19 years of experience offering psychology treatment
Welcome! My name is Rebecca Woods. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of North Carolina. I have over 16 years of experience providing counseling services to individuals, groups and families. I earned my bachelor of science degree from Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania where I majored in social work. I earned my master of social work degree from the University of Pittsburgh, where my focus was on direct practice. My therapeutic approach is person centered which means my goal is to meet you where you are in your journey. It is of primary importance to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship so you feel safe within your counseling journey. I will work with you to determine what your goals are in counseling and we will develop a plan together to help you meet your goals. I have experience facilitating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I have been trained in trauma focused models, perinatal mental health, and tobacco cessation models. The model I utilize in my services depends on what is best for you as my client. Some of my experience is as follows: I have had the privilege to work with youth who have been in residential treatment and with their families. I have experience developing and implementing behavior modification plans and helping parents/caregivers develop and implement behavior modification plans for their children. Parenting is difficult, but together, we can develop a plan that works best for your family. I also have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and ADHD. I have worked with new parents who have faced perinatal mood disorders. I have a strong belief that setting healthy boundaries is important professionally and personally. As a supervisor, I have worked with professionals to set healthy boundaries to prevent burnout. When not working, I enjoy running and I spend as much time paddle boarding on the ocean as I can. My husband and I have two boys, one who will be entering the teenage years shortly and one with whom we are currently in the depths of the joys and challenges of the teenage journey. Our two rescue pups complete our family. I applaud your courage for seeking counseling services as it takes strength to reach out. Please know there is hope and you are not alone. I would welcome the opportunity to join with you on your journey to health and wellness! I am generally available in the evenings and weekends. While I strive to keep my calendar up to date, I encourage you to contact me directly about availability.

Life can often be difficult, causing individuals to feel lonely and overwhelmed. Many of my clients begin therapy because they are struggling with an emotional void and they are wondering how to live their best life. My therapeutic style is warm, non-judgmental, strength based and solution focused. The strong therapeutic relationship I work to cultivate is often the catalyst for my clients to become more self aware, insightful and in control of their life. I have over 22 years experience working with adults, children and families. It has been an honor to work side by side with and guide clients through challenges that seem impossible to overcome, including depression, anxiety, grief, sexual, physical and emotional abuse, substance use and unhealthy family dynamics. It would be a privilege to help you to discover your inherent strengths so you can begin to feel better about yourself and your life.

Hi there! I am Brandi Geddings, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I am nationally certified through the National Board of Certified Counselors and am also active in the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). I desire to use my personal and professional skills to relate and meet where you presently are in life. This is done with empathy and curiosity using relaxed and practical methods. I believe strong rapport, nonjudgment, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard are of most importance when developing and maintaining a therapeutic relationship. My style of counseling involves taking a holistic approach to help you identify strengths within yourself, recognize any negative patterns or concerns, and develop improved thought patterns and coping skills. I tend to be easy going and talk without using a lot of clinical terms while taking a collaborative and equal position with you. I hope to walk alongside you and be supportive, non-judgmental, and open-minded as we navigate difficult areas of life. With many individuals, I use a strength-based person-centered integrative approach. This is often solution-focused and includes interactive CBT, DBT, techniques, psychoeducation, problem-solving skill-building, family systems, active/reflective listening, mindfulness, existential therapy techniques; with a general approach of holistic wellness (physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, occupational). You may also prefer a simple emotional outlet. I am here to listen and provide support for you. I have worked in an outpatient therapy setting with a diverse population of individuals that include children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan as well as working across social and class lines. I provide counseling services through individual, family, group, and psychoeducational settings. Some areas of expertise and competence include teen and adolescence, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, life transition phases, adult ADHD, adjustment/transition, executive functioning, family dynamics, effective communication skills, and self-esteem. I hope to assist in meeting your personal goals and create practical coping mechanisms to build on. I won't suggest interventions that are complex or that doesn't make sense for your current life. We will work together to create goals that are meaningful and rewarding throughout the therapy process. I always encourage open communication regarding what is helpful and not to ensure a positive therapeutic experience and move forward towards goals. I cannot wait to meet and begin working with you!!!

