MacKenzie Lockhart

Therapist

Virtual • Amarillo, TX


My name is MacKenzie, and I’m a proud Texas native from the Panhandle. After earning my Bachelor’s in Psychology in 2012, I began my career in the helping field and later completed my Master’s in Counseling at West Texas A&M University in 2016.

I began by working with teens in foster care and later transitioned to supporting youth involved in the juvenile justice system. I then spent over a decade working in public schools, providing mental health support to students, families, and staff. In addition to my work with teens, I developed a deep appreciation for working with women during my time at a nonprofit counseling agency.

I have also been involved in helping found a local nonprofit organization that provides free counseling services to youth. I currently serve as a board member of the Amarillo Mental Health Professionals group and volunteer with American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, including engaging in public policy advocacy at both the state and federal levels.

I’m passionate about empowering others and helping them to heal, grow, and find their voice. My counseling style is eclectic, with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Lizbeth Barrera

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Liz, a therapist who believes healing starts with feeling truly seen and heard. My approach is gentle but direct, and I focus on what’s actually working in your life while finding small, realistic steps toward change. Many of the people I work with are women navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, or the challenges of motherhood. I also understand that sometimes we’re not trying to thrive , we’re just trying to survive in a world that can feel heavy and unpredictable. My goal is to help you make sense of that survival mode, find steadiness within it, and slowly reconnect with you again.

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 Mental Health 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.
