About Carol
Carol Dickey is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with more than 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addiction, relationship and family issues, trauma, sleep problems, anger, career worries, and bipolar symptoms.
Carol speaks English and draws on long-term work helping adults manage complex life transitions and health-related stress. Carol blends talk therapy with practical tools.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps clients set small, doable goals. She often teaches mindfulness and cognitive skills to change unhelpful thoughts and build more helpful habits. Sessions can include exploring life meaning and values to guide choices.
Many years of work in mental health, chemical dependency, domestic violence, and caregiving have shaped her approach. She has also worked with older adults and understands stressors that can come with aging and chronic illness. That experience informs how she discusses physical and emotional health together.
Carol frequently supports women in identifying barriers to self-love and personal growth. She uses goal setting, skills practice, and values-based reflection to help people move toward greater empowerment. Her practice sometimes incorporates Christian principles when clients request that framework.
She holds a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor credential, TX LPC 15423. Carol encourages people to name the changes they want, try small steps, and build on strengths to improve day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carol will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies over time. That collaborative process helps find what feels most helpful for day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility and health concerns. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can pick what works best for them. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while working on stress, grief, coping, and other goals.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
