Online therapy in North Carolina

“I have studied and worked with people who have experienced significant losses/grief (particularly early parental loss) in great depth. I have also had considerable experience with people who are struggling with issues around relationships, anxiety, overfunctioning, infidelity, early adulthood/mid life crises/aging, peri/menopause, fertility, cross cultural issues, perfectionism and existential questions.”

“I work with cycle breakers: adults, couples, parents, and families who are ready to stop repeating patterns they inherited, survived, or learned. My clients are often insightful and high-functioning, but feel stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship conflict, parenting triggers, shame, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, shutdown, or emotional reactivity. They may be healing from complex trauma, family-of-origin wounds, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety or rage, infertility, pregnancy loss, attachment wounds, or relational trauma. Many have done therapy before and understand where the pattern came from, but still feel like insight alone has not helped them change it.”

“You might feel torn between who you are and who you were expected to be. Maybe you’ve been in relationships where you felt unseen, controlled, or emotionally exhausted—but leaving feels complicated. You may struggle with guilt, people-pleasing, or fear of disappointing your family. I work with Indian and immigrant women navigating toxic or confusing relationships, trauma, and attachment wounds. I also support late-diagnosed autistic women who have spent years masking, overanalyzing, or feeling “too much” and “not enough.” Many of my clients are also drawn to spiritual practices, manifestation, and a deeper connection to themselves. Many of my clients are high-achieving on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck internally. If you’re ready to break cycles, trust yourself, and build healthier relationships while deepening your spiritual connection, you’re in the right place.”

“I work with adults (18+), especially women navigating trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also support veterans coping with the lasting impact of stress and trauma, and individuals experiencing complicated grief—especially when loss feels unresolved. In couples counseling, I help partners break patterns of conflict, improve communication, and rebuild connection. If you’re going through a life transition—whether expected or sudden—you might feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost your sense of direction. Together, we can work to help you regain clarity and a stronger sense of self. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and real. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to be honest, understood without judgment, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.”

“I work with busy professionals who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, difficulty focusing, mood regulation, or feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled. I support clients who want to better understand themselves, improve their emotional well-being, and feel more present and engaged in their personal and professional lives.”

“Dr. Dos Santos has a particular interest in clients with complex medical and mental health conditions and has pursued advanced training in addressing the mental health symptoms associated with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Long COVID. Dr. Dos Santos has particular expertise in working with young adults who are transitioning to and managing the stresses of college and young adulthood as she provides strategies and techniques that lead to increased autonomy and independence as well as improved relationships with family, peers and partners. She has a strong background in treating anxiety and depression in adolescents and young adults.”

“Accepting new clients! This space is for the questioners, deep feelers, critical thinkers, artists, muses, queerfolk, neurodivergent minds, and the beautifully complex. In session, I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, as we gently explore the patterns shaping your life. If you know the ache of feeling disconnected from yourself, of looking in the mirror and not quite landing in who you are, you are not alone. Together, we will cultivate compassion so you can reconnect, soften, and begin to truly love the person looking back at you.”

“Many of the people I work with are capable adults who look like they have everything together but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted behind the scenes. They often know what they "should" be doing, but still find themselves stuck in the same patterns. I also work with teens, college students, and parents navigating anxiety, perfectionism, stress, and life's many transitions. My style is warm, direct, and practical. Therapy with me is a conversation, not a lecture. I'll ask questions, notice patterns, and offer honest feedback while helping you develop tools that fit your life. You don't have to have everything figured out before you start. Most people don't. We'll work together to understand what's getting in your way and help you move toward lasting, meaningful change.”

“I work with adults and couples who are feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or uncertain how to move forward. Many of my clients are navigating relationship challenges, communication difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, or the emotional impact of past experiences. Some individuals come to therapy feeling frustrated by repeating the same patterns in their relationships, while others seek greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, or a stronger sense of purpose. Whether you are struggling individually or as a couple, I provide a supportive space where you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, achieve clarity, and create meaningful change.”

“adolescent, young adults, adults”

“Supporting adults dealing with a wide array of concerns and those looking to improve their quality of life. I have extensive experience working with mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, burnout, communication and relationship concerns, trauma, perfectionism, and life transitions.”

“I test/diagnose patients with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder to provide accurate cognitive profiles, diagnoses and treatment recommendations. I also provide therapy to those with neurodivergence who want to learn executive functioning and social skills while also learning how their neurodivergence may impact their mood and daily functioning. I adapt evidence-based protocols (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT, MI) to become neurodivergent friendly and spend much time incorporating family members and also treating family members of a neurodivergent person to provide psychoeducation and guidance and help patients reduce masking and camouflaging. I also LOVE to work with patients going through the transition from high school to college. Developmentally this period of time is so vulnerable and I ensure patients have mood support, ADHD accommodations/skills, and coping skills for adjustment.”
