What Does a Psychologist Do in Therapy?
The core work is the same as with any good therapist: understanding what’s going on and changing what isn’t working. What’s different is the training. Psychologists hold a doctorate (a PhD or PsyD), and the American Psychological Association notes they spend an average of seven years in education and training after college, including supervised clinical work, research and psychological testing.
Here’s where that training tends to show up.
Testing and diagnosis
Psychologists are trained to give and score psychological tests. If you’re wondering about ADHD or autism, that matters.
Structured therapy with a plan
Our psychologists lean on CBT, ACT and DBT. You set the goals together, and sessions work toward them.
Concerns that overlap
Anxiety with ADHD. Depression after a trauma. When several things are tangled up, it helps to sort out what’s driving what.
Medication, if you need it
Psychologists in Texas don’t prescribe. If medication might help, your psychologist can coordinate with your doctor or psychiatrist.
Who Are the Psychologists at Just Mind?
Five psychologists, each with a different focus. Here’s who each one sees and how they work.
Kids, teens and adults. Twenty years of work with autism, ADHD and learning differences, and the director of our neurodiversity services. Scott asks each client early on how they prefer to be identified, and lets them lead on setting goals. North Austin and online.
Adults, couples and families. A licensed clinical psychologist for more than 15 years, with advanced training in CBT for anxiety and for depression. He also uses motivational interviewing. Ron works fully online, anywhere in Texas.
Adults. More than 15 years with trauma, depression and anxiety, plus immigration, acculturation and identity. She brings Somatic Experiencing into talk therapy. Postdoctoral fellowship at UCLA. South Austin/Westlake and online.
Teens 13 and up, and adults. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, life transitions and career decisions, using ACT, CBT and DBT. North Austin and online.
Adults. Stress, burnout, anxiety, identity and ADHD, from a multicultural, culturally responsive lens. She earned her PhD in counseling psychology at UT Austin. South Austin/Westlake and online.
“We have the ability to exert control over our mental health, rather than letting it control us.”
Ron Grace, PsyD, psychologist at Just Mind
What Is Therapy With a Psychologist Like?
Structured and collaborative. You and your psychologist agree on what you want to change, then work on it session by session, often with some practice in between.
Jennifer Shub, PsyD, says the goal “is to help clients develop practical skills they can use outside of therapy, not just feel better during sessions.” She also bends the method to the person, not the other way around: “I think it’s important to adapt CBT to the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit the model.”
Ron Grace sees the same thing from the client’s side. “Actively participating in the evolution of our thought patterns brings a lot of empowerment and confidence,” he says.
Your first few sessions usually cover what brought you in, the history behind it and what you’d like to be different. Want to know more about the methods? Read about CBT, ACT and DBT at Just Mind.
Do You Need a Psychologist, or the Right Therapist?
Fit matters more than the letters after a name.
Most people who reach out don’t need a doctorate-level clinician specifically; they need someone who gets them. A psychologist makes the most sense when you want testing, when several concerns overlap, or when you’d simply prefer one. Tell our client care team what’s going on, and a real person will suggest a psychologist or another therapist who fits.
Can a Psychologist Test for ADHD or Autism?
Yes. Scott Allen, PsyD, leads our ADHD and autism evaluations for kids, teens and adults. Testing is in person at our North Austin office, and most people can start within a week or two.
See how it works on our psychological assessments page, or go straight to ADHD testing or autism testing. Testing can be financed through CareCredit.
How Much Does It Cost to See a Psychologist in Austin?
Our psychologists charge $185 to $215 per 50-minute session. Each profile lists the exact rate.
Some of our clinicians are in network with Aetna, EHN/WebTPA, Harbor Health, Nomi Health and Sana, so ask our client care team which psychologists take your plan. Our providers have opted out of Medicare. See rates and insurance for the full picture, including out-of-network options.

What clients say
Psychologist FAQs
What’s the difference between a psychologist and a therapist?
“Therapist” is a broad word. Psychologists hold a doctorate (PhD or PsyD) and are trained in testing and research as well as therapy. Licensed professional counselors (LPCs), clinical social workers (LCSWs) and marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) hold master’s degrees and are licensed to provide therapy too. Any of them can help; the right fit matters more than the title.
What’s the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication, and many focus mainly on managing it. A psychologist provides therapy and psychological testing and, in Texas, doesn’t prescribe. Plenty of people see both.
Can a psychologist prescribe medication in Texas?
No. Texas doesn’t give psychologists prescribing authority. If medication might help, your psychologist can coordinate with your doctor or a psychiatrist.
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?
Not to start with us. If you plan to use insurance, check whether your plan has its own referral rules.
Can I see a psychologist online?
Yes. All five of our psychologists see clients by video anywhere in Texas, using Google Meet. Ron Grace works only online.
Do your psychologists see kids and teens?
Scott Allen works with kids, teens and adults. Jennifer Shub sees teens 13 and up. Ron Grace, Sapana Donde and Myya Singletary see adults, and Ron also sees couples and families.
Do your psychologists do ADHD or autism testing?
Yes. Scott Allen leads our ADHD and autism evaluations, in person at our North Austin office. Our psychological assessments page explains the process.
How much does it cost to see a psychologist?
$185 to $215 per session, depending on the psychologist. Some of our clinicians take Aetna, EHN/WebTPA, Harbor Health, Nomi Health and Sana.
How fast can I get an appointment?
Our client care team usually suggests a match within 24 hours. You can also start with a free 30-minute consult. Openings vary by psychologist.
What if it doesn’t feel like a good fit?
Tell us. We check in after your first session to see how it’s going.
