Destinee Abrego, LPC

Destinee Abrego is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 18 years in the counseling field. She focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck. Her style centers on trust, respect, and practical steps toward clearer goals.

She draws from client-centered ideas to keep the conversation grounded in each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) shapes how she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices are used when people need tools to manage intense emotions and stay present.

Destinee often blends motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people clarify what matters most. That combination supports people facing depression, relationship problems, addictions, and life changes like separation or grief. She also works with issues such as codependency, attachment concerns, chronic illness, and questions around kink and alternative sexual cultures.

In sessions she focuses on strengths and concrete skills. Conversations aim to make everyday life easier, whether that means reducing panic, improving communication, or managing urges tied to substance use. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness.

Her Texas license and nearly two decades of experience guide how she tailors treatment. People can expect straightforward, respectful care that emphasizes skill building and real-world solutions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. Online sessions using this approach emphasize empathy, reflective listening, and helping people set goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. In an online format CBT commonly uses worksheets, goal-setting, and short between-session exercises to reduce anxiety and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to keep continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered methods to remote settings so that skill practice and goal work continue between meetings.
