About Rick
Rick Fulton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD. He sees clients online from his private practice and offers Christian counseling on request.
He trained at the University of North Texas and brings a cognitive behavioral orientation to sessions. He also uses gestalt approaches and motivational interviewing techniques. That mix shapes how he helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and build practical skills they can use outside sessions.
Rick has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has experience with dual diagnosis, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and grief. He has supported people dealing with family of origin problems, codependency, and forgiveness concerns. He also has experience with first responder issues and with clients affected by natural or human-caused disaster.
Sessions are structured around problem-focused work and clear goals. He emphasizes the stages of change model when addressing addictions and behavior change. Clients can expect direct conversation, skill practice, and follow-up suggestions to try between sessions.
He runs his practice from Meridian, Texas and conducts services in English. Messages sent after evening hours are answered the next morning, and there is a no-show policy that asks for 24 hours notice for missed live chat or video appointments.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Rick frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It suits problems like anxiety, anger, depression, and many everyday coping challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen motivation for change and is often used when addressing addictions or ambivalence about making changes.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process lets clients be clear about what they want and try actionable steps between sessions.
The biography states he practices exclusively online, so confirm current session options before booking. Ask about live chat and video formats when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work or family time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Those practical benefits help clients use therapy more consistently while working on anger, addictions, or life changes.
