Meet Susan
The person behind the practice.
Susan CáceresFounder & LPC Associate · REVELA CounselingSupervised by Traci Wagner, LPC-S and Laura Cintron, LPC-S
Meet Susan
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
I am passionate about mental health awareness, and I value therapy as a place where you can finally be honest about what you’re carrying, without feeling judged or having to have everything figured out first. It’s easy to keep going and take care of everyone else while quietly carrying things you don’t always have a place to talk about. I believe therapy should be a place where you can take a breath, slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and learn that you don’t have to navigate it all alone.
As a bilingual counselor, I want you to feel understood not only in the words you use, but in the experiences, relationships, culture, and expectations that shape your life, and to express yourself in the language that feels most natural to you.
If you’re nervous about starting therapy, you don’t have to come in with the right words or know exactly what you need. We can start right where you are.
No tienes que tenerlo todo resuelto.
REVELA offers secure virtual therapy throughout Texas in both English and Español. You’re welcome to move between languages in session and use whichever feels most natural. Before getting started, you can schedule a 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

How we work together
The values that shape every session.
OUR APPROACH TO COUNSELING
Cultivate
The care behind the growth.
Healing, growth, and flourishing are not things we rush. Like a garden, meaningful growth needs care, patience, and room to unfold.
What helps growth take root?
CompassionA place to feel safe.
CollaborationYour voice matters.
Cultural humilityYour story belongs.
GrowthChange can take root.
More about Cultivate
This is the inspiration behind Cultivate: tending to what needs care, making room for new possibilities, and nurturing the changes that matter to you. In counseling, growth is not forced or one-size-fits-all; it is supported at a pace that respects your needs, strengths, and goals.
What you cultivate can grow with you.
In counseling, we identify practical tools that fit your needs and goals, explore how they work in everyday life, and adjust them together. You do not have to figure everything out alone; the work is collaborative and moves at a pace that respects you.
Cultivate is a guiding philosophy for REVELA’s approach to counseling, not a separate service, a required sequence, or a promise of a particular outcome. Counseling methods are selected collaboratively based on your needs and goals.

What to expect
What starting looks like, step by step.
What to Expect from Therapy
This is your time, your space, and your journey.
Therapy begins with what brought you here and what you hope to gain. Your goals guide the way.
Sessions are a space to explore thoughts and feelings, gain insight, build coping skills, and consider new perspectives in a supportive, nonjudgmental setting.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Therapy moves at a pace that respects your readiness for change, and your voice and choices stay central.
Counseling Methods That Inform Our Work
Individualized, collaborative, and practical.
Cultivate describes the guiding framework; CBT, person-centered, and solution-focused methods may inform the work we do together.
These approaches offer different ways to explore thoughts, emotions, strengths, and possibilities for change. Together we build self-awareness and practical strategies.
Your input guides the direction of sessions, and the approach adapts as your needs evolve.
Faith and Personal Values
Your beliefs and values have a place here.
Faith or spirituality can be part of our work whenever you would like it to be.
Your beliefs and values are your own, and they are respected throughout.
REVELA is welcoming to people of all faiths, those who do not identify with a faith, and people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
Let’s connect
If something here sounds like what you need, I would be glad to hear from you. A free 15-minute consultation is a low-pressure way to ask questions and see how it feels.
REVELA is a private counseling practice, not a nonprofit or emergency service. Grow. Heal. Flourish. describes our hopes for the work together, not a promise of a particular outcome. Community organizations and referral links on this website are independent of REVELA unless expressly stated otherwise.

The Practical Side
How private pay works.
Counseling at REVELA is private pay, which means sessions aren’t billed through insurance. Here is what that looks like in plain language, and the questions people often ask.
Session Rates
15-Minute ConsultationA free conversation to ask questions and see if we’re a good fit.
$0
Initial Intake Session60 minA comprehensive assessment to discuss your history and goals, and create your personalized care plan.
$135

