About Nanine

Nanine "Marie" Dickson brings a practical, strengths-focused approach for people seeking help with stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, and related life challenges. She emphasizes helping clients recognize existing skills so they can make clearer choices in work, relationships, and daily life.

Background and approach

Marie frames therapy as a collaborative exploration of each person’s worldview and resources, guiding clients toward actionable steps and improved coping. With a master’s degree in Education and Counseling and 12 years of clinical experience, she blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-informed perspectives with client-centered, solution-focused thinking.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including grief, addiction, self-esteem, career transitions, parenting stresses, compassion fatigue, and mood issues. Marie holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices from Texas, offering sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Her style is grounded, encouraging, and oriented toward helping clients notice options and choose what moves them forward.

Approaches that guide online care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional patterns; this approach can help people explore connection, trust, and patterns in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, supporting stress reduction and improved emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative effort. Marie works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and specific concerns, then adapts techniques from these models so the plan fits each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging produces flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. Online formats make it easier to maintain continuity across life changes and to try different communication styles while still working with a licensed professional who draws on CBT, attachment perspectives, and mindfulness to support practical change.
