Many of us can use the support of therapy at some point in our lives. Whether we lack confidence, are experiencing major relationship issues, or are interested in personal growth, therapy offers tools to increase low self-esteem, learn healthy communication, or help us cope with change. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Concord, NC may offer more options than surrounding rural areas, but when looking for a person-centered approach it may be challenging to find the right therapist even in a city. There are a number of therapeutic approaches available in the field of psychotherapy, and which will be most effective can depend on treatment goals and personal preferences. While cognitive behavior therapy can be an effective way to provide support to someone experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, other approaches may be more effective for treating personality disorders. The therapy that you want or need may not necessarily be available nearby. 

This is where online therapy can help. BetterHelp is an online therapy platform that offers access to Concord-based mental health professionals that specialize in a variety of therapeutic modalities and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because motivational interviewing and strong rapport can be key components to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions can fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home.

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.
