Terron Simpson
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I have worked as a licensed therapist over the past 9 years providing individual and family therapy as well as couple therapy in various settings including telehealth. I have worked with individuals (adolescents, adults, men & women) with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit, bipolar, anger management problems, marital/relationship issues, parenting problems, sexual problems, and career concerns. These problems often cause major disruptions in our daily life. My approach is often solution focus, client and holistic centered but I also can use other approaches to cater to the person’s needs. I believe that it is very important to look at the whole person (environment, family, medical, financial, etc.) instead of just the presenting problems. I like to take a nonjudgmental, caring, and respectful approach to help the person navigate through their journey and learn how to cope with their daily life stressors by using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focus Therapy, and Reality Therapy. I know taken the first step to seeking therapy is big and anxiety invoking but if you take the first step, I will take the rest of the steps with you. I look forward to working with you soon.

I use Motivational Interviewing as a means to engage individuals in their treatment.
