Therapists in North Carolina

My name is Lynette and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in NC. I have 13 years experience in mental health counseling including trauma therapy, communication issues, family therapy, parenting, and career concerns. I specialize in empowering individuals that may be struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar, family or parenting conflicts, and past and present trauma/abuse. My main therapy approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which primarily uses strategies, coping skills and targeted talk therapy as the predominant interventions. Secondary to CBT, I use DBT, ACT, and Positive Psychology, which use talk therapy, but there again, are mainly made up of learning and applying strategies and coping skills. Also, when the client is willing, we go into those deep places of vulnerability, which provide much healing and change. I do a great deal of exploring issues and with trauma use CPT, along with EMDR and The Flash Technique to process trauma memories and false beliefs. In my experience, a great deal of healing and change come from awareness of how your thoughts, feelings, behavior, and actions influence each other, along with developing patterns that cause distress. To help change unhelpful perspectives and mindsets, I use research based interventions including writing, brief exposure to fears, mindfulness, and guided meditation to facilitate healing. I include spirituality, if requested, and solution focused therapy, along with other treatment vehicles and have seen good progress with many clients. Also, I use interventions based on the Client's personality and needs asking the Client to choose which therapy they want to use.  I am humbled that Clients want my help, and I offer empathy, a nonjudgmental presence, and compassion to assist Clients to gain awareness in reaching their full potential. However, I will also challenge you, especially if I see incongruence. I call myself “your cheerleader” offering a strong therapeutic relationship to promote your healing and change, which is according to research, the largest factor in healing.

I began my working career as an elementary school teacher. Together, my students and I worked on academic goals. I soon noticed that learning issues of some of my students stemmed from relationship problems at home and at school. This effected learning behaviors often producing non-compliance, anger, depression, and anxiety for these children. These behaviors, sometimes with diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health issues, were usually not being addressed clinically and were taking a toll on their academic progress. I continued my education in counseling to better understand these learning barriers so that I could assist children and their parents. As I learned, I gained knowledge and skills to not only help children and parents, but also to help adults and families to navigate life’s problems and to attain their goals. Goals for the counseling process are associated with maintaining healthy relationships as well as adapting various changes that can produce a positive impact upon our lives. During therapy, my clients are made aware of the power they possess, how to dodge problems, how to accomplish goals, and how to perceive life in a positive manner. I now realize that I cared for my students more than for their academic progress. I cared about their personal well-being. I wanted them to feel productive and capable. I wanted them unencumbered by life’s problems but to have the resilience to overcome their deep seeded issues that affected their lives as a whole. I am interested most in sharing what I have learned to influence people reach their goals. It would be a privilege to assist you in this work.
