Meet Carol, your digital therapist in Dallas, Texas. 

Hi, I’m Carol Mendoza, MA, LPC-S, founder and owner of Butterfly Therapy. 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 over a decade on active duty and served 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.

​

I have two decades of therapeutic expertise in treating a wide variety of mental health conditions and life circumstances, including but not limited to:
 

• Anxiety.

• Depression.

• Anger management.

• Mood disorders.

• Veteran's and military issues.

• Motivation.

• Self-esteem.

• PTSD & trauma.

• Family issues.

• Children with ADHD.

• Menopause, post-partum, and women's issues.

• Grief.

• Divorce.

• Professional career and workplace issues, including burnout. 

• Life transitions.

• And more.

​

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. Most importantly, we'll work together to help you achieve your goals and move forward on your path to recovery.

Taking the step towards therapy requires courage — it's the first step in transforming your thoughts, emotions, behaviors — and your life. I'm proud of you for making this decision, 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 family and my dogs. I find joy in activities like reading, biking, camping, fishing, and embracing the beauty of the outdoors — especially butterflies.

​
