I show up as a real person in the room, meeting clients with respect, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping them feel understood.
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with a background in outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatric care, and residential treatment, supporting both adolescents and adults. Most of my work centers on helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and major life changes. My focus is providing a grounded, reliable space where clients can slow down, regain stability, and move forward with clarity and self‑trust.
I use trauma‑informed, strengths‑based methods to help clients understand their experiences and develop tools for healing. You can expect a supportive, steady space where we focus on clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable progress.
You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe to grow. When you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Having navigated loss and major life transitions myself, I know you don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward, find clarity, recognize patterns, learn to trust yourself, or begin making confident decisions that enhance your life.
I’m Angie Munsey, an LPC-Associate with counseling experience in private practice, middle school, and high school settings. I work with individuals 11 and older, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions, burnout, caregiver fatigue, and relationship challenges. I also help clients identify and work through people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overcontrol. My clients seek to understand recurring patterns, communicate more clearly, build stronger boundaries, and make confident decisions that reflect their values and strengthen their relationships.
My style is warm, direct, curious, and collaborative, with room for humor. I integrate CBT, ACT, and SolutionFocused Therapy with art and play therapy techniques. Together, we’ll explore patterns, consider new perspectives, and practice skills to help you respond intentionally and make changes that reflect your values.
You don’t have to do it alone, and you don’t have to have it all planned out. I’ll meet you where you’re at. Together we’ll decide what happens next. If you’re scared, that’s okay. Doubtful? That’s okay too. Do it scared. Do it doubtful. Schedule the appointment. All you have to do is start.

I understand that life can sometimes take us through difficult and unexpected seasons. My own life experiences have taught me the value of resilience, personal growth, and having someone who truly listens. I believe we all have the ability to grow, make meaningful changes, and find a new path forward, sometimes we just need a little support along the way.
I am a counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling and a passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s challenges and discover their own strengths. My experience includes working with children and teens in school and community-based settings, supporting individuals facing anxiety, stress, family changes, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or uncertain about their future. I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
Building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients is at the heart of my approach. I take time to establish genuine rapport so clients feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves. Through a warm, person-centered approach, I help clients understand their emotions, recognize their strengths, and make meaningful changes at their own pace.
You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. Where you are today does not determine where you can go tomorrow. With support, encouragement, and the right tools, you can write a better story for yourself. When you are ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take that next step toward healing and growth.

As someone who understands how deeply identity, relationships, and our sense of belonging can shape our lives, I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that you deserve to feel at home in yourself.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, life transitions, and challenges with connection and belonging. My approach is collaborative and grounded in patience, curiosity, and compassion. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, develop meaningful coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more authentic to you.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in an Adlerian perspective. I help clients explore patterns, recognize their strengths, build practical coping skills, and develop a stronger sense of identity and belonging. Clients can expect a supportive space where we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.

If you’re ready to begin exploring what’s next, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take that first step toward meaningful change.

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for and build a happy, successful marriage. Premarital therapists at Thriveworks in Bastrop, TX can help couples develop essential communication skills, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to manage their specific relationship issues.
When you and your partner begin premarital counseling, your counselor will want to get to know you both as well as your relationship. In order to accomplish this, they will ask questions around the following:
If there is a particular area that they feel needs to be explored further (for example, you note that you and your partner have very different spending habits and views on money), they’ll guide the conversation in the given direction.
Premarital counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
Generally speaking, Thriveworks premarital counseling in Bastrop typically lasts for 8-10 weeks. This, however, can vary depending on the counselor’s approach as well as the clients’ preferences and needs. For example, some couples might request additional sessions to work through problem areas that they’ve identified in their relationship pre-wedding.
In all of the planning and deciding involved with marriage, you might forget that the getting ready phase should be about more than just one single day. You should also be preparing for what it means to spend your life with another human being in wedded bliss.
Meet with one of our skilled premarital counselors at Thriveworks Bastrop who have worked with couples in all stages of relationships — someone who can help give you the skills you need for the happiest, most satisfying relationship possible.
Premarital counseling is your marriage cheat-sheet, in a way. It’s your opportunity to anticipate and work through issues before they’re even a problem. Why not figure all of this stuff out now when you’re so thrilled to be together, instead of down the road when frustrations turn into yelling matches and resentment.
Why not do your best to prevent all of that by examining these concerns now, calmly, with a professional who wants what’s best for you?
Some topics you will discuss with your premarital counselor include:
If you’re looking for a premarital counseling service in the Bastrop, Texas, area that can help establish crucial skills for a long, healthy marriage, look no further. Contact us today by phone, or schedule online to get started. We look forward to helping your relationship grow!
