About Cierra
Cierra Batiste is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience. She sees adults managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. She also focuses on veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, personality disorder challenges, and process addictions.
Batiste trained and began her work in Tennessee before moving to Dallas, Texas, where she practices part time in private practice and works as a director at a behavioral hospital. She is a doctoral student in the CES program at Capella University and is pursuing a supervision license to broaden her practice. Her background includes substantial work with trauma, depression, substance use, and youth with behavioral challenges.
Her approach combines Client-Centered Therapy with practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools. Sessions are conversational and direct. She helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and practice skills between meetings.
She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when those fit the goals. Mindfulness skills are woven into sessions to help with stress, rumination, and impulse control.
Outside of work she spends weekends outdoors and enjoys trying new restaurants and cultures. To begin, readers should follow the site’s online therapy flow to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anger that keeps someone stuck in the same patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; that practical work helps with anger reactions, sleep problems, and mood issues. Mindfulness practices teach short attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals and everyday demands. This makes sessions more relevant and keeps the focus on what people want to change in day-to-day life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the original biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the settings where their anger tends to come up. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so the same skills can be learned and practiced between sessions.
