Artrevisa Payton

Artrevisa Payton brings a decade of clinical experience to her work in Texas. She is a LICSW and LCSW who uses a relaxed, conversational approach to help people who feel stuck. She aims to listen first and then build a path forward based on each person's situation.

She has spent ten years supporting adults and older adults in long-term care and outpatient settings. Her background includes helping people coping with anxiety, depression, and memory-related conditions such as Alzheimer's and dementia. Hospice and end-of-life counseling is listed among her practice focuses.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in what matters to the person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and practical steps. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing also inform her work when useful.

Her style is straightforward and calm. She validates a person's feelings while encouraging small, doable changes that add up over time. Practical coping skills and clearer communication are common goals in her work.

People often reach out for help with grief, compassion fatigue, life transitions, relationship and family problems, isolation, or finding purpose. She assists with career-related stress and self-esteem concerns as well. Sessions are shaped around the individual's needs and what they want to accomplish.

Approaches that translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify priorities and values, which can be useful for grief, life changes, and end-of-life conversations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new responses, which often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away. This can reduce reactivity and help people manage stress and compassion fatigue more calmly.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust as progress is made. Clients shape the pace and focus of work together with the therapist.

For online work, confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions fit into a busy day. It also supports continuing care when attending in-person appointments is difficult, while letting conversations remain focused on practical steps and coping strategies.
