Helping adults find steadiness, clarity, and calm.
You’re used to holding it all together for your family, your work, and everyone who depends on you.
But lately, it’s felt harder to manage the stress, the overthinking, and the constant pressure to keep going.
On the outside, it looks like you have everything under control yet inside, you feel anxious, disconnected, or exhausted.
At Pathways of Courage, therapy is a space to pause, breathe, and get grounded again.
We’ll explore the patterns that keep you overwhelmed and learn realistic ways to manage life’s stressors with clarity and confidence.
Meet Loren Cook, M.S., LPC, LCDC
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor based in Texas. I help adults who feel stuck, anxious, or burnt out find steadiness and self-understanding.
My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative — blending cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and psychoeducation to help you move from overwhelm toward clarity.
