Destinee Abrego, LPC

Destinee Abrego is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and addictions, and she lists codependency among her focus areas.

She uses practical, person-focused approaches in sessions. That means conversations about what is happening now, skills to manage strong feelings, and steps to change unhelpful patterns. She draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people sort what matters most to them.

In therapy she pays attention to attachment and communication patterns. Many clients bring struggles like trouble saying no, feeling overly responsible for others, or coping with a partner's substance use or mood problems. She helps people notice how those patterns show up and try different ways of responding that feel more manageable.

Sessions move between talking through current problems and practicing concrete skills. That can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, learning grounding and emotion regulation strategies, and setting small, realistic goals. Motivational interviewing is used to build momentum for change when people feel stuck.

Her work also addresses complex situations such as abandonment, dependent personality concerns, chronic illness, and the impacts of domestic violence or separation. People who want clear steps, steady feedback, and a therapist who will collaborate on goals often seek her approach.
