Pierce Anderson

Pierce Anderson is a compassionate therapist who works with adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, stress management, and identity development. If you've ever read Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay Gibson, or find yourself nodding along to the title alone, Pierce may be exactly who you're looking for. He specializes in working with adult children of divorce and is well acquainted with the unique struggles experienced by people with chaotic upbringings. From subtle attachment issues to outright loyalty conflicts, Pierce takes pride in helping clients learn what it looks like to choose themselves, even when it seems impossible.

Pierce’s therapeutic approach is direct, nonjudgmental, and personalized to each client. He understands that you’re likely reaching out because you want to feel different, and that task won’t look the same for everybody. He also has the ability to recognize when he is not the perfect fit for a client, and when that’s the case, he makes it his personal mission to connect them with someone who is.

Pierce operates from the perspective that struggling people generally aren’t “broken” but often are relying on a set of tools that no longer works for them. He finds great fulfilment in helping clients identify these ‘tools’ and empowering them to decide what stays and what gets replaced.

In sessions, Pierce blends elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and person-centered therapy to help clients uncover patterns, confront avoidance, and identify decisions that align with their personal values through an evidence-based lens.

Pierce earned his Bachelor's in Psychology from Louisiana Tech University, where he met his wife. He graduated with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas (UNTD) and is currently practicing as an LPC-Associate at Lifeologie Counseling Dallas Uptown and Oak Cliff locations under the supervision of Melanie Wells, LPC-S. Outside the office, Pierce’s love for competition keeps him busy, and he can often be found rolling in Jiu Jitsu or competing in esports tournaments.
