Professional statement

Twyla Terry-McCarrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing online psychotherapy to adults in Texas and Oklahoma. She works with those who are navigating the emotional, relational, and physical impacts of trauma and other life challenges. Her clients often seek support for concerns such as abandonment, anxiety, depression, dissociation, grief, insecure attachment, complex trauma (CPTSD), and sexual trauma. Twyla offers a safe and compassionate space where clients can process their experiences, reduce symptoms, and move toward healing and resilience.

Twyla’s therapy approach is grounded in brain/body-based modalities that recognize the deep connection between mind and body in the healing process. She is a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner and integrates Brainspotting with additional training in Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Mindfulness practices. Her work is collaborative and client-centered, honoring the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for growth. Twyla believes that when clients are supported with compassion and neuroscience-based care, they can access the strength within themselves to create meaningful change.

Before becoming a therapist, Twyla earned her B.S. in Computer Science from Langston University and later her M.A. in Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2017. She transitioned into counseling after a successful corporate career, following her passion to help others heal. Her diverse clinical background includes experience in private practice, clinic settings, and specialized contexts such as individual, couples, family, group, forensic, and faith-based counseling.

Twyla provides services through Headway (accepts listed insurance) and her private practice (insurance not accepted), Compassionate by Nature, PLLC, where clients can meet with her virtually from the comfort of their own home. She currently offers remote sessions for those located in Texas and Oklahoma, making therapy accessible and convenient. New clients are invited to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation to explore whether working together feels like the right fit.

Message to clients

Hi, I’m Twyla— a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas & Oklahoma, EMDR trained & a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner. Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and I want you to know that you don’t have to face this journey alone. My heart is to walk alongside adults navigating the emotional and physical weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, or grief.

Often, these struggles show up in ways that feel confusing—sudden emotional shifts, physical tension, or patterns in relationships that leave you feeling disconnected. Sometimes the causes are clear, and other times they linger beneath the surface. In our work together, we’ll explore how these experiences impact both your mind and body, uncover what’s keeping you stuck, and move toward healing and resolution.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I integrate brain-based therapies like Brainspotting with trauma-informed care to help release pain stored in the nervous system and create space for new possibilities. My hope for you is that therapy becomes a place where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to reconnect with yourself, find relief, and begin living with more clarity, confidence, and peace.

Healing is possible—and I would be honored to support you on that journey. Ready to start that journey - click the "Book Appointment" button. If you have Aetna, Ascension, BCBS TX, Carelon, Cigna, Optum, Oscar, Oxford, Quest, or UHC insurance, please give attention to the notice at the top of the Booking page after you click "Book Appointment".

I look forward to seeing you soon. Take care...
