Getting to know Laine Distefano

Hello, I'm Laine, a Texas-born, California-trained therapist with years of experience working as a crisis clinician and treating survivors of sexual abuse. We've all faced struggles, hardships, and loss in life, and sometimes it takes more than we possess to cope and emerge with our dignity intact. My approach to therapy is grounded in Positive Psychology and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other therapeutic modalities. I will encourage you to see things from a different perspective, challenge you to change your coping strategies, and cheer you on as you follow your unique path toward healing and growth. I hold a Master's degree and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am certified in industry-leading, evidence-based practices including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and Prepare-Enrich Marriage Therapy. In our sessions, we will focus on overcoming past struggles, strengthening current relationships and careers, and incorporating family systems work and Positive Psychology to help you find hope and support during difficult times. My specialties include anxiety, autism spectrum support, children's mental and behavioral health, adolescent and teen mental and behavioral health, depression, family relationships, PTSD, suicidal ideation and self-harming, and trauma. I also offer SonderMind Video Telehealth for those who prefer remote sessions. Beyond my clinical work, I am an avid community advocate for mental health. I actively promote awareness and provide resources through The Elisa Project, Grant Halliburton Foundation’s I Am HERE Coalition, Dallas Regional Chamber’s Young Professionals, Dallas CARE, and Dallas TAAP. As a therapist, my goal is to help you find your joy for life. If you're ready to start this journey together, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
