Almeida Counseling in Houston
You wish you could change the past with the wisdom you have now. While that is not an option, it's never too late to rewrite the past and learn from it moving forward. Our past can serve as our teacher if we allow it to.
You being here tells me that you are part of a select group of people who are determined to better themselves.
- You're stuck in patterns and ways of thinking that are not serving you
- You want to do things different but there's no support and you feel lonely
- You look at the generational dysfunction in your family and you want your life to look different
With almost 10 years of experience, I support anxious high performers to break free from perfectionism and people-pleasing, so they can rebuild trust in themselves, experience a deeper sense of calm, confidence, and self-leadership. Together we will determine what's keeping you stuck and untangle unrealistic expectations. You can find joy in the present, make peace with the past, and discover a more hopeful future.
In addition to providing in person counseling in Houston, Texas, I offer online counseling across the state of Texas. Online therapy works—it’s not a backup option, it meets you where you are, emotionally and physically. The virtual therapy option removes obstacles that can get in the way of healing and growth. The strength of therapy comes from the relationship between therapist and client—not the room it's in.
- Numerous studies have shown that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy.
- Online therapy removes barriers like travel time, transportation issues, childcare needs, or physical limitations.
- Clients can schedule sessions during lunch breaks, evenings, or between meetings, which makes therapy more sustainable long-term.
- Online sessions are conducted over secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms.
- Online therapy can be tailored to your needs just like in-person therapy.
Why Working With You, Matters to Me
Counseling isn’t just my job. It’s personal.
My own experiences with childhood hardship inspired me to step into this work. I remember sitting in a therapy room as a young girl, finding a moment of peace and tenderness through my family’s storms. It was the first time I felt seen. That gentle support planted a seed in my heart and showed me a path to help others. Through my early career as a probation officer, I realized I wanted more than a reactive role in people's lives. I wanted to walk alongside people as they bravely faced their past and built a different future. That personal drive led me to start Almeida Counseling, where I devote every day to helping others move from surviving to thriving.
How Counseling with Me is Different
You are the expert in your own life. I don’t give advice, and I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Your stories and experiences will be witnessed and held. You will have space to be yourself and truly learn how you feel about things.
Let's start where you are and go at the pace you set. Change happens in relationships, in feeling truly safe and seen. Whether we’re working through trauma, struggles with self-worth, or painful relationship patterns.
You are not broken.
You do not need to be fixed.
There are no strings attached in the counseling relationship making it a powerful vessel for change. You will have a teammate in me to walk beside you and as you create the life you want.

The Principles That Guide My Practice
Charlotte offers both in-person and virtual counseling to meet you where you are. Your feelings, patterns, and struggles all make sense. Therapy is about understanding yourself, honoring your needs, and creating real change. Together, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck and build a path forward. My role is to support and challenge you in a way that feels safe, so healing feels possible. Here is what guides me:
Safety & Compassion
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are, knowing you will be heard, understood, and valued.
Your Story Matters
Together, we’ll explore your experiences, uncover patterns, and help you reconnect with your authentic self so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.
Healing Happens in Connection
I believe in the power of relationships to repair past wounds. Through our work, you’ll experience what a secure, supportive connection feels like and learn to cultivate it in your own life.
Growth At Your Own Pace
Healing is about progress. Whether we’re addressing trauma, setting boundaries, or breaking generational cycles, I’ll walk alongside you as you take each step toward lasting change.
Beliefs That Shape Change
Healing is possible, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
Your past does not define you.
Therapy should feel safe, supportive, and real.
I also believe in doing my own work. I go to therapy myself because I know that I can’t help others if I’m not committed to my own growth.
You Deserve Support
You might be feeling stuck in patterns that you’ve tried to break for years. It may feel awkward to reach out for help, but you don’t have to do it alone. I understand the pain of betrayal, emotional neglect, and the weight of holding everything together. At Almeida Counseling, you’ll find a safe place to share your story without judgment.
I offer genuine empathy and a proven blend of training and lived experience. If you’re ready to get unstuck, I’m here to help you find your way through the sadness, worry, or anger that keeps you from living fully.
