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.

I’m Crachelle Gates, a Licensed Professional Counselor passionate about walking alongside individuals through their most difficult and transformative seasons. I specialize in working with children ages 6–12, teens, adolescents, and adults who are navigating challenges related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family dynamics, and relationship issues. In our work together, I help clients take ownership of their experiences, regulate emotions, strengthen relationships, and uncover new paths forward. My approach is rooted in compassion and respect, using solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Mindfulness therapy, and person-centered therapy to meet each individual where they are. The first session is all about building a relationship grounded in trust, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you or your child feel truly seen, heard, and supported. What sets my practice apart is that it’s not just therapy—it’s an extension of who I am: empathetic, intentional, and deeply committed to your growth and healing.
