Stephen Murphy
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland. My experience includes clinical social work, risk management, regulatory compliance, quality assurance, case management, crisis intervention, advocacy, brokerage, education, and facilitation working with diverse groups of children, adolescents, and adults in medical social work, child welfare, mental health/chemical dependency, corrections, HIV/AIDS, and Veteran Affairs. While working with these clients, I have acquired necessary clinical skills relevant to culturally diverse practice and effective outcomes. I am a well-organized, highly motivated, and an energetic team player dedicated to meeting my clients where they are through both micro and macro level social work interventions. Working in Mental Health for over 12 years, I've learned that people are literally trying to put the pieces of their life together just to make it through the day. Being sensitive to this, I've developed my practice model around the following quote, "We're only as strong as our weakest link; therefore do your best to strengthen someone today!" My goal every day is to strengthen someone (self-included) in some area. Let's Live in Purpose so we can Win on Purpose!

Joy Rabon
Hi! I’m Joy Rabon, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Alabama, North Carolina, and a registered telehealth provider in Florida. I offer online therapy to adults across all three states, making it easier for you to get the support you need, wherever you are. With over 30 years of experience in public, private, and school settings, I bring a down-to-earth, whole-person approach to therapy. I'm also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and an Integrative Mental Health Professional, which means I look at the full picture—mind, body, brain, and spirit—when helping clients work through challenges. My style is relaxed, conversational, and compassionate. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods silently—I’m engaged, curious, and here to walk with you through whatever you're facing. I draw from approaches like Narrative and Solution-Focused Therapy, along with holistic, systemic, and neuroscience-informed practices, to support emotional and relational healing. I have a special focus on helping people navigate traumatic stress and life transitions, and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real connection. That’s why I keep my practice small and I offer a more personalized approach. I currently live in Dothan, Alabama, but still feel deeply connected to the Boone/Blowing Rock area of North Carolina, where I lived for many years and still visit often. When I’m not in session, you’ll usually find me spending time with my partner, family, cats, bunny, and grand-kitty, exploring nature, thrifting, or getting into a good series. I also love to travel and am currently learning German to enhance my traveling experiences and connect with new cultures. If you’re looking for a warm, personal space to heal, grow, and feel more balanced, I’d love to connect. Additional Information: I generally respond once a day to messages, usually in the mornings, CST. While I may respond over the weekend, this is not always guaranteed. As a licensed therapist, I am required by law to obtain your full name, date of birth, contact information, consent for counseling, and a photo ID. Anonymous clients cannot be accommodated. Consent is given by reviewing and accepting the member information form before our first appointment. You must send your full name, contact information, date of birth, and photo ID before we meet for our first session. I am happy to answer any questions regarding this process. I recommend uploading a close-view headshot photo to your profile. This helps me distinguish between clients with the same first name and ensures smooth scheduling. If you are experiencing recent, frequent, or intrusive thoughts of self-harm or harming others, this platform may not be suitable. Please seek emergency or crisis assistance or find offline therapy in your local area. For the US: 988 will put you in touch with a support line. If you have any questions or need further information to make an informed decision about your counseling experience and therapeutic goals, please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to working with you!

I will offer support and a safe space to discuss what you need help with. I will provide a collaborative environment in which we can work together to achieve your goals. It takes courage to reach out and talk with someone you don't know. But I intend to make you comfortable by actively listening, offering encouragement, and providing feedback.

My approach combines cognitive behavior therapy, person centered therapy, and solution focused therapy. I have experience in depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and more. I look forward to talking with you!
