Dr. Maritza Rodriguez

Dr. Maritza Rodriguez

Therapist

Virtual • Kyle, TX


My philosophy begins inside the heart of my clients. As a former elementary teacher, I learned the valuable lesson that my clients will never care what I know or had to teach them until they knew I cared about them. This lesson is applicable in so many instances, and especially when I counsel. I enjoy getting to know every client on a personal level. I want to know them as a person, and especially what they enjoy most. That is one reason why I am passionate about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This technique incorporates what clients are interesting in learning about themselves, which is often to engage and discover their true potential, and in doing so, they are more at ease to have meaningful conversations.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor practicing in Texas (67510). I earned a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) from Walden University in 2024 and a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University in Austin, TX in 2009. I have 15 years of experience as a substance abuse and child psychotherapist. I am also a Clinical Certified Sand Tray Therapist.

My internship was with the Hays Caldwell Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse's Intensive Outpatient Program for clients who were court mandated to receive treatment.

My dissertation was titled "Designing Organizational Systems to Support Achievement of Performance Goals in Student Mental Health"

Alexis Garcia

Alexis Garcia

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Originally from California, I now happily call Austin, Texas home. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from the University of the Incarnate Word, my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University, and I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision with a concentration in Neurofeedback Therapy.

Throughout my career, I have worked with clients ranging from 4 to 90 years old in nonprofit organizations, private practice, and correctional facilities. These diverse experiences have strengthened my ability to meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs.

I believe that therapy is built on a foundation of trust, authenticity, and collaboration. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, supported, and empowered. I value the relationships I build with my clients and consider it a privilege to walk alongside them as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Hi, I’m Corey. Life can get complicated, and sometimes the patterns that once helped us cope begin creating new challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling in your relationships, carrying the weight of past experiences, or finding yourself stuck in habits you can’t seem to break, therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening, and start making changes that feel possible.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Texas

Searching for therapists in Texas starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across a state as large and varied as Texas, therapy needs and available therapists can differ across urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches your needs. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others may focus on specific populations or concerns.

Location and format also matter when comparing Texas therapists. In larger areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, you may have many choices, while other parts of the state may have fewer local options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access from home. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.

The cost of therapy in Texas can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Texas therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and are ready to take new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
