Samantha Johnson

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I have a master's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and bring over seven years of experience working primarily with adolescents. My professional background spans a variety of settings, including crisis intervention, outpatient clinics, and residential programs.

With over seven years of experience as a therapist, I have helped clients ranging from children to adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, relationship challenges, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. May come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to the individual needs of each client. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to do it alone. I provide a compassionate, safe, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to navigate life’s challenges, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to reach out.

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.
