Hello, looking for a place to process life? Feeling isolated and alone? Need an outlet? I've been providing talk therapy to adult men and women (and adolescents) since 2013 in several different treatment settings. Safe, open, supportive, but also directive when solutions are needed though space to simply talk through issues and life (Depression, anxiety, hypomania, stress, relationships, relaxation, etc.) I'm a clinical supervisor and terminally licensed in three states (PA,NM, & TX). I'm a husband and father with a young family, enjoy sports and cooking with and for family.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.
Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.
My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be
You look like you have it together—but inside, your relationship feels strained, communication breaks down, or anxiety and overthinking take over. Whether you’re a couple stuck in the same arguments, a teen struggling emotionally, or an adult feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure this out alone. I provide therapy in San Antonio for couples, teens, and adults who want real, lasting change. I specialize in “couples therapy,” “teen counseling,” and “therapy for anxiety and relationship issues,” helping clients improve communication, manage emotions, and break unhealthy patterns.
I take a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy, tailoring my treatment approach to each client's unique needs and goals. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients better understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and reactions.
I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop greater acceptance of difficult emotions and circumstances that may be out of their control while taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. With seven years of experience as a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I utilize evidence-based skills and mindfulness practices to help clients improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build resilience.
Hi! My name is Monica McKee. I’m a passionate LMFT dedicated to helping couples, individuals, and first responder families navigate life’s challenges, heal from past wounds, and strengthen their relationships. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, working through trauma, or seeking greater self-understanding, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.
I’ve been married for 25 years and understand that relationships can bring both joy and struggle. This personal experience, combined with my clinical training, allows me to approach couples work with empathy and practical insight. As the spouse of a first responder, I also have a deep appreciation for the unique stressors first responder families face and am honored to support them in therapy. I speak conversational Spanish and enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds.
I specialize in helping couples and families reconnect and heal through an attachment-based approach, exploring how early relationships influence the ways we love, trust, and communicate. I’m trained in EMDR and I'm a Gottman Method Couples Level 2 practitioner, an evidence-based approach that helps couples improve communication, deepen emotional connection, and rebuild trust.
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in Clinical Psychology from Pennsylvania State University in 2010, and my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University in 2023, with a focus on trauma.
I enjoy exploring to find problems' root causes and help adults find their way to what they most want: Decreased Anxiety/Worry/Stress/Panic, Personal Development, Life Transitions, Spiritual Exploration, Career Transitions, Direction, Purpose and Fulfillment, Mindfulness & Meditation Training, Communication & Relationship Skills, Grief & Loss, Decreased Depression, Trauma Resolution, Self-Esteem/Self-Image.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fort Worth
Finding addiction therapists in Fort Worth starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can address alcohol use, drug use, nicotine use, gambling, sexual addiction, and related concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or trauma. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to work on. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction approaches. Some people may also work with a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team.
Fort Worth has many therapists, which can make it harder to narrow your search across neighborhoods, schedules, and appointment formats. In-person care may work well if you prefer an office setting near home, work, or school. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you need more flexibility or want to consider therapists beyond a close commute. As you compare therapists, look at availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. Therapist bios can help you see whether someone has experience with recovery support, relapse prevention, harm reduction, or non-judgmental care.
Therapy in Fort Worth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, filter by specialty and availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare addiction therapists in Fort Worth, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
