About Destinee
Destinee Abrego is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, and LGBT concerns. Her practice also addresses related issues such as communication problems, codependency, and chronic illness challenges.
She focuses on building a working relationship based on trust and straightforward conversation. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to a client’s strengths and skills. Destinee uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method, choosing what fits each person’s situation.
Her style brings together Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing. In practice this means talking through thoughts and behaviors, practicing new responses to stress, and learning simple mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm.
She has worked across many settings over nearly two decades and has experience supporting people with addiction, trauma-related issues, attachment concerns, and problems around commitment or control. That background informs how she helps people set realistic, step-by-step goals.
In sessions she emphasizes clear communication and practical skills you can use between meetings. People who choose her often look for straightforward guidance, tools to manage anxiety, and help improving relationships and day-to-day functioning.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. The therapist follows the client’s concerns and helps them name goals and next steps, which can be useful for relationship issues and personal values work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It includes simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Short skills practice and grounding techniques can help when stress feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on current needs, goals, and preferences. This is a shared process that may shift over time as progress is checked.

Therapists and licensed professionals often adjust pacing, homework, and skills practice so therapy fits everyday life without adding undue burden.
