Hi, I’m Carol Mendoza, MA, LPC-S. I am a licensed therapist based in Texas, bringing more than 20 years of dedicated professional counseling experience to my practice. My journey into counseling began during my time in the military, where I spent my over a decade on active duty serving as a counselor.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in various settings, including three psychiatric hospitals, a private practice specializing in psychiatric testing for social security benefits, and in outpatient mental health services (catering to both children and adults). I've also had the honor of working closely with veterans who have bravely served our country overseas and here at home.
My therapeutic expertise encompasses anxiety, depression, anger management, mood disorders, motivation, self-esteem, and trauma, and my counseling philosophy is very much aligned with Solution-Focused Therapy. I firmly believe in approaching each individual with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Together, we'll tailor our sessions to align with your unique goals and needs.
Taking the step towards therapy requires courage — it's the first step towards transforming your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I’m so proud you’ve taken the first step, and you should be, too! I'm here to walk alongside you, offering support, encouragement, and empowerment throughout your journey.
Outside of my professional life, I cherish spending time with my husband, our two dogs, and our large extended family. I find joy in activities like reading, biking, camping, fishing, and embracing the beauty of the outdoors —especially butterflies.
Currently, I only offer evening hours and some availability on Saturdays.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Carol is kind and attentive. She has helped me immensely .
Carol is great and a good supporter and listener. She gives good advice. Thank you.
She is very relatable, understanding, and positive. I feel comfortable talking to her and appreciate her advice. She has been supportive and kind.
I look forward to my weekly session, she makes me a priority and responds in an appropriate time when I send messages via the app. Since starting therapy, I have made great progress and I owe a huge part of it to Carol. Thank you
She is such a great person. It is my pleasure to have her. Thank you Mrs. Carol.
Miss Carol has been amazing with me so far. We are early on into my sessions and she makes me feel all my feelings are valid. She listens even when I drone off on other things and brings me back to my focus, and is so nice about it. I feel listened to, and heard. I was skeptical about online therapy in the beginning, I have had one in one therapy in the past and have had some difficulty with it. She is not just there with me on my appointment days, she checks in, and if I message her, she messages back. It’s really nice. Better than I imagined.
