By Mark Daniel Holsey, DO — board-certified adult psychiatrist
To find adult mental health care in Frisco, TX, start by deciding what kind of help you need: talk therapy, medication management, or both. If medication may be part of the picture, look for a board-certified adult psychiatrist — a physician who can diagnose and treat conditions like depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and adult ADHD, and manage treatment over time. Then choose how you want to be seen: Frisco has in-person options, and telehealth puts a Texas psychiatrist within reach from home. Cobalt Psychiatry offers both — an office in Frisco and online visits across Texas.
This guide covers how to figure out what you need, what to check before you book, and what treatment looks like once you start.
Start With What You Need
Mental health care comes in two broad forms: talk therapy and medical treatment. Therapists and counselors help you work through patterns, stress, and relationships in regular sessions. Psychiatrists are physicians who diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication when it’s appropriate, and track how treatment is working. Many adults do well with both at once — a therapist for skills and support, a psychiatrist for medication. If you’re unsure where to begin, our guide to the difference between psychologists and psychiatrists can help you sort it out.
A psychiatrist is usually the right starting point when symptoms are getting in the way of work, sleep, or relationships; when therapy alone hasn’t been enough; or when you may have a condition that often responds well to medication — depression, an anxiety disorder, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or chronic insomnia among them.
Your Options for a Psychiatrist in Frisco, TX
In-person care in Frisco
Cobalt Psychiatry sees adult patients at our Frisco, TX office, serving Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and the wider North Dallas area. In-person visits are a good fit if you prefer face-to-face conversation or simply focus better in the same room as your doctor.
Online psychiatry anywhere in Texas
If a drive across town doesn’t fit your week, telepsychiatry brings the same appointment to your phone or laptop. Evaluations and follow-ups happen over secure video, with the same doctor and the same standards — only the room changes.
Many patients combine the two: an in-person first visit, then video check-ins for follow-ups. If you already know you’re ready, you can book an appointment online in a few minutes.
What to Check Before You Book
Board certification
Look for a physician who is board-certified in psychiatry. Certification means completing a full psychiatry residency and passing a national exam. At Cobalt, every patient is seen personally by Dr. Holsey, a board-certified adult psychiatrist.
A true adult focus
Some clinics see every age and every problem. A practice built around adults — Cobalt treats patients 18 and older — keeps its focus on the conditions, medications, and life situations adults actually face.
Clear answers on insurance and cost
Ask how billing works before your first visit, not after. You can review how coverage works at Cobalt on our insurance page, so there are no surprises.
Responsiveness
Notice how easy a practice is to reach. Scheduling should be simple, and questions shouldn’t disappear into a void. If you’d like to ask something before booking with us, contact our team and a real person will follow up.
What Treatment at Cobalt Psychiatry Looks Like
Our core service is psychiatric medication management. It starts with a thorough first evaluation: your history, your symptoms, what you’ve tried before, and what you want to change. Dr. Holsey explains what he’s seeing in plain language and, when medication makes sense, builds a plan with you rather than handing you a prescription and moving on. Follow-up visits track progress, watch for side effects, and adjust until treatment fits.
Cobalt Psychiatry is a telehealth-first practice based in Norman, Oklahoma — serving the Oklahoma City metro — with our second office here in Frisco. Texas patients get the same care model Oklahoma patients rely on: expert medication management for adults, explained clearly and handled carefully.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a psychiatrist in Frisco, TX accepting new patients?
Yes. Cobalt Psychiatry accepts new adult patients at our Frisco office and by telehealth across Texas, and scheduling happens entirely online.
Can I see a psychiatrist online instead of going into an office?
Yes. Telehealth appointments are available to adults anywhere in Texas or Oklahoma. Evaluations and follow-ups both work well by secure video, and many patients handle most of their care this way.
What conditions does Cobalt Psychiatry treat?
We treat adults (18 and older) for depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and adult ADHD. ADHD care always begins with a careful, comprehensive evaluation — never a rushed diagnosis. Trouble focusing, forgetfulness, or restlessness is often driven by depression, anxiety, poor sleep, or something else entirely, so the first step is to schedule an appointment and sort out what’s going on.
Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist in Frisco?
No referral is needed to book with Cobalt Psychiatry. If a therapist or primary care doctor suggested psychiatry, we’re glad to coordinate with them once your care begins.
