Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in North Carolina

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a great approach for dealing with anxiety, overthinking and low self esteem by restructuring negative thoughts into positive, I use several helpful exercises to help my clients to get a better perspective.

I use positive approach and help my clients with improving self esteem and reducing overthinking and anxiety. I was providing individual and couple therapy since 2006.

I find CBT very helpful for my clients and utilize this method along with mindfulness a lot.
