Finding a Therapist in Southlake, TX: What to Look For
By Helena Roberson, M.A, NCC, LPC-S

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. Knowing what to prioritize can make the search feel less overwhelming—especially in a thriving community like Southlake and the greater DFW area.
Credentials and Specializations Matter
Look for licensed professionals—LPCs, LMFTs, or LCSWs in Texas. Beyond licensure, consider whether the therapist has experience with your specific concerns, whether that's anxiety, trauma, couples issues, or LGBTQIA+ affirming care.
Therapeutic Approach
Different therapists use different modalities: CBT for anxiety and depression, EMDR for trauma, Solution-Focused Therapy for goal-oriented work, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. At Better You Counseling, our team tailors the approach to each client's needs.
Practical Considerations
Does the practice accept your insurance? Aetna, BCBS, United, Cigna, and Tricare are commonly accepted in the Southlake area. Are telehealth sessions available? What's the office location and availability like?
The Therapeutic Relationship
Research shows the relationship between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of success. Our practice at 508 Silicon Dr in Southlake serves Keller, Grapevine, Colleyville, Trophy Club, and the entire DFW metroplex.
