Cierra Batiste, LPC

Cierra Batiste is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas and a National Certified Counselor, combining formal credentials with hands-on clinical work. She completed undergraduate and graduate studies in Tennessee, where she gained much of her early counseling experience, and now lives and practices primarily in Dallas, TX. The LPC designation indicates a state-issued license to provide mental health counseling, and the National Certified Counselor credential reflects meeting national standards for the counseling profession.

Her clinical background focuses on trauma, depression, substance abuse, and work with troubled youth. She balances a part-time private practice with a leadership role as a director at a behavioral hospital, and she is pursuing further training as a doctoral student in the CES program at Capella University while working toward a supervision license to broaden her professional capacities.

Clinically she leans on a person-centered stance combined with cognitive behavioral techniques, aiming to help individuals overcome life challenges that interfere with healthy living. Cierra emphasizes collaborative work with clients to create practical, positive change. Outside of work she often spends weekends outdoors and enjoys exploring restaurants and new cultures.
