Meet Carol, your digital therapist for Texas and Ohio. 

Hi, I’m Carol Mendoza, MA, LPC-S, founder and owner of Butterfly Therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for both Texas and Ohio, and I have 23 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. My background includes serving on active duty in the military, as well as working in psychiatric hospitals, private practice, and outpatient mental health services. I specialize in helping adults, children, and veterans manage concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and care.

​

I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. My approach is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and evidence-based practices, and I adapt each session to meet your unique needs. I strive to create a safe and collaborative space where you can feel supported in your healing journey.

​

I believe therapy should empower you to find strength, clarity, and lasting growth. My goal is to help you achieve your personal goals and improve your well-being. If you are ready to take the next step, I am here to walk alongside you and provide the tools and support you need to move forward.

 

With over ​two decades of therapeutic expertise, I am well-versed 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.
