Carol Dickey, LPC

Carol Dickey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of professional experience. She also has a background as a registered nurse and long experience in behavioral health. She lists work with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career issues, and bipolar conditions among her areas of practice.

She has spent much of her career supporting older adults and people facing chronic illness or caregiving responsibilities. That background informs how she talks about health, loss, and practical day-to-day challenges. She also draws on years working in mental health, chemical dependency, domestic violence, and caregiving settings.

Many clients come wanting help with guilt and shame, forgiveness, or isolation and loneliness. She uses concrete tools to address those feelings and the behaviors that follow them. Sessions often include goal-setting, new coping skills, and ways to reframe painful self-judgments.

Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. She integrates these methods with attention to faith when clients request it, using Christian principles for growth and self-awareness as part of the work.

She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps they can take. That means learning small, usable strategies for stress, grief, and relationship strain, and identifying barriers to self-respect and motivation.
