About Dakota

Dakota Seale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with a decade of clinical experience.

Background and approach

Over the past ten years he has worked with individuals, couples, and families to address a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship struggles, addictions, and stress-related issues. Dakota emphasizes clients' strengths and resilience while guiding them toward practical, sustainable change.

His approach blends evidence-based methods such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Dakota seeks to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and can develop tools for coping with life transitions, self-esteem challenges, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related difficulties. He provides services in English and Spanish and offers a variety of remote session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Beginning therapy with Dakota involves collaborative goal-setting and a focus on the client’s own expertise about their life. He frames his role as a guide who helps clients navigate change while they remain in control of their direction and decisions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care



Dakota integrates Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Internal Family Systems helps people explore internal parts and how those parts interact, which can be useful for trauma, self-criticism, and identity-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action, which supports coping with anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Dakota treats that as a collaborative process. He will work with each client to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and experiences, adjusting the tools and pacing as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

The online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for busy schedules or geographic constraints. These options let clients maintain continuity of care, access sessions from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them while working toward meaningful change with a licensed professional.
