Margaret Sue Echols, LPC

Margaret Sue Echols is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 34 years in mental health and 29 years in private practice. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship problems. She also supports people facing addictions, bipolar challenges, parenting strain, career transitions, and issues tied to identity and intimacy.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions blend talk therapy with practical tools like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. She also uses client-centered listening and emotionally focused work when relationships are central to the problem. Jungian ideas inform deeper reflection when people want to examine meaning and patterns in their lives.

In practice she assesses what is causing the most distress and then focuses on resolving that specific problem. That might look like learning skills to manage anxiety, trying behavioral experiments around sleep or substance use, or working on communication patterns with a partner. She also offers life coaching techniques for clients who want help with goals and transitions.

Margaret notes experience with multicultural issues and respects diverse faith backgrounds. She currently works with adults and with couples. Her style is intuitive and relational, aiming to match methods to each person's needs. The emphasis is practical change rather than jargon or long theory sessions.

Sessions combine direct problem-solving with space to reflect. People who choose her typically want clear steps to handle their immediate pressures while also exploring longer term patterns that affect relationships, work, or self-esteem.
