Therapy for Women and Teens Who Overthink, People-Please and Feel Anxious in Their Relationships
Anxiety & Boundaries Therapy in Flower Mound, TX + Online Across Texas
You're the one everyone counts on. You say yes when you mean no, replay conversations long after they end, and feel guilty the moment you put yourself first. Together, we'll quiet the overthinking and help you set boundaries without the guilt, so your relationships feel lighter instead of exhausting.

Does This Sound Like You?
You say yes to everyone, then feel resentful, drained or invisible.
You replay conversations for hours, wondering if you said the wrong thing.
Setting a boundary feels selfish, so you avoid it, or you set one and then apologize for it.
You worry about where you stand with your partner, friends or family, even when nothing is "wrong."
You hold everything together on the outside while your mind won't stop racing on the inside.
If you nodded along, you're not too sensitive and you're not broken. People-pleasing and overthinking are often ways anxiety tries to keep you safe. Therapy can help you find a calmer, more honest way to show up in your relationships.
Who I Help
Women
I work with women, mostly in their 20s to 50s, who are capable, caring and tired of carrying everyone else's feelings. Maybe you're a mom, a professional or someone in the middle of a big life change. Together we'll work on people-pleasing, boundaries without guilt, overthinking and relationship anxiety, so you can stop second-guessing yourself. Learn more about therapy for women
Teens
Teens feel the pressure to please too: friends, coaches, teachers and parents. I help teens who overthink, struggle to say no, worry about friendships or feel anxious about school and what comes next. Parents are part of the process, and I'll talk with you about how we'll work together and keep your teen's sessions a safe space. Learn more about therapy for teens

Hi, I’m Abbie.
Meet Abbie Smith, LPC Supervisor | Counselor in Flower Mound, TX
I'm passionate about helping people navigate life's most challenging seasons with compassion, understanding, and practical support. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, or the unique complexities of adoption, therapy can provide a safe place to process your experiences and create meaningful change.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, I've been helping clients heal and grow since 2016. My professional journey has also included a career in marketing, giving me a unique understanding of life's transitions, shifting identities, and the pressures many people face while balancing careers, relationships, and personal expectations.
I have specialized training in adoption-competent counseling and am passionate about supporting adoptees, adoptive families, birth parents, and others whose lives have been touched by adoption. I understand that adoption stories often involve layers of identity, attachment, grief, loss, and belonging that deserve thoughtful, informed care.
At Cypress Banks Counseling, I offer both in-person counseling in Flower Mound and virtual therapy for clients throughout Texas. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward the life you want to create.
You don't have to navigate your story alone. Healing happens through connection, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
