Misty Lea

Misty Lea brings a unique combination of more than 25 years of corporate leadership experience and a compassionate, practical approach to counseling. Having spent much of her career in Corporate Treasury and Accounting, Misty understands the pressures of balancing professional responsibilities, personal relationships, financial demands, and the expectations we place on ourselves. She brings that real-world perspective into her counseling work, helping clients recognize patterns that may be affecting their emotional wellbeing and relationships. She has appointments available now for online and in-person sessions at Lifeologie Counseling Rockwall.

Misty works with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of life experiences and stages, supporting clients as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, family dynamics, addictive behaviors, emotional dysregulation, intrusive thoughts, and identity-related concerns. She strives to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, better understand themselves, and develop practical tools for moving forward.

Her approach blends counseling with psychoeducation, helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Misty believes that the way we speak to ourselves can influence how we experience the world and interact with others. Through approaches that may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, self-compassion, and positive reinforcement of healthy coping strategies, she helps clients build awareness of their patterns, recognize their strengths, and make intentional changes that support their well-being.

As a counselor and Certified Family Life Educator-Provisional, Misty is especially interested in the everyday skills that contribute to healthier lives and relationships. This can include communication, emotional awareness, boundaries, relationship patterns, coping strategies, and financial well-being. Her background in finance also gives her a distinctive perspective when working with clients who want to explore the beliefs, experiences, and habits that influence their relationship with money.

Misty earned her Bachelor's in Family Studies from Texas Woman's University and her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Amberton University. She is also Level 1 Certified in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Her counseling perspective is spiritually inclusive and grounded in empathy, respect, curiosity, and authentic connection.

Misty believes meaningful growth does not require having everything figured out or changing everything overnight. Sometimes it begins with recognizing one thought, making one different choice, practicing a little more self-compassion, or taking one small step toward a healthier pattern.

Outside the counseling room, she is a proud mom, spiritual seeker, and lifelong roller-skating enthusiast who enjoys jam skating at local Dallas rinks. She also avidly plays Pokémon GO and appreciates the opportunities gaming communities can create for connection, social support, and belonging.
