Grounded, thoughtful therapy for teen girls and women in Frisco, Texas and online
For those who look like they’re coping on the outside but feel chronically tense, overwhelmed, or worn down inside.
About Madilynn Szoboszlay, LCSW
Hi, I’m Madilynn Szoboszlay, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Storied Souls Therapy, PLLC. I offer limited in-person therapy in Frisco, Texas, and virtual therapy for clients physically located in Texas, Arizona, and Montana.
I help teen girls and women who appear capable on the outside but live with chronic internal tension, emotional overload, or emotional shutdown begin to feel steadier and more at ease in themselves again.
Parents often reach out when their daughter is withdrawing, melting down, or overwhelmed by everyday demands, especially when she looks “fine” to others.
Women often come in feeling numb, irritable, or constantly on edge after years of pushing themselves too hard. Therapy focuses on interrupting long-standing patterns of perfectionism, over-responsibility, and survival-based coping so clients can move out of constant self-pressure and into a more grounded, sustainable way of living.
Christian faith integration is available for clients who want it and is always client-led.
My Work and Why I Do This
I bring clinical experience across the developmental spectrum, with my primary focus centered on teen girls and adult women navigating anxiety, emotional overload, and high-pressure coping patterns. Many of the clients I work with have learned how to function well under sustained pressure.
On the outside, life appears handled and capable. But internally, there is often a constant sense of bracing, pushing through, or holding everything together.
Over time, living this way can lead to chronic anxiety, irritability, emotional shutdown, or difficulty resting without guilt. Many clients seek therapy not because of a single crisis, but because the pace and pressure of daily life have quietly become unsustainable.
This work is slower and more intentional than surface-level therapy. Lasting change requires internal safety rather than more effort.
My role is to help you understand the patterns keeping your nervous system under strain and support you in building steadiness, clarity, and trust in yourself again.
This therapy may be a good fit if you or your daughter are:
• A teen girl who feels tense, overwhelmed, or shut down despite doing well on the outside
• A parent noticing emotional meltdowns, withdrawal, or exhaustion in a daughter who used to seem “fine”
• A woman who feels constantly on edge, numb, or emotionally worn down
• Someone who struggles to slow down or rest without guilt
For Those Seeking Depth, Not Quick Fixes.
Looking for grounded, thoughtful therapy rather than quick fixes often means you are tired of strategies that ask you to cope better without actually feeling better. You may want space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and experience real steadiness rather than just pushing through the week.
This is therapy for those who are tired of living under constant internal pressure and want a more sustainable way of being.
My Approach to Therapy
My approach is grounded, intentional, and collaborative. Therapy is a space to slow things down and understand what your nervous system, emotions, and patterns have been carrying over time.
Rather than asking you to tolerate more, our work focuses on reducing the internal load so regulation and relief can emerge naturally.
How Therapy Helps You Feel Steadier
What Guides This Work
I use trauma-informed, evidence-based practices and tailor therapy to your goals and pace.
I believe therapy should feel steady, respectful, and deeply attuned to your nervous system. Sessions are not about fixing you or pushing for insight before your system is ready. They are about creating enough internal safety for real change to unfold, without pressure or performance.
For clients who desire it, Christian faith integration can be included in a thoughtful, client-led way that supports healing rather than adds pressure.
Experience and Training That Support Lasting Change
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas (#116244), Arizona (#22243), and Montana (#64897). My work focuses on anxiety, emotional overload, perfectionism, and high-pressure coping patterns, primarily supporting teen girls and adult women, with clinical experience working with children. I use trauma-informed, client-centered, evidence-based care.
This work is designed to support meaningful, lasting change rather than surface-level relief.
Why Private-Pay Therapy
Many women and parents choose private-pay therapy because they are looking for depth, consistency, and focused expertise rather than short-term symptom management.
Private-pay care allows for consistent, uninterrupted sessions, work with a therapist who has a clear clinical focus, and freedom from diagnosis-driven or insurance-limited treatment. It also creates space to work at a pace that supports real, lasting change rather than rushing toward symptom reduction.
This approach is especially supportive for clients who are used to functioning under pressure and are ready for real internal relief, not another strategy to manage.
You do not have to keep holding it together alone.
If you or your daughter are ready to step out of constant internal pressure and begin feeling steadier and more supported, I invite you to schedule a free consultation. This brief conversation allows us to talk through what is happening and whether this approach feels like the right fit.
