I'm glad you've made it here today. It seems you have decided to put yourself on your list of important people that need to be attended to. Your visit indicates that you are embracing change as you focus on your self care & invest in your mental health needs. For many this self-prioritization may be long overdue.
Initiating counseling can be a challenging step to take and I recognize that finding an online counselor for telehealth services who is a good fit can be a daunting process.
So, let us begin
I provide online individual counseling & virtual therapy for adults across North Carolina and Florida. Teletherapy known as telehealth allows for your sessions to occur virtually from the comfort of your home or other private setting while utilizing a secure HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. Sessions are scheduled during the afternoon & evening hours.
Therapy is tailored through an integrative, holistic lens incorporating solutions-focused & cognitive behavioral therapy. The integrative approach allows the counselor to fully individualize treatment to each client's needs. This has a significantly positive effect on the rapport between the client & counselor. The integrative approach is also noted as having a positive impact on the overall effectiveness of treatment.
Specialty areas treated include developing self-awareness, establishing healthy boundaries, identifying healthy ways to cope, anxiety, unresolved trauma, thought spirals, motivation, recognizing & decreasing patterns of self-sabotage, understanding self-worth, self-esteem, people pleasing, resolving feelings of shame, navigating through life & career transitions, parent/child dynamics (through the lifespan), family conflict, identity exploration & development, managing grief & loss.
Look, I know people search for counselors and often go through a few before finding a good fit. This journey which may already be stacked with feelings of vulnerability can become disheartening for some. With those in mind, my intention on this site has been to be a bit thorough in order to activate the 'are we a fit' filter sooner rather than later. Hopefully it saves you some time & cuts back on the tedious feelings associated with finding someone you feel may actually 'get you'. Reach out. We'll schedule a quick consultation call. Words on a screen only go so far. I look forward to hearing from you!

Simply put online therapy is convenient. You do not have to concern yourself with the limitations of the 'therapy near me' searches. I have mental health licenses in both North Carolina & Florida which allows me to provide virtual therapy services for clients across these states.
Clients appreciate the ease in which they can join their sessions & the flexibility in choosing a counselor who they feel best fits their mental health needs regardless of proximity. Online therapy removes obstacles related to distance, scheduling, traffic, weather and illness which may interrupt participation.
Overall, telehealth services allow for increased client choice.
Virtual counseling sessions do not require one to be tech savy. All that is needed is:
-A device with a microphone and camera (i.e. smartphone, computer or tablet). Most devices have mics & cameras already.
-Reliable internet connection.
-Privacy (home, office, parked car, patio). Whatever private & safe space works for you.
Therapy is an individualized process therefore gains will vary based on each client's identified goals. This being acknowledged broader gains for many may relate to a better understanding of what I refer to as the ABC's of therapy. Increasing self awareness, developing healthy boundaries and strengthening one's overall ability to cope.
We will also work together to disrupt patterns of thoughts, behaviors and communication which you feel no longer serve your best interests.

Some people feel the online telehealth platform may limit their ability to connect with their therapist & build rapport. Although this may be true for some, for many it has turned out to be a false assumption. If you are unsure if online sessions would be a good fit for you, feel free to reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call.
