Hello! My name is Kailee Lockette and I’d like to take a minute to briefly introduce myself. I received my masters degree in education for Professional School Counseling from Liberty University and continued my education at Dallas Baptist University in order to become a licensed professional counselor. The population I work with is children, teens, women and families. I completed my internship at North Texas Christian Counseling in 2020 under the supervision of Lisa Stephenson LPC-S. I have experience working with women of all ages suffering with anxiety and depression as a result of many different relational, emotional, spiritual, physical and cognitive problems. I also have experience collaborating with many types of families to meet the needs of children and teens with similar struggles. I love utilizing many mediums (play, art, music, books, writing) to connect with and draw out the thoughts, emotions and behaviors of those who are less able to process verbally.
Prior to working in private practice, I worked for 8 years in education as an elementary teacher and school counselor. The experience I gained during that time consisted of working alongside students with many types of special education needs, attention and focus deficits, autism and social problems, anxiety/stress, trauma, and other behavioral concerns that affect holistic wellbeing. I love working with families to help each child and teenager experience awareness and freedom in all areas of life. The decision to transition from school counseling to professional counseling came when I realized that I could only help children and families to a certain extent without being able to address their need for a savior and the redeeming love only he can provide.

My husband and I live in Carrollton Texas and are members of the Ridge Church where he serves as an elder. I serve as a teacher in the children’s ministry and on the women’s leadership team as well. We have been married since 2016 and have 2 sons and 1 daughter.
As a believer and biblical counselor, I view humans through a biblical lens, knowing I cannot "fix" or rid them of their pain and problems. I am passionate and excited about helping people identify and address the needs and desires of the heart in order to begin producing healthy fruit that is rooted in Christ amidst the heat and problems of our broken world. - Jeremiah 17:7-9
