About Carol Dickey

Carol Dickey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a registered nurse (RN) with more than 25 years of professional experience. She combines nursing insight and behavioral health training to support older adults and their families, drawing on a background that includes work in mental health, chemical dependency, domestic violence, and caregiving settings. Her clinical focus has evolved to include stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, self-esteem, motivation, and the physical and emotional challenges that often accompany aging.

Working frequently with the geriatric population, she attends to stressors that are unique to later stages of life while helping people pursue peace, empowerment, and purpose. She also advocates for women’s mental health and growth, using goal-setting and practical tools to address barriers to self-love and respect. In some cases her practice incorporates Christian principles for growth, renewal, and self-awareness when clients wish to include those values in their work.

Carol approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be harnessed to overcome life’s challenges. She supports people through transitions and difficult emotions, helping them move toward a more fulfilling life with courage and practical strategies. As both an LPC and an RN, she blends clinical counseling skills with a grounded understanding of medical and caregiving concerns.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take valued actions that support a meaningful life. It is helpful for stress, anxiety, grief, chronic health struggles, and adjusting to life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental relationship, giving people space to explore their feelings and goals while building self-esteem and a clearer sense of purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, offering practical skills that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, obsessive thinking, and sleep disruption.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carol works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options provide flexibility in how people communicate about concerns, maintain continuity of care through life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
