About Mason
Mason (Trae) Sweatt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of counseling experience. He combines a background in pastoral work with a decade of direct counseling to help people navigate hard moments. Trae aims to help individuals sort through present struggles and past hurts so they can move toward clearer purpose.
Trae spent many years working in church settings alongside counseling roles. That work involved supporting students ages 8 to 18 as well as adults and couples. Those experiences shaped a practical, straightforward style focused on real-life change rather than abstract theory.
In sessions he uses approaches that fit the person and the issue. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. He also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals and Trauma-Focused work when past hurts are central to the concern.
People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting strain, career decisions, and issues tied to abandonment or adoption and foster care. He also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, and forgiveness work.
Trae describes his role as a guide who talks through practical steps and supports clients as they try new ways of coping. He emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and skills people can use between sessions to handle life changes and rebuild confidence.
How Trae's Approaches Work Online
Trae uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behavior. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small experiments people can try between sessions to test new ways of thinking.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and track progress from session to session. That approach keeps conversations forward looking and concentrates on steps that make an immediate difference. When past trauma is central, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address painful memories and reduce their day-to-day impact through structured work tailored to each person.
Choosing the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then recommend strategies to try. Plans can be adjusted as work unfolds so the approach stays useful and realistic.
