Tele-Therapy for Working Moms in Texas
Empowering moms to find balance, resilience, and fulfillment through client-centered counseling.
Is it Normal to Not Want to be a Mom Anymore?
Being a mom can be hard. Add working to that can leave you depleted! Balancing work, family, and self-care is not always easy. It can leave you feeling like you just don’t want to mommy anymore…AND THAT’S OK!
You wake up every day with the intention to give your best to your family, your career, and maybe—just maybe—yourself. But somewhere between the early mornings, late nights, and constant demands, it feels like there's nothing left in the tank. You pour out A LOT, but who takes care of you? Therapy for working moms provides support in a safe and authentic atmosphere where you feel accepted no matter the challenges you face as a mom.
Many working moms experience:
Exhaustion: The kind that goes beyond physical tiredness—it’s emotional, mental, and spiritual fatigue.
Overwhelm: Feeling like there are never enough hours in the day to do it all, let alone do it well.
Guilt: Worrying that you’re failing at work, at home, or both, no matter how much you’re doing.
Loss of Self: Wondering who you are beyond being someone’s mom, someone’s wife, or someone’s employee.
Frustration: Feeling stuck in a cycle that never seems to change, no matter how hard you try.
These everyday symptoms show up in the form of irritability, feeling disconnected, brain fog, sleepless nights, and a constant pressure to hold everything together.
My services are designed to help you find a sustainable balance that honors your family and your dreams. You deserve to thrive—not just survive. The good news is that you don’t have to stay in this place. Through therapy tailored to the unique challenges of working moms, I help women like you rediscover balance, embrace their purpose, and live with confidence.
Let’s work together to address the root issues so you can thrive—not just for your family and career but for you.
“Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken; it’s about finding yourself again and learning to thrive in every season of life.”
Our first session together is all about you!
—exploring your needs, your goals, and how I can best support you. It’s completely natural to feel a bit nervous or unsure about whether counseling is right for you—know that you're not alone in that feeling. This is your space, and I’m here to honor your comfort level. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on what matters most to you. You are the expert of your own life (even if that doesn’t feel true just yet!), and together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths.
With compassion, acceptance, and yes, even a little laughter, I will guide you on a journey toward feeling confident, refreshed, and balanced again.
After our first session, we’ll continue to work together, developing a personalized plan that helps you face the challenges life brings, identify the root causes of your stress, and develop strategies to manage the mental load with greater clarity and strength. Each session is an opportunity to unload the weight you’ve been carrying and gain tools to navigate work-life balance with more confidence and ease.
You’ve already taken the first bold step to look for help!
Why? Because you are brave and you deserve it, girl! I make sure my clients know coming to therapy is the first step to healing. Counseling isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about discovering what’s already whole within you and building on it. Whether it’s learning to set healthy boundaries, rediscovering joy, or simply finding a moment to breathe, therapy can be the place where transformation begins.
How can our services help you?
*Reduce Stress & Overwhelm
Through tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), we’ll explore strategies to:
Identify and manage stress triggers.
Build healthy coping mechanisms to help you stay grounded.
Create actionable steps to reduce the feeling of overwhelm in your daily life.
*Address Mom Guilt
Mom guilt may be a constant struggle for you. It often stems from feeling torn between professional responsibilities and family life. Therapy can help you:
Explore the root causes of guilt.
Develop realistic expectations of yourself as both a professional and a parent.
Learn self-compassion techniques to release feelings of inadequacy.
*Set Priorities and Boundaries
Learning to say "no" without guilt and "yes" to what truly matters is important. In therapy, we’ll focus on:
Clarifying your core values and priorities.
Setting boundaries at work and home to protect your time and energy.
Creating a schedule that reflects your values while leaving room for flexibility.
*Reclaim Time for Self-Care
Self-care often takes a backseat when you are managing a packed schedule, but it’s essential for your mental and emotional health. Our services can help you:
Reframe self-care as a necessity, not a luxury.
Identify small, manageable ways to incorporate self-care into your routine.
Overcome barriers like guilt or feeling “selfish” for taking time for yourself.
*Reconnect with Your Identity
My clients often come in with a sense of lost identity, focusing so much on work and parenting that they lose sight of themselves. Therapy offers the space to:
Rediscover your passions and interests outside of work and parenting.
Define who you are beyond your roles as "employee" and "mom."
Set goals that align with your personal aspirations.
*Manage Burnout and Build Resilience
Burnout is a common struggle for clients who feel stretched too thin by the demands of work and home life. It can manifest as physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion, leaving you feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. Common symptoms include:
Constant fatigue, even after rest
Feeling emotionally drained or irritable
Difficulty concentrating or staying productive
A sense of detachment or loss of joy in activities
Physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, or insomnia
We’ll work together to:
Recognize early signs of burnout to prevent it from escalating.
Develop daily habits to support physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Explore personalized stress-management tools, like mindfulness and relaxation techniques.
Shift your mindset to prioritize what truly matters and release perfectionistic tendencies.
Build emotional resilience so you can handle stress more effectively.
You don’t have to do it alone.
Karen E. Lanxon, M.Ed., LPC. Christian, Wife, Mother of ThreeI understand the challenges you're facing and am here to support you on your journey toward healing. Whether you're experiencing physical symptoms like fatigue and headaches, emotional challenges like guilt and stress, or perfectionism and loss of self, therapy can provide the support you need.
There is hope.
Together, we can work through these feelings and develop practical strategies to restore your sense of calm and control. We’ll work together to help you reconnect with your purpose, overcome feelings of overwhelm, and rediscover the strength within you.
It’s time to prioritize you!
Imagine waking up and feeling a sense of peace instead of dread. Picture navigating your day with clarity and confidence, no longer weighed down by the constant pressure to do it all. While therapy doesn’t promise an easy road, it opens the door to a more purposeful, balanced, and fulfilling life. Working together, we can help you create the space to prioritize what truly matters to you, let go of what no longer serves you, and build healthier patterns for yourself and your family.
Over time, you may find yourself setting boundaries
—without guilt, communicating your needs with confidence, and rediscovering parts of yourself that you thought were lost. Therapy can be the bridge that takes you from survival mode to living with intention and joy. You might still have tough days—we all do—but with the tools and strategies we develop together, you’ll feel better equipped to handle life’s challenges with grace and resilience.
I believe that every working mom deserves to thrive
—not just as a parent or a professional, but as a whole person. Therapy is a space where you can reconnect with yourself and your faith, find renewed energy, and start living a life that reflects your values and dreams. You don’t have to do this alone—I’m here to walk alongside you on this journey toward becoming the best version of yourself, one step at a time.
