Nanine "Marie" Dickson, LPC, LMHC

Nanine "Marie" Dickson is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She uses clear, practical steps so clients can see small changes fast. Her approach aims to help people make choices that improve daily life and relationships.

Marie draws on a background in both education and counseling to guide conversations. She spent many years in education before moving into clinical work, and she brings that teaching perspective to sessions. Her style is conversational and focused on what the person already knows and can do.

Marie often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Attachment-based ideas help when patterns in close relationships are part of the problem.

Sessions look at strengths people already have and what gets in the way of using them. She helps clients talk through options and practice steps between meetings. This often covers stress, trauma, anger, depression, addiction, parenting strains, grief, and work-related struggles.

Marie holds a master’s degree in Education and Counseling and has worked clinically for 12 years. Her listed credentials are LPC and LMHC. She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication. In sessions this means noticing repeated interaction patterns and trying new ways of relating to reduce reactivity and build calmer responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It often involves short at-home exercises and practical experiments to change mood and behavior over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they try approaches, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are full. It can also let people use exercises between sessions in the moment where challenges happen. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment and CBT tools for remote sessions so clients practice new skills in their everyday routines.
