About me
I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama for the past 15 years. I am originally from Western New York- but have been in Alabama for over 30 years. The military brought me here, and I was a military spouse for over 15 years. I am a graduate of Troy University, Alabama. I worked as a therapist in a community mental health center for 17 years and then moved to private practice in 2019. In these positions, I have been able to work with people from all walks of life, with many varied issues- from depression to bipolar and anxiety, to relationship issues (including deployments and re-unifications), parenting, grief, loss, and aging issues. I have worked with many other agencies to bring quality mental health care to the people in our communities.
I have worked with many specialized populations including geriatric and child and adolescent populations. I was a children's therapist for 5 years and spent 2 years as a Children's -Services Director- working with children who are classified as emotionally disturbed and who are having problems with relationships, trauma, grief- and other issues. I am familiar with and experienced with issues of self-esteem, bullying, relationships, peer pressure, and family conflict. I have worked in the homes with families who are facing parent/child discord due to many issues of adolescence,
My approach is cognitive-behavioral as well as person-centered and solution-focused. I believe in teaching and giving people the tools to find solutions to current issues and use them in the future. My goal is to help you make the best decisions and feel good about these decisions. I believe in constantly learning and improving my skills to pass on the best and most current information and solutions to my clients.
I am an alumnus of the National Health Service Corps- a program that encourages qualified professionals to work in health shortage areas to serve the underserved population. Everyone deserves excellent services, regardless of situations, circumstances, characteristics, or past decisions.
I am very person-centered and look forward to helping you find your strengths, build upon them, and address whatever issue brought you to this site. Everyone has a story and knowledge to offer to others. Together, we will look at how to use your story's strengths and add other coping skills, problem identification, and problem-solving skills to your knowledge base. Everyone has one life; we deserve the best, most fulfilling life possible. And sometimes, everyone needs some help.
Let me know if you are ready to learn new ways of dealing with problems that are reducing your life satisfaction. I am eager and excited to partner with you and help you move in whatever direction you want your life to go.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Coralea Dalrymple. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Coralea Dalrymple is a great counselor. She helps me cope with my anxiety. My anxiety is much much less controlling because of her expertise. She checks in on me and makes sure that everything is going well. I have recommended this counseling to several others because of my experience with her counseling me.
Coralea is a great counselor!
I think that Mrs. Dalrymple is a wonderful therapist. She listens without judgement and doesn’t get offended if you don’t respond or talk for a while. She’s patient, which is exactly what I need. We haven’t talked for a long time but I can’t imagine a better person
We have really loved working with Coralea. My boyfriend (now Fiancé) wanted to make sure we got some issues and better communication skills before getting engaged. Counseling has been incredibly beneficial to our relationship. It’s such a great way to discuss difficult topics in a structured way. I recommend counseling for anyone!
Coralea has been very professional and has helped already tremendously. She responds very quickly and seems to really care about the situation you're going through. Would recommend 100%.
I don’t even have words to describe how amazing she is. She didn’t beat around the bush when it came to certain things but was understanding on other things. Ms Coralea guided me through so many tough times and helped me understand myself and other around me a little more. I would recommend her to anyone on the hunt for an online counselor if I’m person therapy is too intimidating or may not have the time to.
Coralea Dalrymple is very attentive and caring. She offers great tips and advice. She very often checks in on her client when she hasn't heard from you in awhile. I highly recommend her.
Coralea has helped me immensely. She was my counselor for 4 months and she was always patient, understanding, and gave me plenty of ways to tackle difficult things I hadn't considered before. It was very refreshing to have someone to bounce things off of who could give me a fresh perspective. Not only was she a great listener, but she was responsive to messages, we spoke at least once a week, and as a result I've been able to handle my issues much more effectively. I highly recommend Coralea.
Coralea has been an extremely supportive and professional counselor. I couldn't be more pleased with the progress we've made in such a short period of time. Her guidance is always thorough, affirming, and well thought out. She knows and loves the Lord, and that shines through her words!
She is very helpful and understanding! Always replies in a good amount of time, and makes me feel very comfortable opening up!
Coralea helped me process my emotions after I lost my job. She is kind, encouraging, and asks questions which will get you thinking. With her guidance, I have gotten to a point where I feel much more confident in myself and my ability to reflect on my actions and emotions. :)
She has been very respectful and helpful in the different difficulties I have faced. I am very thankful for her encouraging feedback and have begun the road to recovery because of her recommendations and our discussions.
She is great! She gives it to me straight which is something I need! She helps me see past my delusional brain. I’m 100% pleased with her!!!
Coralea has been very helpful to me.
She is very patient with allowing me to unfold my life and problems. She seems very concerned and does a great job softening the conversation for me.
Coralea is good, understands my concerns and helps me in moving on in my life.
Coralea has been very helpful. She was spot on with her advice from day one & gave me some much needed guidance and understanding regarding what I was going through. I would highly recommend her.
Coralea is an experienced professional with genuine empathy and kindness for her clients. I highly recommend her.
Coralea is conscientious and timely in all of her responses to my communications. She listens without judgement and genuine concern. She has a real love for those in need and a heart to serve in that regard. Working with Coralea has helped me sort through some issues and concerns that had to be addressed. I thank God for people with servant hearts like Coralea.
I would definitely recommend Coralea. She always listens and provides me with ways to improve myself for the better. She is always positive and checks in with me often. You won't be disappointed with Coralea! :)
