Therapy Session in Texas

Dianne Dabney, NCC, M.A., Th.D., LPC I am passionate about helping people become the best version of themselves. With a strong foundation in practical therapeutic approaches and a deep commitment to compassionate care, I bring experience and insight to every session. I specialize in working with children, young adults, older adults, and couples navigating relationship challenges. My background includes a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health, National Certified Counselor (NCC) certification, and a Doctorate in Theology. My approach to therapy is rooted in creating a safe, calming environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their story. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to provide effective tools that empower individuals to manage life’s challenges. Clients can expect to feel heard, supported, and equipped with actionable insights. My goal is for every person I work with to leave feeling hopeful, encouraged, and confident in their journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

As a clinician who has been working with families and individuals for over 15 years, I believe that transformation happens on two levels: the conscious and the subconscious. As a result, I approach sessions with a unique approach. Rather than simply educating clients on alternative techniques and habits to consciously adjust, I also assist them in getting to the root of their struggles. These struggles are often buried deep in the subconscious. I enjoy empowering my clients with tools and insights on both levels to bring lasting change. Whether it be through education, practical tools, or healthy challenges, my goal is to help you experience peace of mind!

I am a warm and empathetic mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults facing a wide range of challenges, including bullying, low self-esteem, trauma, grief and bereavement, self-injury, suicidal ideation, chemical dependency, and school-related concerns. I also have extensive experience in crisis intervention, restorative services, anger management, and anxiety. My therapeutic approach is authentic, empowering, and solution-oriented. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their emotions, confront difficult experiences, and work toward lasting personal growth. I bring not only professional expertise but also a friendly and open-minded attitude, using humor and encouragement to build strong, trusting relationships with my clients. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and help you move forward with confidence and resilience.
