Therapists in Clemmons, NC

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist in North Carolina, where I have worked since completing my education. As a therapist, I have worked in both outpatient mental health/substance use treatment clinics and inpatient settings. Over the years, I have worked with individuals who experience challenges with symptoms related to anxiety, who have been experienced challenges in relationships, and those who are wanting to increase stress management skills. In working with clients, I utilize an eclectic range of skills and tools but typically find that solution-focused skills, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing tools are useful to a wide range of individuals. Whether we are addressing the thoughts that might be re-enforcing anxiety, working on a wellness action plan, or creating a relapse prevention plan for substance use, I practice from a recovery-model perspective, which offers that everyone has the ability to recover and achieve wellness. Regardless of what area we might focus our attention on or what techniques we might use, I always believe in being compassionate and empathetic, honest, and warm. As someone who will walk alongside you on your journey to wellness, I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. My goal is to provide you with the support that is specifically tailored to your strengths and needs. Moving towards wellness can feel like a daunting task, but I am here to offer my support as you begin your journey.

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!
