Therapists in North Carolina

Greetings! My name is Joseph Howard. After several years working as a counselor with military-connected clients, I have returned to BetterHelp. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Indendent Social Worker.. I first began working in the counseling field in 1988. I've worked in a variety of settings throughout my career. I've worked with children, teenagers, families, couples and single adults. Most recently, I served assignments as a counselor with the US Military, serving children, adolescents and families. I've also worked in private practice with adults and young adults entering the world of college, careers and relationships. Clients have found me to be compassionate and down-to-earth. My aim is to help you gain deeper awareness, self-compassion and healing in areas of your life that until now, may have remained confusing and hidden. It's the path of discovering yourself, of accepting and loving yourself as you are. I use a non-pathological approach with all of my clients. We are all works in progress, worthy of success. Our time together is designed to give you new experiential information and to help you take action in alignment with your core goals, to write the story that you want to live, and to live it. This is counseling with a practical, spiritual and emotional focus. Change happens from the inside out and and also from the outside in. I assist you to use both approaches in the most effective ways. Often, I will ask you to do a task or try some new actions. this might be during our session on in your free time. I've found that counseling works when you work it. Counseling isn't a passive process. I want to help you get deeper into your life. You deserve the best! My clinical orientation and training includes Client-Centered Therapy, P.E.E.R. (Primary-Emotional-Energy-Recovery), Gestalt, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems,Energy, somatic-based methods and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I also draw from Yogic and Russian Systema-based breatjwork. I've found that some of the principles and exercises are useful in helping clients to feel calmer, release stress, have more groundedness and take decisive actions. I look forward to our work together!

Welcome, The counseling experience is one of a very personal, shared interaction; one of the most crucial aspect of this relationship is trust. People come to counseling because they want something to be different in their lives. The counseling process can be fun and exciting, and at times, possibly challenging. However, the goal will always be to bring about some positive change. My approach to counseling is best described as and can include: strength based, solution-focused, client-centered while utilizing cognitive behavioral and/or family systems techniques. I believe people are capable of reaching their fullest potential given the right support and tools for change. Whenever possible, treatment should involve the entire support system. The goals and techniques of therapy will be based on the client specific goals and reasons for entering into counseling. I view counseling as a process where I help my client explore, clarify and identify their needs and facilitate them in making changes in thoughts, beliefs and behaviors. I also value collaborating with other community resources in order to extend support for the well-being of the client. I look forward to working with you.
