Helping Teen Girls Feel Stronger Than Their Anxiety Through Therapy in Keller, TX
Is Your Brain Doing Too Much?
I help high-achieving teenage girls deal with pressure, judgment, and the constant feeling that they’re never doing enough. I work on untangling perfectionism, calming “what if” spirals, and challenging the harsh inner voice that says they have to get everything right. I teach practical tools to manage stress, overthinking, and anxiety so life feels less overwhelming and more manageable. The focus is helping them build confidence, trust themselves, and figure out who they are without letting expectations from school, friends, or social media run the show.
About
Ivy & Stone
Hi, I’m Alyssa Villarreal LPC., the owner and solo practitioner of my counseling practice. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in working with highly anxious adolescents and teenagers, helping them navigate the pressures, transitions, and emotions that come with growing up. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space where teens can explore their feelings, build resilience, and develop the skills they need to thrive.
I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Texas State University and my Master of Education in Counseling from Lamar University. My experience spans both hospital settings and PHP/IOP programs, where I’ve provided individual and group therapy to teens managing a wide range of mental health concerns. These environments shaped my approach, allowing me to combine clinical expertise with genuine compassion and collaboration.
As a solo practitioner, I value the opportunity to offer personalized, consistent care for every client and family I work with.
Outside of my practice, I love being outdoors, spending quality time with my family and friends, and traveling to new places. These experiences help me stay grounded and bring balance and perspective to the work I do.

Therapeutic Approach:
As a therapist, I’ve found that an eclectic approach allows me to truly tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, strengths, and personality. While I pull from a variety of evidence-based modalities, my work with teens is strongly influenced by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Its practical, skills-based focus helps adolescents build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication—all essential tools during such a pivotal stage of life. By blending DBT with other approaches as needed, I’m able to create a flexible and supportive therapeutic experience that meets teens where they are.
