Lori T. Candrian, Ms, LPC

A Person - Centered Counseling Approach to Support Personal Growth

Lori Candrian


Hello and welcome to my page. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have been in the helping profession throughout my professional career. I am excited about the possibility of meeting you in Alvin, Texas for counseling services.


I started my career as a head resident for a girl’s dormitory at Texas A&M Commerce (formerly East Texas State University) after which I provided outpatient individual and group psychotherapy services for adults with chronic mental illness at the Gulf Coast Center. After 8 years of working at the Gulf Coast Center, I joined Devereux Texas Treatment Network providing inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy services for the adult and geriatric population.


I established my private counseling practice in 1997. I have always enjoyed helping pre-teens, teens, adults, families, and couples explore their own thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences to gain insight, new coping strategies, and confidence to create positive changes in their personal or professional lives. My goal has always been for these changes to allow each individual to have a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Some of the counseling techniques I utilize to meet individual needs include cognitive behavioral techniques, psychoeducation, bibliotherapy, trauma intervention, cognitive processing therapy for PTSD, and traditional talk therapy. 


I am married with two adult children and an active volunteer in my church and community.

 I enjoy making scrapbooks and traveling. 

I would be happy to visit your club or organization and speak on a variety of mental health topics.
