Marilyn Balke-Lowry, LPC

Marilyn Balke-Lowry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 40 years of experience. She works with adults and teens on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and motivation. She also addresses life transitions and aging-related challenges. Marilyn writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

In sessions she helps people talk through difficult feelings and recurring patterns that trace back to their family of origin. Conversations often look at expectations learned in childhood and how those habits show up in current relationships. She listens for recurring roles and control issues that make daily life harder and helps people name what they notice.

Her work also covers communication problems, codependency, commitment questions, and separation or divorce. People dealing with chronic illness, chronic pain, or the challenges of blended families can bring those concerns to sessions and get concrete help. Marilyn pays attention to guilt, shame, and midlife questions about life purpose.

Therapy with her tends to be straightforward. She aims to create a space where clients can say what is on their mind and try out new ways of responding. Sessions include examining patterns, learning simple coping strategies, and practicing different approaches to communication.

Marilyn has worked in schools and private practice over four decades. That background shapes how she supports people who want to change repeating family patterns, regain steady routines, and handle life’s shifts with clearer thinking.
