Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in North Carolina

I predominantly use CBT along with a few other modalities. I think it is important to identify why we are thinking the way we are or where thoughts come from so we can appropriately change our behaviors.

I have been a social worker for over 10 years and my passion is helping people accomplish their goals. I believe that having a strong support system, no matter how big or small, is a key step in achieving our goals. I want to be part of your support system. My passion is watching people grow and become the best versions of themselves.

CBT is amazing. Challenge your thinking and change your life for the better!

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by helping clients identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors. It involves recognizing distorted thinking, challenging those thoughts, modifying behaviors, and building practical skills. CBT can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, teach effective coping strategies, and improve overall functioning by promoting healthier thought patterns and behaviors.

The first session involves A LOT of questions! I want to learn all about you; why you are coming to therapy; what you enjoy about your life as well as what you want to change. By the end of the first session, together we develop goals you would like to accomplish in therapy. These goals will include thoughts, feelings, and maybe even physical experiences of anxiety and distress you want to change. CBT uses data from our thoughts and our behaviors to help identify what is working and what may not be working. Through identification of both positive and negative core beliefs, together we can begin to alter your experience of the world around you and change your response to increase healthy behaviors and decrease negative experiences (i.e. anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, irritability, etc).

Utilizing CBT can be a great way to challenge anxiety & depression. I like to utilize activities to practice reframing schemas. I occassionally will provide some psychoeducation about these topics in an attempt to provide you with a clear picture & understand the "why".

I believe the therapy process is a marathon, not a sprint. Pacing and patience are key to the type of collaborative therapy I offer. In this “marathon”, I am open to discussing what tactics you want to use to create the change you want to see. As a counselor, I use myself as a vehicle for change in the therapeutic process. I bring a warm, personable, and laid-back nature to each session because I believe everyone needs a comfortable space to share their story. I push my clients in the direction of their goals, but I respect the importance of pacing and patience during the therapy “marathon”. I utilize an eclectic approach to meet you where you are. Some of these approaches include Adlerian, Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness therapies. I have experience working with student-athletes and I know how difficult it is juggling academics, work, school, sports, and a personal life. I also enjoy working on self-esteem building. I invite not only student-athletes, but any adolescents and adults who are struggling with life's pressures. If you are looking for someone who will take the role of pushing you to meet your goals while still staying in your corner cheering you on, please feel free to reach out.

My practice is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. CBT is a form of talk therapy that focuses on how a person’s thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes affect their feelings and behaviors. Extensive research has shown that CBT is proven effective in leading to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. CBT involves learning skills to challenge faulty thinking and behavior patterns.
