Rick Fulton, LPC

Rick Fulton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience supporting adults, couples, and families through a wide range of mental health and addiction concerns. He earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas in Denton and brings a cognitive behavioral orientation to his work, drawing on additional methods such as gestalt techniques when helpful. His background includes both inpatient and outpatient settings, with experience related to grief, HIV and AIDS, dual diagnosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Based in Meridian, Texas, Rick practices exclusively online and offers sessions in English. He is trained in stages of change and uses Motivational Interviewing strategies to help clients strengthen readiness, clarify values, and take practical steps toward their goals. For clients who request it, he also provides Christian counseling, while remaining inclusive and respectful of any spiritual beliefs or none at all.

Rick’s aim is to build a supportive working relationship grounded in acceptance and encouragement, with the intention that clients leave each session with something they can apply in everyday life. He asks for 24 hours notice if an appointment needs to be missed for a live chat or video session. Messages sent after 8pm are answered the next morning as soon as he is able, and he typically responds within 24 hours.
