About Teal
Teal Dick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 27 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and major life transitions. Teal aims to make the first steps toward therapy feel straightforward and respectful.
He uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where people feel heard and understood.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when practical changes in thinking and behavior can ease daily struggles. In sessions he listens for how past family experiences and current pressures shape present problems. He works with issues such as grief, parenting strain, family conflict, and problems tied to adoption or blended households.
He also supports people dealing with substance use, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose. Teal keeps conversations focused and tailored to each person. He collaborates on a simple plan and checks in on what is or isn’t working.
This approach is meant to be flexible enough for short-term goals or longer exploration. His experience includes many years helping adults navigate midlife transitions, fatherhood challenges, and aging concerns. Teal speaks English and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with his work style and scheduling.

Online session options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Teal often uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, life purpose questions, and family of origin problems. He pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what each person needs in the moment.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when practical changes in thinking and behavior can reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. CBT offers hands-on strategies for coping, while narrative work looks at broader meaning and identity. Together these approaches give both immediate tools and a chance to rethink long-standing patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teal collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for longer therapy conversations, phone can require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat are useful for quick check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
