Hello, my name is Jenny and I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina providing therapy through Better Help. I'm so glad you have decided to explore therapy. I completed a BA in Psychology from NCCU and earned my Master of Social Work at NC State. For many years, I have partnered with countless individuals in my work at local hospitals and various outpatient settings to help them process their feelings and move forward with a healthier mindset. My overall message has always been, ' Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated!' I believe in actively listening to understand the stressors, thoughts, feelings, and values of my clients so I can reflect their resilient strength and increase their awareness. No matter who we are, when we're confronted with problems it's helpful to have reflection from someone who is compassionate, has personal and professional experience, is educated and unbiased. But ultimately, I believe we're healthiest when we can become confident in knowing ourselves best with or without affirmation from others. I employ a variety of strategies to help you re-frame the challenges of your life and navigate the trauma and loss. I am adept at solution-focused brief therapy. My foundation is built on cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy approaches. In essence, if you change the way you think, you can change the way you behave. I am grateful to provide therapy and would be honored to assist you .

Welcome! My name is Sarah Thomasson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Addiction's Specialist (LCAS) in the state of North Carolina with nine years of experience as a clinician in behavioral health. While I have worked primarily in outpatient behavioral health settings, I have had the opportunity to begin providing telehealth therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. My experience ranges in working with clients ages 18-70 with a broad spectrum of concerns including but not limited to substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, mood disorders, life transitions, intimate partner violence, chronic pain, perinatal and postnatal disorders, parenting stressors, grief and loss, and women-specific issues. I have also worked with many people who have experienced physical trauma and/or emotional abuse. My therapeutic approach is based in client-centered, family systems and humanistic theories, while integrating various other methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I focus on providing a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, and empowering counseling style to assist you in achieving the desired changes you hope to make in your life. It is important that we create a safe space for you within the therapeutic relationship to address life challenges you are facing. I utilize a trauma-informed approach to ensure that I am sensitive to your experiences and believe in identifying and focusing on your personal strengths to find solutions to your problems. Therapy can be creative and it may be helpful for us to implement various modalities such as writing or technology to address your unique concerns. You are your own expert--my role is to be a guide where needed along your journey. I look forward to working with you!

I am a provisional Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Masters in Social Work from East Carolina University in 2009. I have been providing support to children, adolescences, adults with disabilities, and their families since 2003. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma, Mood Disorders, and ADHD. I also have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. It’s an honor to be able to come along side others during their journey. I am passionate about helping women, parents raising adolescents and/or foster children, and young adults. It has also been a pleasure supporting foster parents as they learn various behavioral management techniques to best support a child demonstrating challenging behaviors. My counseling style is a strengths-based approach and I use a collaborative problem solving approach to help tackle life’s challenges. But I have learned along the way there is nothing to big for God to help us through. He has taught me I can trust in Him and His plans are greater than my plans.(Jeremiah 28:11, Romans 8:28-29)

Something is wrong, you just know it. Your chest feels tight, you can’t focus, you’re dropping the ball on important tasks. This perfect image you have crafted is falling apart and you don’t know what to do. You have tried it all. You have bought all the planners, followed all the wellness Instagram accounts, and tried all the self-care products, but nothing helps. The problem feels deeper. It’s a problem you can tackle alone. It is tough to admit, but you need some help. Some extra support. Someone who understands and won’t judge you. Imagine this. Your toolbox is full of strategies to calm yourself down, take control of your thoughts, and live in the moment so you can enjoy life again. You know what activities fill your cup. It’s no longer about what is right, it’s about what works for you. You feel lighter, feel more joy, and know you can conquer the world as you have always planned. You know it is all going to be better than okay from now on. I draw from a few therapeutic techniques including Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor my approach to your unique needs. My primary goal is to understand your core values and personality and make efforts to support you in aligning your actions with who you are. Together we work to understand the root cause of your anxiety and develop a holistic approach to making lasting changes in your life.
