Cierra Batiste is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience supporting people through complex life challenges. She combines a person-centered foundation with cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients make practical changes while honoring each person’s individual strengths and values. Cierra built much of her early clinical experience while studying in Tennessee and now centers her work in the Dallas area, where she splits time between a part-time private practice and a leadership role at a behavioral hospital.
Cierra’s background includes extensive work with trauma, depression, substance use concerns, and youth facing behavioral challenges, and she brings particular attention to issues such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and concerns around intimacy, eating, and sleep.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cierra often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people build self-awareness, clarify values, and feel heard as they navigate challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach she employs - it focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other difficulties through practical exercises and skill building. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may also be used to help clients develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cierra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines approaches as needed and adjusts strategies over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options allow clients to engage in consistent, effective work with licensed professionals while choosing the format that feels most comfortable and practical for their life.
