Rick Fulton, LPC

Rick Fulton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who draws on a cognitive behavioral approach. He combines practical thinking strategies with everyday habits that people can use between sessions. He aims to form a supportive connection grounded in acceptance and respect.

Rick earned a master's degree in counseling from the University of North Texas in Denton. He has three decades of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background includes work with grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

In sessions he uses clear, goal-focused methods that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. He also includes techniques from gestalt and narrative ideas when those methods fit the concern. Motivational Interviewing is part of how he helps people move through change at their own pace.

Rick offers Christian counseling when requested and maintains an inclusive practice for all spiritual beliefs. He teaches practical skills meant for everyday life, so clients leave sessions with things they can try between meetings.

He describes his role as providing compassion, love, and support while building an alliance with each client. His scheduling includes weekday and limited Saturday hours, and he asks people to give 24 hours notice for missed live appointments where possible.

How his approaches translate to online work

Rick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small practical changes in daily routines. CBT is aimed at changing patterns that keep stress and anxiety active and can help with mood, habits, and coping skills.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change. This approach focuses on a collaborative conversation that helps someone find their own reasons to move forward and make steady progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Rick will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Rick's practice is described as online, so confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow for focused conversations without travel time. These practical advantages can help people use therapy more consistently while they test new habits and coping strategies.
