Mrs Merlena A James Turks

Licensed Professional Counselor

I provide individual counseling to adolescents and adults through Telehealth/Virtual Services. I recognize that one approach will not work for every person I come in contact with, therefore, we utilize skills from different treatment approaches in order to successfully serve each individual.

About Me

I offer individual Counseling for adolescents and adults through virtual sessions. Recognising your unique path, I tailor our work precisely to your needs. We'll explore various approaches together, finding practical tools that truly resonate for you. This flexible, client-centred style ensures you receive personalised support. It helps you make meaningful progress comfortably from your own space.

Approach

When we meet online, I focus on practical pacing and clear goals so each session feels purposeful and easy to continue between meetings. From my Houston office and in English, I weave grounding practices, cognitive tools and narrative reflection so young people and adults can try small changes between sessions. Sessions move at your tempo, balancing validation with short experiments to address grief, anxiety, transitions or trauma responses. This steady, practical way of working often fits those seeking thoughtful progress from their own space.
