Being Real, PLLC is a private counseling practice based in Austin, Texas, operated by licensed professional counselor Allison Briggs, M.Ed, LPC. The site has a clear focus: it serves adults dealing with developmental or relational trauma, codependency, people-pleasing patterns, boundary difficulties, caregiver stress, women’s issues, and LGBTQIA+ concerns, offering in-person therapy as well as online therapy within Texas.
Its main services include EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS-informed parts work, counseling for adult survivors of childhood trauma, codependency counseling, caregiver support, therapy for women’s issues, individual therapy for LGBTQIA+ clients, and add-on MBTI insight sessions. The therapeutic approach emphasizes trauma-informed, collaborative care. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, it also addresses attachment trauma, nervous system dysregulation, integration of inner parts, and rebuilding self-trust.
The crawled content does not show specific self-pay rates, but the FAQ clearly states that the practice currently accepts Aetna and United Healthcare. The website offers a “15-minute consultation” option, which is useful for checking fit, availability, and fees before committing. For users, pricing transparency is somewhat limited; before booking a formal appointment, it is advisable to ask directly about self-pay rates, insurance coverage, cancellation policies, and eligibility restrictions for teletherapy.
The strengths are its clear professional boundaries, well-defined therapeutic niches, and disclosure of license number, educational background, and professional experience. The content pages explain EMDR, Brainspotting, codependency, and complex trauma in reasonable depth, which can reduce uncertainty for first-time clients. Its inclusive positioning toward LGBTQIA+ clients, women, and caregivers is also clearly expressed. The downsides are that service availability is geographically limited, primarily to Texas; insurance options are limited; the English-only interface may be inconvenient for Chinese-speaking users; and, as a small practice, appointment capacity may be less stable than on larger platforms.
This practice is best suited for people living in Texas who want medium- to long-term, in-depth psychotherapy—especially those who struggle with chronic people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, repeated hurt in intimate relationships, childhood emotional neglect, or heavy caregiver stress. If you are looking for immediate crisis intervention, psychiatric medication management, Chinese-language counseling, or cross-border online therapy, you should choose more appropriate local medical services or crisis hotline resources.
The website itself is usually directly accessible, but its clinical services are limited by U.S. state licensing rules and are not intended to provide routine psychotherapy to users in mainland China. Chinese-speaking users may still find it useful as an English-language resource for learning about EMDR, Brainspotting, and codependency-related topics.
