About Austin

Austin MacKey is an LPC based in Texas who centers his work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He emphasizes a collaborative process that pays attention to each person’s history and current circumstances, helping clients translate insight into practical strategies for emotional regulation and resilience. MacKey draws on a blend of methods to support improvements in communication, self-compassion, and day-to-day coping skills.

His practice pays particular attention to themes that often underlie presenting concerns, such as family of origin dynamics, life purpose, and social connection. He helps clients address issues like social anxiety, feelings of isolation, perfectionism, and relationship communication by breaking problems into manageable steps and developing tools tailored to each client’s needs.

With three years of clinical experience, MacKey aims to foster a therapeutic environment where people can deepen self-awareness, practice healthier habits, and work toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Flexibility

MacKey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping clients develop concrete skills and better emotional awareness. One approach emphasizes cognitive strategies that identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this helps people who struggle with worry, perfectionism, or low self-esteem. Another approach focuses on behavioral and skills-based work that builds routines for stress management, strengthens communication, and addresses social anxiety through gradual practice and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to clarify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods over time so treatment fits the person’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances rather than forcing a single model on everyone.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats allow clients to work on coping strategies, communication skills, and emotional regulation from locations that suit them while maintaining continuity of care across changing routines and commitments.
