Dianne Dabney , LPC

Dianne Dabney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who centers her work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people understand and shift the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that interfere with daily life. She pairs that primary approach with an eclectic mix of methods - including Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, client-centered techniques, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused work - to tailor care to each person's needs and goals.

She works with adolescents, adults, and older adults and has experience supporting people through a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and intimacy. Dabney has provided marriage and family counseling as well as Christian counseling, and she emphasizes practical strategies clients can apply between sessions.

Her clinical background includes a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Houston-Victoria, a National Certified Counselor certification, and a Doctrine Degree in Theology, and she holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Texas (LPC). With five years of professional experience, she uses evidence-based tools and a teaching-oriented style to equip people to move through difficult life circumstances toward clearer goals and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dianne Dabney draws primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering an empathetic, nonjudgmental space that supports clients in finding their own solutions and building self-understanding. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are incorporated when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dabney works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time so that therapy remains relevant and effective for their situation.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from home or other convenient locations. These flexible options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible support and to tailor the format and pace of care to what works best for each client.
