Dianne Dabney , LPC

Dianne Dabney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting strain, addiction, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and ADHD. Dianne practices in Texas and works with adults across a range of concerns related to family dynamics and caregiving strain.

Dianne favors straightforward, practical work in sessions. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She combines this with client-centered listening to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful.

Her background includes five years of clinical experience and practice in settings that involved marriage and family matters, as well as faith-informed counseling earlier in her career. Dianne draws on that variety to match tools to each person's needs rather than sticking to a single method.

In a typical session she teaches concrete skills - for example, coping tools for anxiety, communication steps for relationship strain, and emotion regulation strategies for anger or mood swings. She aims to leave people with usable steps they can try between sessions.

Dianne accepts sessions in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time; sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Dianne’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Dianne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and validation so people feel heard while they explore goals and try new coping strategies.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills teach concrete ways to manage intense feelings and improve relationships, which can be helpful for mood swings, intense anger, or impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to use. Sessions are collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
