When it comes to finding the right therapist, Raleigh, NC can seem like an optimal spot. But even in a populous city, it’s not always so simple to find mental health services. There are a number of therapeutic approaches in the mental health field, and each may be more or less effective on different mental health conditions. What you personally need in counseling services may not be available in your area. In addition, it’s essential to consider the importance of therapeutic alliance. For therapy to be successful, you need to feel comfortable speaking with your therapist.
When in Raleigh, find therapists through online therapy platforms like BetterHelp to streamline the process. BetterHelp offers over 30,000 mental health care providers, with professional experience in treating everything from panic attacks to post-traumatic stress disorder. By filling out an online questionnaire, you’ll be matched with a therapist that meets your needs. If you don’t feel a connection with your chosen therapist, you can switch at no additional cost. It’s also easy to fit appointments into a busy schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can attend your therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home or office.
Mental health care is important for all ages, and therapists can provide support as well as offer a number of tools to help shift you into a more positive mindset. While mental health is one of the more popular searches online, it’s not always easy to take that first step. Simplify the process by reaching out to one of the licensed providers at BetterHelp, and get started on the path toward mental health and wellness.

Judy McLaughlin
Hi, I am Judy. I am so excited about the opportunity to support you here on betterhelp. I have worked as a therapist for over 23 years with experience in individual and family therapy. I have experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a broad range of clinical issues. I have the most experience working with anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anger management, family conflict, relationship conflicts, and complex trauma/abuse. I also have experience working with depression, intellectual/developmental disabilities, mild autism, and substance abuse issues. I use a person-centered, holistic, eclectic approach in treatment, meaning I begin where you are and focus the treatment approached to your needs while ensuring the therapeutic relationship is built to impact the best possible outcome for your counseling experience. I primarily use evidence based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling. However, I do incorporate more other approaches to counseling as well. I would describe my counseling approach client focused and supportive, but I am ready to help you tackle the obstacles you face in the most direct way possible. Together we can work on establishing goals and steps for you to help overcome your current problems. Living your best life is like preparing for a marathon, not a sprint. If you are looking for quick fixes, I am not the best counselor to work with. I believe in taking time and working on wellness slowly, holistically, and consistently. Just as physical health takes time and consistency, so does mental health! I look forward to helping you in any way I can! I truly value the therapeutic relationship and hope to help guide you through the concerns and issues that you are facing. I believe that the most important part of therapy is a trusting relationship with a goal oriented focus I look forward to getting to know you and exploring options and opportunities together.

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.

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.

Sabrina Howell
I believe that the counseling process is based on a collaborative relationship between the counselor and client. I see our counseling relationship as one in which you are in charge of setting your own goals and I am privileged to companion you through that process. My approach to therapy is a holistic one: we will discuss your goals from many perspectives and examine the effects on your body, mind, spirit, relationships, work, and any other areas that are important to you. I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused theories of counseling. I work with adults individually and as couples. I am a trained TFCBT therapist and help children and families deal with trauma. I help clients explore the life moments where they feel “stuck” in their journey. Some of the symptoms that show up with the “stuck” feeling are panic, anxiety, and depression. Your decision to choose to enter counseling is a voluntary one and you may terminate it at any time. If at some point ethical standards dictate it is in your best interest to refer you to another therapist, I will do so. If this happens I would provide you with names of professionals to contact. It is impossible to guarantee any specific results regarding your counseling goals, but we will work together to achieve the best results possible. At the end of our first session we will decide if we want to enter a counseling relationship. I will respond to message typically one time per day Monday - Saturday. This will occur typically after 5:00 p.m. EST.
