About Cierra
Cierra Batiste is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She offers straightforward support for depression, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with sleep or eating. Her style is practical and warm, aimed at easing day-to-day difficulties so people can function better at home and work.
She brings 13 years of experience in counseling settings. Much of her early work and training took place in Tennessee, and she now practices primarily in Dallas, Texas while also working in a behavioral hospital and in independent practice.
Background and approach
Cierra is pursuing doctoral studies and working toward a supervision license to broaden her clinical skills. Cierra uses person-centered methods that prioritize each person's goals and perspective. She also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are included when useful. Sessions aim to be a collaborative process. She helps people set clear, manageable goals and practices skills together during appointments.
The focus is on real, usable changes rather than medical or academic language. Outside of work, Cierra enjoys outdoor activities and trying new restaurants. Those interests often inform a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions and make it easier to find coping strategies that fit each person’s daily life.
How Cierra’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when anxiety or difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so people feel heard while they decide what changes to try.Choosing the right approach happens together. Cierra will talk with each person about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick strategies to try, adjust them over time, and check progress in follow-up sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video can work well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging let people share updates or work through small steps between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent care around work, family, or travel commitments.