Accessible care. A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available based on current availability and individual circumstances. Feel free to discuss your needs during your free consultation.
Pay per session
You pay when you book, through the secure client portal. HSA and FSA cards are welcome, and your Good Faith Estimate confirms costs before your first session.
Why private pay
Insurance billing requires a mental health diagnosis, and a plan may ask to review treatment records. Private pay keeps those decisions in your hands. It is a choice, and it is not right for everyone.
Superbills for reimbursement
A superbill lists your service dates, what you paid, and codes your plan may ask for. If you have out-of-network benefits, you can submit it for possible reimbursement — ask your plan about your deductible and any session limits first. Reimbursement is not guaranteed.
Start with a free consultation
Not sure if this is the right fit? Talk with me for 15 minutes, at no cost and with no obligation, before you decide.
If you plan to ask your plan about reimbursement, these questions can help. Reimbursement is never guaranteed.
How do I check my out-of-network benefits?
Call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits for an initial intake assessment (CPT 90791) and individual therapy (CPT 90834)?
Does my plan reimburse for these services when they are provided by an LPC Associate practicing under a board-approved supervisor?
Do I have an out-of-network deductible, and how much of it have I met?
After my deductible is met, what percentage of the session fee does my plan reimburse, and is there a limit on sessions per year?
What do I need to submit, and by what deadline?
Diagnosis and medical necessity
To process a superbill, insurance plans typically require a mental health diagnosis code (ICD-10) to show medical necessity. A diagnosis is based on a thorough clinical assessment, ethical standards, and Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council rules. Diagnoses are never altered, invented, or exaggerated to secure insurance payment. A diagnosis also becomes part of your insurance record, so please ask any questions before you submit a superbill.
This checklist and the billing codes listed are educational only. Insurance plans vary, and your plan decides what it will reimburse. REVELA cannot guarantee how your insurer will respond, cannot promise reimbursement, and is not responsible for how your plan processes or denies a claim, including decisions based on a counselor’s license type.
Calming Corner

Healing doesn’t only happen in session. This is a quiet space to slow down, whenever you need it.

Twelve short, private activities anyone can try. Nothing you make here is saved or sent anywhere. They are for general education and self-care. They are not therapy or treatment. REVELA's counseling services are for teens and adults.

These independent organizations and links are shared as a starting point—not as a substitute for counseling, legal advice, or emergency care. REVELA does not control their services. Availability, eligibility, fees, privacy practices, and contact details can change; confirm directly with each organization.

If something has happened to you, someone is hurting or controlling you, or you are unsure what to do next, you can start here. You do not need to know what to call your experience.
Sexual Abuse & Survivor Support
Support is available for people who have experienced sexual abuse or assault. You do not have to decide what to call your experience before reaching out.
Her Well Center is a separate nonprofit offering survivor-focused information and support. Its team can explain its services, eligibility, and next steps directly.

Abuse in Relationships & Safety
Abuse can be physical, emotional, sexual, financial, or digital. If someone is controlling, threatening, or hurting you, you deserve support. You do not have to be certain or ready to leave to explore your options.
Human trafficking can involve force, fraud, or coercion for labor or commercial sex. You do not need to identify a situation perfectly to ask questions or seek help.
Some situations call for support beyond counseling. These independent organizations may offer legal information, victim advocacy, or help understanding available options. REVELA does not provide legal advice or determine eligibility.

Teen and adult figures come from SAMHSA’s 2025 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the most recent national survey, released in July 2026. National surveys take about a year to publish, so these are the newest numbers available. The surveys use different definitions, so numbers are not directly comparable. Check each link for updates. These figures are general education, not a diagnosis.
Glossary
Words you may hear in therapy.
Clear definitions, so nothing in a session feels like a foreign language. These are general explanations, not a promise that any method will be used in your care.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
A structured, practical approach that helps you notice unhelpful thought patterns and change how you respond to them. It is one of the most researched therapies for anxiety and depression.
Psychoeducation
Plain-language learning about what you are experiencing and what helps, so therapy is something you understand and take part in.
Grounding
Simple techniques, like naming 5 things you can see, that bring you back to the present when anxiety or stress spikes.
Telehealth
Therapy by secure video from home, with less travel and easier scheduling.
LPC Associate
A Texas counselor with a master’s degree who is earning supervised hours toward full LPC licensure, practicing under a board-approved supervisor.

