I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in NC with over 20 years of experience working as a therapist and school counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, anxiety, anger issues, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced relationship conflicts.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gerald Ziemba. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Mr. Ziemba has an empathetic demeanor and general air of trustworthiness that comes through within the first couple of minutes of conversation. He listens actively and provides feedback that is applicable and actionable. He is respectful of personal beliefs and seems to take a holistic approach to therapy, using a wide variety of approaches to help his patients find what works best for them. He is encouraging with his responses and celebrates your progress. He holds you accountable to your thoughts and actions so that you are able to work through your emotions and better yourself. I was hesitant about using an online therapist in the beginning, but Mr. Ziemba has been more helpful than I could have hoped for.
