Keil Davis, LPC

A Houston based Counselor

Hello, I'm Keil Davis, the founder of HTX Counseling and Wellness. I’m passionate about supporting individuals in navigating life’s challenges and building a fulfilling, balanced life. With 12 years of experience as a counselor, I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients gain clarity, embrace change, and take committed action toward the life they want to create.

I approach my work with a blend of compassion, mindfulness, and ease. I believe in meeting you where you are and guiding you through challenges with authenticity and grace.

Outside of counseling, I mostly enjoy either being in nature or on a tennis court, I also enjoy time spent woodworking, learning about history, and time spent with my wife and two orange cats, Zeus and Wayne.

How I Work With You

Rather than giving you a one-size-fits-all formula, I tailor our work to your needs. My approach is grounded in helping you:

  • Make space for your emotions without getting stuck in them

  • Untangle from the thoughts that keep you feeling small or stuck

  • Show up more fully in your life, even when it’s uncomfortable

  • Clarify what really matters to you—and take steps that reflect that

My work is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), but you don’t need to memorize any frameworks. What matters most is how therapy helps you feel stronger, freer, and more like yourself again.

The Relationship Matters

While I draw from the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), therapy is never just about strategies or interventions. At its core, healing happens in the context of a safe, authentic relationship. The space we create together becomes a foundation for exploring your inner world with openness, curiosity, and compassion.

ACT emphasizes psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present, connect with what matters, and take meaningful action even in the face of pain. These processes don’t happen in isolation. In our work together, the relationship becomes a live space where you can practice showing up as you are, contacting your values, and noticing the habits and defenses that may have once protected you, but no longer serve you.

Through this connection, therapy offers not just insight, but experience: the felt sense of being accepted, supported, and invited into a new way of relating—not only with me, but eventually with yourself and others. That’s where real change begins.
