Jenny Tolleson, M.A., LPC-Associate
Online Therapist Serving Texas
"I believe every person has a unique story worth honoring, and that healing begins in safe, compassionate connection."
My Counseling Philosophy
I believe every person carries a unique story that has shaped who they are today. Those stories—full of both joy and challenge—matter deeply, and they deserve to be honored. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that counseling can be a truly transformative experience: a place where healing begins, burdens are lifted, and new possibilities emerge.
I value the perspectives that come from diverse cultural, racial, and life experiences. My heart is to create a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where every client feels seen, heard, and understood.
My Approach to Therapy
My approach is rooted in Psychodynamic Therapy, helping clients uncover the “why” behind their behaviors and struggles. At the same time, I draw from a variety of evidence-based methods, always tailoring my approach to meet each person’s unique needs.
At the core of my work is Person-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes unconditional positive regard and the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and optimism, creating a supportive environment where you can heal, grow, and rediscover hope.

A Little About Me
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Texas A&M University in 1988. After raising my four children and serving for many years in children’s ministry, I spent thirteen years as a teacher. Later, I pursued my passion for counseling and completed my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Amberton University. I joined The Freed Mind Group, PLLC in 2024 and currently hold an LPC-Associate license as I work toward full licensure.
On a personal note, I’ve been married for forty years, a journey filled with both joyful and challenging seasons. My husband and I have grown together while raising our four wonderful children, who are now happily married with families of their own. Today, I’m blessed with twelve precious grandchildren who bring me endless joy.
Faith is central to my life. As a lifelong Christian, I strive to reflect Christ’s light, love, and grace in everything I do. My relationship with Him inspires not only how I live, but also how I counsel.
I approach life with optimism, always believing the glass is half full. I see the good in people—even when they cannot see it themselves—and I bring that hope into every counseling relationship.
Let’s Work Together
Life is a journey full of seasons, some joyful, some challenging, but none of them have to be walked alone. If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
