About Teal
Teal Dick is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, grief, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. He also focuses on issues like adoption and foster care, fatherhood, midlife transitions, and feelings of guilt and shame.
He uses a conversational, person-focused stance in sessions. He listens first, then shapes a plan with practical steps and questions that help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. His background includes long-term work with substance concerns and family-of-origin problems, so he often brings both short-term tools and deeper exploration to conversations.
Sessions may include looking at thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood, and experimenting with small changes. He sometimes draws on narrative approaches to help people reframe painful stories about themselves. He also uses Jungian and existential ideas when people want to grapple with meaning, identity, or big life questions.
He aims to be respectful and sensitive during hard conversations. He adapts language and pacing to each person’s needs while keeping discussions straightforward and concrete. He invites people to notice progress in everyday life rather than waiting for a single moment of change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel understood and can choose their next steps. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful listener while sorting through painful feelings like guilt or shame.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.
Existential ideas invite people to talk about meaning, responsibility, and the values that shape choices. This can help when life changes or moral regret leave someone questioning who they are.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the person’s goals, concerns, and preferences. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.
Confirm current session formats and scheduling before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, require less travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt their pacing and tools to suit the practical constraints of a person’s day while keeping the focus on concrete steps that matter.