No matter what kind of challenges or difficulties or painful situations you go through in your life, we all have something deep within us that we can reach down and find the inner strength to get through them. Alana Stewart My name is Melanie Griffin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), practicing in North Carolina (#C11127). I am also licensed and have done extensive work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Connecticut (#007008). I have been a Therapist/ LCSW for over 12 years and take pride in the fact that I have worked with a diverse population/culture of people. I received my Master of Social Work (MSW), from Southern CT State University, I also hold a Bachelors (BS) in Public Health. I have done work in such areas as Forensics, Community Services, Crisis Intervention, Trauma, Mental Health and Addictions, Geriatrics, Adolescent Services and Family Reunification. I firmly believe in “Meeting the client where they are”. This, I believe has enhanced my role as a truly empathetic therapist and has helped me to understand the importance of Person-Centered Therapy. CBT is another theory which I strongly believe really works in therapy. I understand that reaching out for help can not only be scary, but for many it still holds a realm of stigma and shame, this is why I am so conscious of the therapist’s role of engaging with their client for the purpose of opening up the gates of trust, empathy and understanding. If I can help you in anyway, please reach out to me.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who has been in the helping profession for over 18 years. I received my licenses to practice in 2011 prior to that I was a case manager for at risk youth ad individuals with developmental disabilities. I have always enjoyed helping people realize their best self. My personal theoretical orientation to counseling is an integrative approach based on person-centered view that the relationship between the counselor and client is important for healthy change. I will try to enable the client to become more fully and creatively alive and to become free from the blocks and unfinished business that may diminish satisfaction, fulfillment, and growth, and to experiment with new ways of being. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an effective approach for many clients. I also believe that a Cognitive (thought process) approach coupled with behavior changes is effective for many clients. I also acknowledge the importance of the client’s spiritual orientation and incorporate their belief system as a part of the therapeutic process. I am always striving to be my best self and I enjoy assisting others in discovering the positional that they have within. We have the ability to have total wellness, I want to assist you in attaining total wellness.

35 years of experience offering psychology treatment
I have a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in 1984. I have been a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida for over 25 years and am currently licensed as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor(LCMHC) in North Carolina. I am also a national certified counselor (NCC) by the National Board for Certified Counselors .I am trained to work with individuals and groups, as well as teaching and supervising perspective counselors at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth, Florida Theoretical Orientation: Counseling is a special type of relationship which demands that the counselor always consider the well-being of the client. Although, I have an eclectic point of view, my theoretical orientation is person-centered. I respect and value the goals of the client as the best path toward self-growth and personal fulfillment, so after a detailed intake session which includes family and personal history, identification of the issues, and importantly, client strengths as well as weaknesses, the client and myself, together, design a treatment plan which usually includes some behavioral contracts and homework assignments. I do not believe that I hold the answers to solve a client’s problems, but rather see my role as a resource and support person whose job is to empower clients to take personal responsibility for their own choices. I choose to engage the client in building resources through positive reinforcement, role-play, and esteem-building exercises. In addition to talk therapy, I expect the client to be an active participant in the therapeutic process. Treatment Options: I am also a Certified Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist and have found that hypnotherapy is one of the most effective treatment modalities used, producing lasting results while being cost effective because less sessions are usually required. I also employ Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, also known as Tapping) as a useful practice in helping to relieve anxiety or change undesired behaviors. These techniques are only utilized after a full exploration of client needs and a thorough explanation of the processes and an agreement signed by the client. I believe in providing a safe environment that is non-judgemental and allows for feedback by the client to help focus the course of therapy, and if you choose to work with me, I will do my best to be honest and authentic in pursuit of your goals, and would be honored to be a part your journey.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services
Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Star area can be found below:
How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Star therapist?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Star due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:
- Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- Counseling with therapists: $100-300
- Therapy with a clinician: $100
While many psychologists in Star may not take health insurance, some in the state of North Carolina may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of North Carolina you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Star?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Star therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
With a lot of people in NC, therapists may be booked out with clients.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Star, North Carolina can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
Star has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
