Francesca Patrick, LPC

Licensed in: Texas
I became a therapist to provide a safe, nurturing space where people can work toward becoming the best version of themselves. I am inspired by the courage it takes to grow, heal, and transform, and I strive to offer a compassionate and supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. Life’s obstacles can make us feel stuck, overwhelmed, or distanced from our authentic selves. Trauma, anxiety, and depression can overshadow daily life, impacting our relationships, confidence, and overall well-being. These difficulties may hinder our ability to concentrate, connect with others, or rediscover joy in activities that once brought meaning and fulfillment.

About Me
I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University in 2018 and completed my PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy at Texas Wesleyan University in 2023. Specializing in trauma, anxiety, and depression, I have a particular focus on supporting athletes, first responders, the military community, and college-aged adults as they navigate the unique pressures and challenges they face. I believe therapy is most effective when it is rooted in active listening, building trust, and exploring new perspectives together. Rather than focusing on a single modality, I emphasize being fully present and tailoring each session to meet my client’s unique needs. My approach combines compassion, insight, and collaboration to help you move forward and achieve the growth you’re seeking. I am honored to be part of your healing journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.
How much will my appointment cost?
Seeking help is hard, paying for it shouldn’t be. Our goal is to make mental health care affordable and accessible to all, by working with insurance companies to cover mental health services in-network.

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
