You’re Not Alone: Why We’re Seeing More Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma Than Ever


Mental health challenges are rising especially anxiety, depression, and trauma. According to Frontiers in Psychiatry, over 30% of people globally now report anxiety, with nearly one in five showing symptoms of PTSD. These aren’t just numbers. These are real lives people trying to make it through each day while feeling overwhelmed, numb, or stuck.
Here in Austin, we’re seeing this firsthand. And if you’re feeling the weight of it all you’re not alone.
We’re Joe Roller Counseling. And We’re Here for You.
We’re a small, heart-centered therapy practice in Austin, TX offering care for people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and men’s mental health. Whether you’re a high-functioning professional with hidden burnout, a parent struggling to keep it together, or someone carrying old wounds that still sting we help you slow down, tune in, and start healing.
Our approach is trauma-informed, relationship-focused, and deeply human. You don’t need to put on a brave face here.
Struggling with Anxiety?
Anxiety shows up in many forms racing thoughts, overthinking, panic, or even irritability. It can make you feel like you’re always “on,” but never really present.
We help clients work through anxiety by exploring its roots, not just managing the symptoms. Our anxiety therapy in Austin, TX is designed to help you feel calm in your body and confident in your choices.
Living with Depression?
Depression can feel like carrying a heavy fog. You might feel numb, unmotivated, or disconnected from the things you used to care about. And it doesn’t always show on the outside.
Through our depression treatment in Austin, TX, we help people reconnect to their sense of self gently, without judgment, and at their own pace.
We Take Trauma Seriously Especially When It’s Quiet
Whether it’s childhood pain, relational abuse, or a series of unresolved experiences, trauma can quietly shape how we think, feel, and function. And it doesn’t just go away with time.
Our trauma therapy in Austin, TX includes somatic (body-based), narrative, and mindfulness practices that help you make sense of the pain not get lost in it.
Special Focus: Men’s Mental Health
Men are hurting, too but not always in obvious ways. We work with men of all backgrounds who struggle with emotional shutdown, pressure to “perform,” disconnection in relationships, or lingering trauma from childhood or family systems.
We offer men’s trauma treatment in Austin, TX that doesn’t feel clinical or performative just real, honest, and grounded. From one-on-one therapy to our “Men & Meaning” group, we’re creating a safe place where men can drop the mask and talk about what really matters.
If you’re searching for a men’s therapist in Austin, TX, you’re in the right place.
Why Now? Because You Deserve to Feel Whole
We understand how much courage it takes to ask for help. Whether you’re coming in for the first time or returning to therapy after years away, we’re here to meet you where you are.
“The world isn’t getting any lighter,” says Joe Roller, founder and lead therapist.
“But that doesn’t mean you have to carry it all by yourself.”

Joe Roller Counseling
Hi, I'm Joe Roller. I'm a trauma counselor because I believe in the power of healing — and I know how important it is to have someone walk alongside you through it. For years, I've been helping individuals who are carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, and life’s tough transitions. My approach is simple: create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. Together, we'll work at your pace, using proven techniques that help you process what you've been through and build the life you want moving forward. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model. Every person’s story is different, and your counseling experience should be, too. Whether you're working through the effects of past trauma, feeling stuck in grief, or simply trying to manage everyday stress, I'm here to help you reconnect with your own resilience. I offer both in-person sessions and secure online counseling, so you can get the support you need in a way that feels right for you. Healing is possible — and you don’t have to do it alone. If you're ready to take that first step, I'm ready to walk with you.
