Virtual • Texas


Hi, I'm Brittany — a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience helping adults navigate some of life's hardest chapters. I believe every person deserves care that's as unique as they are. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, unresolved trauma, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship or family conflict. My approach draws on evidence-based tools — including DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused techniques — woven together with a genuine belief in your capacity to grow. I hold a Master's degree in Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida and went on to practice therapy in three different states where I’ve worked with people from many different walks of life and cultural backgrounds. I offer telehealth sessions, so you can access quality care from wherever you feel most comfortable. Let me help you make the changes that you want to see!

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.
