Helen Coffman, LCSW

Helen Coffman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas who brings years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She holds degrees from Abilene Christian University and the University of Texas at Austin and has 15 years of professional counseling experience working in private practice, community service, and hospice medical social work. The LCSW credential indicates specialized training and a license to provide clinical social work services and psychotherapy.

Before earning her LCSW, she spent 25 years teaching parents how to navigate the transitions associated with childbearing and parenting, an experience that informs her practical, empathetic approach to family and parenting concerns. As a therapist she has helped people manage anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, faith-related struggles, depression, and self-esteem issues, and she works with those coping with life changes and relationship challenges.

Her clinical work is informed by an array of therapeutic approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychoanalytic Therapy. She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of effective counseling, believing that connection and comfort with a therapist are central to building trust and progress in therapy.

Helen honors each person’s life story, helping clients identify strengths they want to carry forward while supporting growth beyond past difficulties. This collaborative focus aims to equip people to face current pain, trauma, or disappointment with greater resilience and clearer direction.
