DeAnza Sampson,

LPC-Associate

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, I have a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover healthier ways to cope, grow, and thrive. It is my belief that healing happens when a person feels seen, heard, and valued without judgment, so I work from a client-centered approach, primarily utilizing Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients develop practical strategies that make life more manageable. 

Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, interpersonal or relational challenges, I offer a warm and compassionate space where your experiences are honored. I see therapy as a collaborative relationship where we explore your story, uncover patterns, and support growth toward a more authentic, grounded, and meaningful life. I believe that each client inherently possesses the capacity for change, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process, with respect, curiosity, and care. 

Professionally, I have nine years of experience in the counseling field—split evenly between middle school and high school counseling. While I continue to enjoy supporting younger clients, I gain deep fulfillment in working with adults as they pursue clarity, healing, and personal growth. 

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Houston and a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University. I have furthered my clinical training by completing additional courses at both Lamar University and Angelo State University. 

In addition to my counseling work, I am a certified life coach who is passionate about helping people find meaningful solutions to their problems, improve emotional well-being, and take confident steps toward a better future. 

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking for guidance, I am committed to helping you make positive and lasting changes in your life – one step at a time.
