Grief doesn’t move in a straight line. It circles. It fades for a few days and then arrives again in the cereal aisle, or when a song comes on, or in the quiet of a Tuesday afternoon for no reason you can name. If you’ve lost someone — or something — that mattered, there’s no “right” way to carry it. But you don’t have to carry it alone.
At CenTex Therapies, we provide virtual grief counseling across all of Texas — so wherever you are in the state, and wherever you are in your grief, support is a video call away.
Grief Isn’t Only About Death
The loss of a loved one is the form of grief most people name out loud. But grief shows up in many quieter forms: the death of a family member, partner, close friend, or beloved pet; a divorce or end of a long relationship; a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infertility journey that didn’t go the way you hoped; a health diagnosis that changed the shape of the future; a military transition or retirement; estrangement from a family member; grief about the life you expected but didn’t get. You don’t need to justify your grief to work with a counselor on it.
What Grief Can Feel Like
Waves of sadness that come without warning. Anger you can’t quite aim. Numbness or a strange flatness where emotion used to be. Difficulty sleeping, eating normally, or focusing at work. Guilt about things said, unsaid, done, or undone. A sense that the world has kept moving while you haven’t. Relief, sometimes, followed by guilt about feeling relieved. All of this is part of the process. None of it means you’re grieving wrong.
How Grief Counseling Works at CenTex Therapies
Our licensed counselors don’t work from a five-step model. We meet you where you are. Some people need space to tell the story of what happened. Some need practical help functioning through a hard month. Some need both. Grief counseling draws on narrative work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and meaning-making work — slowly building a life that holds the loss without being defined by it.
For Military Families and Veterans
Rooted in Killeen / Fort Hood, we work with a lot of service members, veterans, and military families. We understand the particular weight of losses the wider civilian world doesn’t always see: a battle buddy, the community of a unit, the identity of active duty, family separation that a deployment erased and couldn’t give back. If that’s part of your story, you don’t have to translate it to be understood here.
Insurance and Getting Started
In-network with TriCare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Cigna, Aetna, United HealthCare, Sana, and Baylor Scott & White. Self-pay and out-of-network options are available. We’re currently accepting new clients. There is no timeline for grief. There’s no benchmark for when you should be “over it.” What there can be, with support, is a slow return to a life that includes both your love for what you lost and the capacity to be present for what’s still here. Our individual counseling holds space for exactly that.
