Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

I am a seasoned counselor familiar with adolescents, issues of personal development, empowerment, issues about personal power, overcoming fear, and identifying values. I value honesty, courage, self-actualization and altruism. I have worked almost exclusively with males. I see the world from a male perspective because that's the point of view I have experienced life through. I have spent years in the gym. I am a musician, and I play out somewhere every week.

I am a counselor who is passionate about people. I have known I wanted to be counselor since about the age of 13. I have been a counselor for over 30 years. I work with couples, individuals. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, loss, with victims of abuse and violence as well as many other issues. I also have a lifetime of my own experiences; married for 30+ years, have three adult children, and three grandchildren and a dog.

My desire is to help you successfully walk through life’s difficulties and clarify your goals. I strive to provide non-judgemental counseling that can be your time and space to work toward YOUR goals. Life takes so many unexpected changes, some bad, some good, but let’s find a way to make your life & relationships become the best they can be. Let me help you get to where you want to be.

Clients should know that I believe everyone has strengths and the ability to create positive change. My approach is supportive, respectful, and focused on what’s working rather than what’s wrong. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we set clear goals, highlight your progress, and build practical solutions that fit your life. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where your voice matters and where we work together to move toward hope, healing, and growth.

Hi! My name is Monica McKee. I’m a passionate LMFT dedicated to helping couples, individuals, and first responder families navigate life’s challenges, heal from past wounds, and strengthen their relationships. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, working through trauma, or seeking greater self-understanding, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.

I’ve been married for 25 years and understand that relationships can bring both joy and struggle. This personal experience, combined with my clinical training, allows me to approach couples work with empathy and practical insight. As the spouse of a first responder, I also have a deep appreciation for the unique stressors first responder families face and am honored to support them in therapy. I speak conversational Spanish and enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds.

I specialize in helping couples and families reconnect and heal through an attachment-based approach, exploring how early relationships influence the ways we love, trust, and communicate. I’m trained in EMDR and I'm a Gottman Method Couples Level 2 practitioner, an evidence-based approach that helps couples improve communication, deepen emotional connection, and rebuild trust.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in Clinical Psychology from Pennsylvania State University in 2010, and my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University in 2023, with a focus on trauma.

It is no longer acceptable to suffer in silence. Regardless of your age, your friends, your family and what your peers may say, asking for help takes a lot more courage than suffering in silence. There is no shame in taking control of your life and making the courageous decision to want and expect more joy and peace in your life. I believe in empowering individuals to take inventory and control of their lives. Things can always be better and it is up to you to determine when, where and what that looks like. It is my joy and responsibility to help bring about the ‘how.'

I am passionate about helping adolescents, individuals, couples and families find their inner strengths to bring about the change they want in their lives through a wide variety of evidence-based theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and others.

The therapeutic process is an amazing journey of personal growth and insight. You are the captain of your ship. The beginning of your new journey can start today.
