About me

Hello, I am Ann Aycock, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the heart of North Carolina. With 10 years of dedicated practice, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate their unique journeys toward healing, personal growth, and achieving their life goals. My mission is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. Together, we will identify practical strategies and tools to overcome challenges and unlock the best version of yourself. Whether you’re seeking clarity, resilience, or a renewed sense of purpose, I am here to help you take the next step with confidence and compassion.

My approach blends evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing, with techniques that empower you to envision and create the life you desire. Whether you are navigating significant life transitions, seeking to strengthen your relationships, exploring your career path, or fostering personal and mental wellness, I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.

I believe in the power of respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Our work together will be a collaborative process where you can freely explore your feelings, gain clarity on your aspirations, and overcome any obstacles that may be holding you back.

Each session is customized to align with your unique strengths, preferences, and needs. Taking the first step toward change requires courage, and I am here to be your steadfast ally through the exhilarating and sometimes challenging journey toward a more fulfilling and joyful life.

I really appreciate Ann's gentleness and inquisitiveness and curiosity. I feel comfortable sharing

She listens and meets me where I am currently at emotionally. She has good tools and tips.

This has been a great experience so far. I really enjoy my time with Ann. She helps me uncover parts of myself and guides me to identify what I can work on to make positive changes in my life. She guides, supports, and encourages. She celebrates my successes with me and helps me through the tougher moments. I like that she sends me things to review and work through. I really like that I can do it online and the hours are convenient. I strongly recommend Ann and BetterHelp to anyone needing therapy.
