Carol Mendoza, LPC

Carol Mendoza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. Her path into counseling began in the military, where she spent more than a decade on active duty serving as a counselor, and that foundation shaped a career across multiple care settings.

She has provided services in three psychiatric hospitals, worked in a private practice focusing on psychiatric testing for social security benefits, and offered outpatient mental health care for both children and adults. Her background also includes work with veterans, reflecting longstanding experience supporting people who have served.

Her clinical focus spans a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem difficulties, ADHD, relationship and career challenges, and issues affecting LGBT clients. She also addresses specialized concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, domestic violence, mood and panic disorders, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm and sex addiction, and compassion fatigue.

Carol uses evidence-informed approaches, drawing particularly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people develop practical skills and reach concrete goals. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring sessions to each person’s priorities and strengths.

Outside of clinical work, she values time with her husband, their two dogs, and a large extended family, and enjoys reading, biking, camping, fishing, and time outdoors, with a fondness for butterflies. She communicates in English. She is not accepting new clients, and her practice history includes offering evening hours and some Saturday availability.
