      <image:title>Welcome - Hi, I'm Ariana Freshour, MA, LPC, NCC I'm an Austin, Texas-based therapist working with adults, adolescents, and children ages 10 and up, in person or virtually. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, grief, and relationship challenges, using an integrative approach that blends CBT, solution-focused strategies, and client-centered care. With 8 years in private practice and a decade of experience supporting youth in school settings, therapy with me feels like a real conversation, not a script. Schedule your free 15-minute consultation below.</image:title>

      <image:title>Services - Teletherapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>For those who value convenience or may have a busy schedule, Teletherapy offers a flexible way to access therapy from the comfort of your own home. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform that allows us to connect virtually through video, phone, or messaging. Teletherapy offers a safe space for you to discuss what’s on your mind, while maintaining confidentiality and connection, no matter where you are.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Individual Psychotherapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>In-person therapy is a chance for you to sit down and explore what's been weighing on your mind. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or a major life transition, individual therapy gives you a space to talk about it in a focused, supportive way. My goal is to create an environment where you can feel understood and develop practical tools to improve your well-being. Through our sessions, you'll gain insight and confidence in navigating life’s challenges.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Walk and Talk Therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you find sitting in an office setting challenging or want a refreshing way to approach therapy, walk-and-talk therapy could be a great fit for you. In this unique format, we’ll walk together in a public space, which often helps ease tension and encourages more natural conversation. Many people find that the movement and change of environment help them feel more relaxed and open. Walk-and-talk sessions can be used on a regular basis or as an occasional alternative to in-office appointments.</image:caption>
