Haven of Healing for Youth & Families

LISW-CP, LICDC

Licensed In:
Florida, Idaho, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Vermont
“I work with adolescents and adults who may look like they’re handling everything on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. Many of my clients are navigating trauma or PTSD, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, major life transitions, career uncertainty, identity concerns, or the emotional and physical changes that can accompany menopause. I’m especially well suited for clients who want more than a place to vent. You may want to better understand why you think, feel, or respond the way you do, recognize patterns, learn practical tools, and be appropriately challenged along the way. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin exactly where you are and work together to determine where you want to go.”

“Goodness of fit is important in all areas of life, especially in connecting with your therapist. If you are going through life always wondering if others are judging you as much as you are judging you, therapy can be a time to turn off that noise and focus on self-compassion. As a licensed psychologist who works with adults, I have specialties in eating disorders, body image concerns, self-esteem, and women’s mental health. Over the course of my experiences, I have also developed a particular interest in working with college and graduate students, as well as young professionals on adjustment issues, and IVF support. I also provide fertility consultations for recipients of egg, sperm, or embryo donations.”

“Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stretched thin are common experiences for the folks I work with. Many of my clients struggle with burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, insomnia, relationship stress, or the sense that they're not quite "doing enough." Sometimes big transitions, like early parenthood, career shifts, or divorce are contributing to this, and sometimes it's just due to patterns folks have learned that were once helpful for surviving day to day, but aren't serving them anymore. The clients I work with often want to find relief from anxiety, depression, or OCD, but also improve their sense of balance in their lives, working toward creating sustainable change.”

Finding online care in North Carolina

Online therapy can be a practical option in North Carolina because access to care can vary a lot depending on where you live. In Charlotte and the Triangle, traffic and spread-out metro areas can turn even a short appointment into a bigger time commitment. In western North Carolina, mountain travel and winter weather can make regular in-person care harder to keep. Along the coast, storm season and evacuation planning can disrupt routines. For people in smaller towns or rural communities, telehealth can also open up options beyond the nearest office. Telehealth is a way to reduce long commutes for rural residents, and the state’s transportation and emergency resources reflect how much travel conditions can shape daily life across the state. Online care can help you stay consistent around work, school, caregiving, and changing schedules while giving you access to a wider pool of North Carolina-licensed providers. As you browse, think about fit, availability, session format, and payment options, and use the resources below if you want to verify a license or find public support.

Online therapy in North Carolina: common questions

How do I use this page to find the right fit for online therapy in North Carolina?

Start with the filters that matter most to you, such as specialty, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and whether you are looking for therapy or medication management. Then read a few profiles closely and compare things like approach, availability, and whether the provider feels like a good match for what you want help with. It can help to reach out to two or three people so you can compare fit before booking.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

A good place to start is asking whether the therapist is licensed to see clients in North Carolina, whether they work with the concern you want help with, and what their style is like. You can also ask what the first few sessions usually involve, how scheduling works, and what to expect for cost, insurance, or self pay. Beyond logistics, it is okay to pay attention to how you feel in the conversation. Therapy is personal, and feeling comfortable with the therapist matters.

Does my online therapist have to live in North Carolina, and what happens if I travel out of state?

No. Your online therapist does not have to live in North Carolina. What matters most is whether they are authorized to work with clients who are physically in North Carolina during the session. If you travel out of state or regularly split time between North Carolina and another state, bring that up early. Your provider may need to be licensed in both states to see you. If travel, school, work trips, or seasonal living are part of your routine, our find a therapist licensed in multiple states page can help you narrow your search.

What types of mental health services are available online through telehealth in North Carolina?

Depending on the provider, you may find individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and testing and evaluations. The right fit depends on what kind of support you are looking for and what each provider offers through telehealth.

Can I find medication management providers here, and how is medication management different from online therapy?

Yes. You can use the filters to look for medication management providers here. Medication management is different from online therapy. Online therapy usually focuses on talking through what you are going through, building insight, learning coping tools, and working toward change over time. Medication management focuses on whether medication may help, what to try, how it is working, and whether anything needs to be adjusted. Some practices offer therapy, some offer medication management, and some offer both. If you are needing controlled substances prescribed, it is important to first check with the provider about any additional restrictions that may apply to prescribing via telehealth.

Where can I start if I need lower cost or public mental health support in North Carolina?

A good place to start is North Carolina’s public mental health and crisis support system. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has a statewide help page that can connect you to treatment and support, including local contacts for public mental health services, people with Tailored Plans, people without insurance, and people whose insurance does not cover everything they need. You can also use North Carolina Crisis Services for 988, mobile crisis teams, community crisis centers, and walk in options. 211 North Carolina can help with free, confidential referrals to local health and human services, and the North Carolina chapter of NAMI offers support groups, education, and other resources. The official links are included in the resources below.

How do I verify a therapist or prescriber’s North Carolina license?

Use the official North Carolina board lookup tools. The North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensure Board covers clinical social workers, the North Carolina Board of Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors covers counselors, and the North Carolina Marriage and Family Therapy Licensure Board covers marriage and family therapists. For psychologists, use the North Carolina Psychology Board. For psychiatrists and physician assistants, use the North Carolina Medical Board lookup. For nurse practitioners, use the North Carolina Board of Nursing verification page. You can find links for verifying licenses in the resources below.

Does insurance cover online therapy in North Carolina, and how does payment usually work?

Often, yes, but coverage depends on your plan. Before your first appointment, it helps to ask whether the provider is in network, what your copay or deductible is, and whether telehealth visits are handled the same way as office visits. If you are using insurance, your cost will usually depend on your plan and network status. If you are paying out of pocket, many therapists charge per session, either when you book or after the appointment. Some may also provide a superbill if you submit an out of network reimbursement later. It is a good idea to ask about session fees, payment timing, cancellation policies, and any insurance questions before you get started.

What technology or privacy setup do I need for virtual sessions?

For most online therapy appointments, it is best to meet from a secure location with privacy and a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is usually ideal, though it may also be possible to meet from a phone or tablet depending on the provider and platform they use. Most sessions take place by video. In some cases, phone calls or secure messaging may also be part of telehealth, and some providers may use text or email for parts of communication or follow up. Many providers also have their own policies about where sessions can be conducted and how they use phone, text, or email, so it is best to check with the provider ahead of time.

When is online therapy not the right choice?

Online therapy may not be the best fit if you are in immediate crisis, need emergency support, need a higher level of care, or do not have a private place for sessions. In those situations, in person care or local crisis services may be a better fit. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away. North Carolina’s 988 page says the service is free, private, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
