I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with a Ph.D. in Counselor Education. My background is working with couples and families experiencing life changes and transitions. These transitions and changes may include (but not limited to) grief and loss, interrelationship issues, depression, and anxiety. Through this work, I am able to work on an individual basis or collaborate with other family members to support practices of open and emotion-focused communication. My work with clients begins with developing a working relationship together so that we may collaborate and meet your goals. You know you best. I am simply here to support navigating hardship, redirecting difficult thoughts and feelings, and guide healthy lifestyle changes. But the working relationship must come first. In this process, I have found my clients are most successful when we work together on a reoccurring basis. This is your time set aside to work on the most important person in your life - you. Finding a counselor that is the right fit can be a hard process but it is essential to create change and support your goals. Let's start there and work together. Looking forward to hearing from you! *Please note that my name has changed to Jennifer McAvoy on my license but prefer to maintain Jennifer Deaton professionally. Although, my clients are welcome to call me Jen.

Hello! Congratulations on taking a big step to feeling better and reaching your goals. Reaching out for help may come easy to you, or it maybe you find it challenging - either way, I hope you are proud of the work you've already put in just by getting to this point. Finding a therapist who is a good fit is so important! Here's a little about me: I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of North Carolina. I've been practicing for 15 years. I have worked with all ages across the lifespan, from young children to wise adults, and in a variety of settings including private practice, inpatient hospitals, community settings, and more. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families with a wide variety of needs and diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, stressors and life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, substance abuse, relationship and marital issues, and parenting struggles. My current specialty and interests include depression, women's issues including pregnancy and postpartum, life stressors or stage of life changes, and marriage/relationship or family issues. I would say I am open-minded, enjoy humor, and am a glass-half-full but still realistic thinker. People tend to describe me as a having a calming presence, a positive thinker, kind, encouraging, and dedicated. I would describe my therapy style as validating, holistic, and honest. I want to hear your story, and I want to hear your goals! I'm here to validate you, encourage you, and cheer you on. But, I also believe my role is to challenge you to think differently, or try things differently in order to help you achieve your goals. Doing the same thing over and over again won't help you reach your goals, so I'm here to help unpack why you may be feeling stuck, or think about ways to overcome the difficulties you are facing. Sometimes this means taking a look back to see how patterns developed that led to being "here". Other times, it means being future-oriented to come up with solutions. I also think it's important to look at the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. Usually if one part is off, it is probably affecting another part of your well-being, too. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model for therapy, and each problem and each person has a unique need and solution. To get technical, I tend to use therapeutic models including CBT, Solution-Focused, and Humanistic, as well as Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Gottman Style Therapy for relationship work. If you're looking for a therapist who can support you, see you holistically, but also be honest and challenge you, and you aren't afraid to put in some work to reach your goals, then we may be a great therapeutic match. I hope to talk with you soon!
