About Carol
Carol Dickey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, sleeping problems, anger, career matters, and bipolar mood concerns. She also focuses on caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, divorce and separation, and end-of-life issues.
Carol combines practical talk with straightforward tools. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Sessions often include goal setting, skill practice, and attention to values and motivation. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, client-centered work, and psychodynamic ideas to guide the process.
Her background includes work in mental health, chemical dependency, domestic violence, and caregiving settings. She has experience supporting older adults and people facing medical or physical challenges. That experience shapes how she frames coping strategies and life adjustments.
Carol often integrates Christian principles when that fits a client's preferences. She helps people identify barriers to self-respect and build practical routines that support emotional and physical health. The work aims to reduce reactivity, clarify priorities, and improve day-to-day functioning.
She encourages clients to use their own strengths while trying new approaches. Typical sessions blend talk, skill-building, and simple experiments to test what helps reduce anger, worry, or low mood. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful when anger or avoidance gets in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and respect, giving space for the client to set the pace and focus.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Carol will work collaboratively to choose approaches that fit the client's goals and preferences. That includes trying different techniques and adjusting based on what helps reduce reactivity and improve coping.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life, allows shorter check-ins during a break, and removes travel time. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, practice new responses to anger, and check progress in everyday contexts.
