Depression Therapists Licensed in Texas

This page is for adults and caregivers in Texas looking for therapists who work with depression. Use it to compare clinicians’ approaches, specialties, and experience treating depressive symptoms so you can find a good match. Look at therapy styles, whether they list experience with chronic or postpartum depression, and any notes about working with mood disorders. A Texas license covers the whole state, so a therapist’s city does not limit who they can serve within Texas. Consider clinical focus, preferred methods, and any stated population focus when choosing someone to contact.

About depression therapy in Texas

Everyone listed on this page holds a license to practice in Texas and works online. That matters more than it sounds: a license is issued by the state, not by a city, so a therapist is available to anyone in Texas regardless of how far away they are. Someone outside a major metro can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.

2,271 therapists match this page, all of whom name depression among the areas they work with. Fifteen are shown above. The list changes between pages, so it is worth looking at more than one if none of these feels like a fit.

What to compare

  • Credential. LPC, LCSW and LMFT are different training routes into licensed therapy work. None outranks the others; they shape emphasis rather than quality.
  • Years in practice. Shown for every therapist here. More experience is not automatically better, but it is a fair proxy for how much of a given problem someone has seen.
  • What else they work with. A therapist whose other focus areas overlap with your situation is usually a better starting point than one whose listed areas stop at the single thing you searched for.
  • Approach. CBT, psychodynamic, solution-focused and the rest describe how sessions tend to run. If you have tried therapy before and it did not suit you, changing approach is often more useful than changing therapist.
  • Language. Shown where a therapist offers sessions in more than English.

How online sessions work

Sessions run by video or by messaging, arranged through our partner platform rather than booked directly with the therapist. There is no travel and no waiting room, which for most people is the difference between starting and not starting. Pricing is set by the platform and shown before you commit.

Common questions

How do I choose a therapist who specializes in depression?

Look for clinicians who list depression, mood disorders, or depressive episodes among their specialties. Compare therapy approaches like CBT, behavioral activation, or interpersonal therapy and note any experience with chronic, recurrent, or postpartum depression. Also consider whether the therapist mentions working with your age group, life stage, or co-occurring issues such as anxiety or substance use.

Can online therapy help with severe depression or suicidal thoughts?

Therapists who work with depression often treat a range of severity, but you should contact a clinician directly to discuss your needs. If you are in immediate danger or have active suicidal plans, call local emergency services or a crisis line right away. Use this directory to find clinicians who list experience with higher-risk presentations, then ask about crisis planning when you reach out.

What should I compare when deciding between therapists listed here?

Compare stated treatment methods, experience with specific forms of depression, and notes about working with related conditions like anxiety or trauma. Check whether a therapist mentions specialties such as perinatal depression or adolescent depression. Also consider communication style, telehealth experience, and any population focus that matches your background or needs.
