of a loved one

  • Retirement, relocation, or job loss

  • Marriage, parenting, or becoming an empty nester

  • Starting college or a new career

  • Chronic illness, disability, or changes in health

  • Faith, identity, or spiritual transitions

  • Gender or sexual identity exploration

  • Questioning purpose or meaning in life

According to studies from Harvard Health, individuals who seek emotional support during major life transitions report better overall well-being, improved resilience, and a quicker return to stability. Change can be one of life’s greatest teachers — but it doesn’t have to be something you face alone.

Why Change Feels So Hard

Even when we know change is coming, it often activates the brain’s stress response system, flooding us with anxiety and uncertainty. The body doesn’t always know the difference between good stress (like a promotion or new baby) and bad stress (like loss or illness). That’s why even positive changes can leave you feeling unsettled or exhausted.

Therapy provides a space to slow down, process what’s happening, and reconnect with your sense of control. Together, we’ll build tools to help you:

  • Manage stress and regulate emotions during change

  • Rebuild confidence and self-trust

  • Create new routines and structure during transition

  • Explore meaning and personal growth after loss or disruption

  • Strengthen relationships and communication during periods of adjustment

    Finding Strength in the Shift

    Change is part of life — but you don’t have to navigate it on your own. With the right support, these transitions can become opportunities for growth, resilience, and rediscovery. Whether you’re adjusting to a new role, grieving what’s ended, or figuring out who you are becoming, therapy can help you find steadiness in the in-between.
