About Teal
Teal Dick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 27 years of experience. He focuses on practical, person-centered work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can speak honestly and be heard.
He uses a client-centered stance to guide conversations and build a plan that fits each person's situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding.

Teal has long experience addressing addictions, family conflicts, relationship strain, grief, and trauma. He also lists adoption and foster care among his additional focus areas and can include those concerns in sessions when relevant. He emphasizes tailoring dialogue and goals to what each person needs right now.
Sessions typically focus on concrete steps you can try between meetings, and on clarifying values and priorities. He encourages people to take gradual steps toward change and to notice what helps in daily life. Teal affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy and works alongside people as they move forward.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to you. The therapist follows your lead, helps you name goals, and adjusts conversations to match your needs and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In short practical steps, it helps people try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.
Existential ideas can help when people are facing big life questions or feeling empty. This approach encourages exploring meaning, choices, and personal values to find direction during transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods best match your goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm available session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting you join from a quieter location. It can also let the therapist and client practice skills between meetings and keep momentum on goals without requiring in-person visits.
