Xaria Hicks

Therapist Xaria Hicks offers comprehensive and collaborative support to individuals across the lifespan at Lifeologie Counseling Dallas. She currently provides online therapy for teens and adults, with an integrative approach that considers each client’s developmental, socioemotional, psychological, and physical needs. Her therapeutic work incorporates an eclectic mix of Existentialism, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), expressive techniques, and psychoeducation to foster meaningful change.

Her background includes Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) to strengthen parent-child relationships and support healthier family dynamics. She also has specialized training in Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), an approach that recognizes play as a natural language through which children express emotions, communicate experiences, and process their inner worlds. Although she is not currently accepting play therapy clients, this experience informs her understanding of developmental needs, socioemotional expression, relationships, and the ways individuals thrive across different stages of life.

Xaria earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas (UNT), where she also received her Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Behavior Analysis. She also holds a Master’s in Health Psychology from University College London in the United Kingdom.

Outside of therapy sessions, Xaria embraces being a foodie, traveling abroad, working on creative projects, gaming, and recharging with a hot Pilates class.
