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 years of behavioral health work. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family stress, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career questions, and bipolar concerns.

She has extensive experience with older adults and geriatric care, and understands the physical and emotional challenges that can come with aging. That experience has included mental health, chemical dependency, domestic violence, and caregiving settings. She often supports people facing grief, loss, chronic illness, or the practical strains of caregiving.

A large part of her work has involved supporting women who want to set goals, learn new coping tools, and address barriers to self-respect and self-regard. She integrates faith-informed Christian principles at times to encourage reflection, renewal, and personal growth when clients prefer that approach.

Her clinical style emphasizes collaborative conversations. Clients talk through problems, identify strengths, and practice new skills. She draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas to guide those conversations.

Because she is both an LPC and an RN, she brings attention to how health and emotions interact. People who need help managing chronic pain, illness, hospice or end-of-life concerns, or the stresses of aging may find that combined perspective helpful. For those unsure about next steps, she focuses on practical coping and goal-setting.
