About Me

My primary focus is using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients process their thoughts, feelings and emotions. Though this is my primary counseling style, I use an eclectic range of therapy. Including but not limited to Solution Focus Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Reality Therapy. I have experience in working with adolescents, adults and the elderly. It is my passion and purpose to help equip people to become the best version of themselves. I apply my educational knowledge as a Clinical Mental Health Therapist by teaching practical applications. I am grateful to say I have been able to help people get through their most difficult times and life circumstances. I believe my desire to help people has given me a great level of success. I have many years of experience in marriage counseling, family counseling as well as christian counseling. My qualifications include a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Houston-Victoria, obtaining my National Certified Counselor certification and a Doctrine Degree in Theology. Through my experience I have been able to assist a diverse group of people in dealing with life circumstances. This has now equipped me with Evidence-Based Therapeutic Counseling tools to further advance my skills as a Counselor. I know that I am capable of helping people live their best lives and welcome the opportunity to prove it!

Dianne has been such a great voice of reason and beacon of truth. There’s no sugar coating when it comes to her. She lovingly tells it like it is and also encourages you to walk in your purpose. She supports you on the journey to healing and recovery. We’ve been talking for a little over a month now and I’ve been challenged, encouraged, given wisdom and comforted every step of the way. Her knowledge and wisdom is vast and she truly cares about her clients. Dianne has been a life saver! I wish everyone could see her!

Mrs. Dianne is a gem ! She listens and gives her perspective respectfully and professionally . She’s able to provide reference and context to her advice and shares great mental health activities that have helped her ! She always arrives to the session on time , we end on time , and I have learned how to learn my thoughts through her education of cognitive behavior therapy ! I look forward to all of our sessions and I appreciate that her formula for me is not only tailored to who I am today , but who I am becoming . Do the work , see the results ! I would recommend Mrs. Dianne’s therapy to anyone who is committed to personal growth in mind , body , soul, and spirit !

Dianne Dabney is such a kind and genuine therapist. I can tell that where she is coming from is always from a pure place. The only thing that I will say is you have to catch her while she's hot because her spots fill up quickly LOL. She is such a great listener and has so much wisdom to offer if you listen closely. I genuinely recommend her as a therapist not only because she is phenomenal but because she's authentic.

Dianne helped me realize that things will get better with time, gave me tips to help relieve what I was feeling inside and to let it all out. I really enjoy my sessions with Dianne. I really appreciate being able to have a non-judgmental session that actually helps you to realize the value of life, to enjoy the time you have on this earth, and make it meaningful. At first I was skeptical thinking she is not an African American so she will not understand my struggles....but oh was I wrong, she definitely understood. Again I really appreciate her for helping me during my difficult times.