What type of counseling do you provide?
REVELA Counseling provides virtual counseling for teens and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationships, and personal growth.
Who do you work with?
I work with adults and teenagers ages 13–17. For clients under 18, consent requirements and the role of a parent or legal guardian are reviewed before counseling begins.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. All sessions are held virtually through secure video. You need to be located in Texas during each session.
Do you offer sessions in Spanish?
Sí. Counseling is available in both English and Español.
Do you work with LGBTQ+ clients?
Yes. REVELA is a welcoming, affirming space for LGBTQ+ teens and adults. You never have to explain or defend who you are here.
Who will I be working with?
I am Susan Cáceres, an LPC Associate licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. I practice under the supervision of Traci Wagner, LPC-S and Laura Cintron, LPC-S. I talk through my work with my supervisors, who follow the same confidentiality rules.
How much do sessions cost?
Counseling is private pay. An individual or teen counseling session (50 minutes) is $125, and the initial intake session (60 minutes) is $135. A complimentary 15-minute consultation is available at no cost. Eligible uninsured or self-pay clients may request a Good Faith Estimate.
Do you accept insurance?
Counseling at REVELA is private pay, so sessions aren’t billed directly through insurance. Many clients use HSA/FSA cards, and a superbill is available on request for possible out-of-network reimbursement. See how private pay works for details.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes, with legal limits that I explain in writing before we begin. You will review and sign an informed consent document before we begin.
What happens during the first session?
The first session is a chance to talk through what brings you to counseling, share your goals, and get a feel for how therapy can support you moving forward.
How long are sessions?
Individual sessions are 50 minutes. Your first intake session is 60 minutes, and the free consultation is 15 minutes.
What if I feel nervous about starting therapy?
That is completely normal. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Therapy begins with simply starting a conversation.
What if I am in crisis?
REVELA is not an emergency service. If you are in crisis, call or text 988. If you are in danger, call 911. You can also visit Crisis Support.
Still wondering?
A free 15-minute consultation is a no-pressure way to ask anything.
REVELA Counseling is not an emergency or crisis service, and messages sent through this website are not monitored around the clock. If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, please use one of the resources below right away, or look to the organizations further down for more specialized support.
If something in a relationship, home, workplace, or online space leaves you feeling afraid, controlled, pressured, or unsure, you can explore support here. You do not have to know what to call your experience—or decide whether it is a crisis—to look for information. You deserve care and choices, at your own pace. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
You can start with information, confidential support, or practical options. You decide what feels safe to explore.
For your privacy: Quick Exit opens another website, but it does not erase browser history or device activity. If possible, use a device the other person cannot access.
A safety plan is a practical plan for staying safer: at home, while getting ready to leave, and afterward. An advocate can build one with you for free, and it can fit your real life. Call 1-800-799-7233 or text START to 88788. Here are some starting points.
If you are still in the situation
Think about which rooms have exits and a phone, and try to stay away from rooms with no way out or things that could be used as weapons.
Choose a code word with someone you trust that means “please get help.”
Keep your phone charged, and know how to reach 911 quietly. Ask local emergency services whether texting 911 is available where you live.
Memorize two or three phone numbers, in case you cannot use your phone.
If you are getting ready to leave
Keep a small bag somewhere safe, or with someone you trust: ID, important papers, medicine, keys, a little cash, and a phone charger.
Think about where you could go, how you would get there, and who could help with children or pets.
The time around leaving can carry extra risk, so it helps to plan with an advocate first. Advocates can also explain protective orders and shelter options.
Phones, accounts, and privacy
A phone or computer can be monitored. If you are worried, use a device the other person cannot reach, such as one at a library or a trusted friend’s, to look for help.
Change passwords from a safe device, and look for apps or location sharing you did not set up. Turning something off can alert the other person, so an advocate can help you decide how.
Browsing history cannot always be hidden. Use a private window if you can, and use the Quick exit button.
If it is safe, keep dated notes, screenshots, and photos somewhere the other person cannot find them.
You know your situation best. Trust your instincts, and change the plan whenever you need to.
Abuse is not always physical, and it often starts small. You may notice someone who:
checks your phone, messages, or location all the time
gets angry or jealous when you spend time with friends or family
puts you down, threatens you, or makes you afraid to disagree
controls your money, your ID, or where you can go
pressures you for sex, or does not stop when you say no
blames you for their behavior, apologizes, and then it happens again
If you feel afraid of someone, that matters, even if nothing physical has happened.
Recognizing human trafficking and exploitation
Trafficking is when someone uses force, fraud, or pressure to make a person work or take part in commercial sex. Signs can include a person who:
does not control their own ID, money, phone, or travel
owes a debt they are told they can never pay off
is made to work or perform sex acts they did not agree to, or is threatened if they refuse
is under 18 and involved in commercial sex, which counts as trafficking even without force or pressure
seems frightened or isolated, or is not allowed to speak for themselves
You do not have to be sure. If you are worried about yourself or someone else, you can call 1-888-373-7888 or text 233733.
Counseling is confidential, with legal limits. For example, Texas law requires counselors to report suspected abuse or neglect of a child, or of an older adult or a person with a disability. I explain these limits in writing before we begin, so you can decide what to share.
