Sometimes life shifts in ways we do not expect. You may notice yourself reacting differently in certain situations, feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to come out of nowhere, or getting stuck in thoughts you cannot quiet. You might find yourself wondering why you ruminate, why certain people or moments affect you so deeply, or why you act differently in relationships, even when you want things to be better.

These reactions are often linked to attachment experiences from childhood, unresolved past experiences, or even traumatic events later in life. The body and mind hold onto these experiences, and they can surface when we least expect them. Therapy is a space to slow down and understand what is happening, rather than feeling confused or frustrated by it.

I work with children, teens, and adults using an attachment-based and trauma-informed approach that helps clients understand the conflicts that happen inside themselves and within their relationships. Many people experience parts of themselves that want different things at the same time, such as closeness and distance, or feel strong emotions that do not seem to match the situation. Therapy helps make sense of these internal struggles with curiosity rather than judgment.

Melissa Davison

Melissa Davison

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Texarkana, TX


Hi, I’m Missy Davison, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients in Texas and Arkansas. With over 17 years of experience, I specialize in helping older teens and adults heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life’s difficult challenges.

As a Christian trauma therapist, I believe healing is possible and that no one should have to walk through their struggles alone. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward lasting healing and peace.

I am trained in evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). Together, we will find the approach that best fits your unique needs, helping you process painful experiences, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and move forward with greater confidence and freedom.

For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian faith into the counseling process, offering a foundation of hope, grace, and encouragement alongside proven therapeutic techniques.

Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you move from surviving to truly living with greater peace, healing, and hope.

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.
