    Biofeedback Therapy in Plano, Texas

    Evidence-based support for stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation—without medication.

    What Is Biofeedback Therapy?

    Biofeedback is a safe, non-invasive approach that teaches you how to regulate your body’s response to stress using real-time feedback from your physiology.

    By tracking your heart rate variability (HRV)—a key indicator of your nervous system health—biofeedback sessions help you recognize how stress affects your body and mind. With guided breathing and mental focus techniques, you’ll learn to shift into a state of calm, clarity, and emotional control.

    How Biofeedback Works

    Each session includes:

    • Real-time monitoring of your HRV using advanced sensor technology
    • Visual feedback so you can see your stress levels and progress
    • Breathing and focus techniques to shift your nervous system into a balanced, coherent state
    • Guided coaching to help you master emotional regulation strategies you can use anytime—at work, in relationships, or during tough moments

    Over time, biofeedback helps you rewire how your body reacts to stress—giving you long-term tools for well-being.

     

     

    How Emotional States Affect Your Heart Rhythm

    This illustration shows the difference between a stress-driven heart rhythm and a self-regulated one.

    When you’re feeling frustration, anxiety, or overwhelm, your heart rhythm becomes erratic—leading to what’s called incoherence, a state that inhibits brain function and emotional control.

    In contrast, when you engage in calm, positive emotional states like appreciation or care, your heart rhythm becomes smooth and consistent. This coherent state supports clearer thinking, better emotional regulation, and improved physical health.

    Biofeedback therapy teaches you how to shift from stress to coherence—on demand.

    What is heart rate variability (HRV) and why does it matter?

    HRV is the variation in time between heartbeats and is a reliable indicator of how well your nervous system manages stress. Higher HRV is associated with better emotional regulation, stress recovery, and resilience.

    Is biofeedback the same as neurofeedback?

    No. While both are forms of bio-regulation, biofeedback measures physical signals like heart rate, breathing, and muscle tension. Neurofeedback focuses on brainwave activity. At our practice, we specialize in HRV-based biofeedback—a gentle, effective way to train your nervous system for better stress response.

    How many sessions do I need?

    Most clients benefit from 6 to 10 sessions, depending on their goals and consistency with home practice. Some clients choose periodic maintenance sessions after their initial series.

    Is biofeedback covered by insurance?

    Biofeedback at our practice is currently self-pay only. Sessions are $110 each and focused on skill-building, which often makes it a short-term and cost-effective investment in long-term well-being.

    Can I do biofeedback at home?

    Our sessions are conducted in person with real-time guidance from a trained therapist. While some people explore at-home devices, our clinical model ensures personalized coaching and feedback for deeper results.

    Is there scientific research supporting biofeedback?

    Yes. HRV biofeedback is backed by decades of research showing significant improvements in anxiety, depression, cognitive functioning, and stress-related physical health symptoms.
