CLINICAL SUPERVISION · TEXAS LPC ASSOCIATE
Clinical Supervision for LPC Associates
Supervision available statewide in Texas.
You are an LPC Associate in Texas working toward full licensure. You are not just counting hours. You want your supervision time to actually make you better, to develop real clinical skill, not just complete a requirement.
You may be working with anxiety, OCD, trauma, or BFRBs, or you may be drawn to those specialties and want a supervisor who genuinely understands them. You have probably noticed that not every supervisor can teach what you want to learn.
If that describes you, this may be the right supervision relationship. Felix takes a limited number of supervisees, consistent with how he runs his therapy practice. Supervision done well requires real attention, and real attention requires limits.
Supervision fees
Individual Supervision
Ideal for associates who want the entire hour to focus on their cases. This is also required if you are starting in private practice.
$150/sessionGroup Supervision
Provides additional feedback from your peers in similar stages in their licensure process. Equal time for each associate to present.
$80/sessionBalanced month Supervision
2 individual sessions and 2 group supervision sessions.
$400/sessionWhat This Supervision Actually Looks Like
Supervision with Felix centers on case conceptualization, intervention skills, and clinical reasoning, not administrative paperwork. Each session is structured around your actual caseload: what is working, what is not, and why.
Felix uses his specialty training to help supervisees develop real competency in evidence-based modalities, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, EMDR for trauma, Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for BFRBs, and ACT-informed approaches for anxiety. If you are working in or moving toward these areas, supervision here is designed to intentionally build that skill.
Supervision is also a place to develop your professional identity: your clinical values, your theoretical framework, and your understanding of ethics and scope. That is not secondary. That is the work.
Specialties You Can Develop in Supervision
OCD & ERP: Exposure and Response Prevention grounded in Inhibitory Learning theory. Supervision covers case conceptualization, hierarchy design, and how to deliver ERP in a way that actually works in the long term.
Trauma & EMDR: EMDR protocol fidelity, trauma-informed conceptualization, and safe titration for complex presentations. Felix can help you build confidence in EMDR in real-world clinical settings.
BFRBs & Habit Reversal Training: Skin picking, hair pulling, and related body-focused repetitive behaviors are under-addressed in most training programs. Supervision includes HRT techniques, the BFRB behavioral model, and strategies for working with shame without reinforcing avoidance.
Anxiety & ACT-Informed Care: ACT as a clinical framework, not just a technique. Supervision covers values clarification, psychological flexibility, and the difference between symptom reduction and a meaningful life as treatment goals.
Preparing for Private Practice
I offer guidance and consultation on preparing for private practice, from idea to action, with compliance, marketing, and culturally responsive counseling.
Ethics Training
Ethics is no laughing matter; ethical awareness helps you be an effective therapist, and a lack of it is a recipe for a board complaint. I help you avoid that.
Self Care
We are tasked with preventing burnout and implementing strategies to reduce it. We get creative with self-care and create a self-care plan you will use throughout your counseling journey.
Multicultural and Advocacy in Counseling
Part of our ethical duty as professional counselors is to be culturally responsive and to advocate for our field and our clients. In supervision with me, we explore the multicultural issues we face in practice. We also learn to engage in advocacy efforts.
A Supervision Framework Based on the Bernard Discrimination Model
I use the Bernard Discrimination Model, which means supervision intentionally shifts among teacher, counselor, and consultant roles depending on what the case and supervisee need, while focusing on intervention, case conceptualization, and the supervisee’s use of self.
Teacher
In this role, you are instructive and direct. You provide information, teach clinical concepts, explain interventions, model skills, and offer guidance when the supervisee needs structure or knowledge.
Consultant
In this role, you relate more collegially. You invite the supervisee to think critically, generate options, reflect on clinical decisions, and strengthen autonomy. The focus is less on instruction and more on collaborative clinical reasoning.
Counselor
In this role, you help the supervisee examine personal reactions, emotional responses, blind spots, anxiety, self-doubt, and any internal factors that may be affecting clinical work. The focus is on the supervisee’s use of self, not on doing their personal therapy.
Counseling modalities felix uses and teaches associates under his supervision
You will become an expert in your chosen theory.
The modalities below reflect what Felix actively uses in his own clinical work. Supervision is grounded in approaches he can teach from direct application, not from a training manual alone.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
CBT forms the backbone of structured, evidence-based care. Supervision covers case conceptualization, thought-behavior-emotion relationships, and how to apply CBT precisely rather than generically across presenting problems.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT supervision focuses on psychological flexibility, values clarification, and defusion, not just as standalone techniques but as a clinical framework for understanding what it actually means for a client to improve.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Working with trauma requires more than sensitivity. Supervision covers stabilization phases, titration, and the use of trauma-focused approaches with sufficient clinical precision to ensure safe, effective processing.
Specialized Therapy
Each of these modalities requires specific competency. Supervision covers ERP grounded in inhibitory learning, CPT for PTSD presentations, and HRT for body-focused repetitive behaviors, not as an overview, but as an applied clinical skill.
How the Supervision Engagement Works
Why This Practice
His supervision philosophy is humanistic in its foundation and evidence-based in its methods. He does not believe supervision should feel like an evaluation you are trying to pass; it should feel like a place where you can think out loud, make mistakes, and actually grow. He has been on the receiving end of both good and bad supervision. That informs how he shows up.
Felix maintains a selective supervisory caseload, consistent with how he runs his therapy practice. This is intentional. Supervision done well requires real attention, and real attention requires limits.
