Sarah Williams Viana

Licensed Professional Counselor

I help individuals learn and accept who they are, overcome barriers, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling to them.

About Me

I help you uncover your authentic self and navigate life's challenges. We'll explore your unique strengths and values to build a life that truly reflects who you are. Sessions offer a supportive space to understand what holds you back. This approach suits those ready to embrace self-acceptance and create a deeply fulfilling future.

Approach

I guide exploration through small, practical experiments and reflective questions that reveal patterns and choices. Whether we meet in Houston or online, in English, you'll find a steady, predictable rhythm—brief check-ins, focused exploration, and targeted between-session practices to test what helps. Sessions balance close listening with body-aware noticing, cognitive reframing, and collaborative planning so anxiousness, body image concerns, eating-related habits, and transition stress become manageable steps rather than immovable barriers. This way of working tends to suit adults seeking clarity, self-acceptance, and sustainable change.
