About Rick
Rick Fulton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 30 years of experience. He practices online and focuses on problems like anger, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. He brings a straightforward, practical style to sessions and aims to help people leave each meeting with something they can use the same day.
Rick trained at the University of North Texas where he earned a master’s degree in counseling.
Background and approach
He has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has long experience addressing mental health and addiction concerns. That background informs a mix of structured and conversational approaches in his work. In sessions he often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits.
He also draws on mindfulness to slow down reactions and on motivational interviewing to support change when it feels hard. Narrative techniques are used to help people reframe difficult life stories into steps they can act on. He has supported people dealing with grief, bipolar disorder, trauma, dual diagnosis, and first responder issues among other concerns.
He offers Christian counseling on request and treats people respectfully regardless of spiritual background. All work is provided online through a range of session formats. Rick asks for clear communication about scheduling and has a no-show guideline for live chat and video sessions.
Messages sent outside his hours are typically answered within 24 hours on weekdays.

Approaches Rick lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Online approaches that help manage anger and addiction
Rick commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or addictive patterns. CBT breaks problems into clear steps and gives practical skills to use between sessions.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. This approach focuses on the person’s own reasons for change and helps resolve mixed feelings without pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people pick what actually helps them move forward.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins and steps between longer sessions. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other routines.
