Hi and welcome to BetterHelp! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LISW-CP, or Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice, in the state of South Carolina) and a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers. I have over twenty years of experience working extensively in outpatient mental health settings providing services to children, adolescents, families, and adults who are experiencing a wide range of mental health issues from adjustment disorders to serious and persistent mental illness. I also have significant experience and expertise in the areas of intimacy problems and sexual disorders; it is my belief that every adult has a right to a fulfilling and healthy sex life, and as such, it is a crucial component of our identities that may be discounted or overlooked in assessments of our emotional and physical well-being. I have worked successfully with individuals experiencing many types of these particular concerns, from compulsive sexual behavior and pornography addiction to painful intercourse and sexual dissatisfaction. I am a Fellow of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, an international organization aimed at prevention of sexual abuse and the treatment of/research on those who abuse. With me, you will find no judgment or awkward pauses about whatever issues you are experiencing! Additionally, I have worked with countless survivors of sexual abuse and other traumas and am a nationally rostered trauma clinician; I have significant experience working with those managing PTSD, depression, and relationship/intimacy issues as a result of past sexual trauma or interpersonal violence. With my diverse clinical background and easy-going but caring, concerned, and direct style, I am confident that no matter what is troubling you, we can work together to ensure you become your best self! Although I utilize a variety of approaches depending on the issues and needs of those with whom I am working, I tend to rely most on two core theoretical frameworks. I often approach therapy from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, which entails (to put it simply) looking at thoughts and feelings and how they result in behaviors. When experiencing difficulty in your life, it is very likely that underlying faulty core beliefs are keeping you from achieving the emotional health and stability you desire; therefore, we will work on reframing and restructuring your negative thoughts and patterns into more positive, adaptive ones. In addition, I utilize a systems approach in conceptualizing your issues; in doing so, we will look at your role in each of the systems in which you interact to facilitate change. By gaining insight into the system of overlapping and intertwining relationships (i.e., the systems) in your life, you will reach a better understanding of your patterns of behavior and how to change those that are not working for you. No matter how we approach your identified needs, know that I am very passionate about my work helping others and it is my goal to provide you a therapy experience where you will feel heard, respected, and valued. Your feedback is crucial to our therapeutic relationship and remember, you are the key to your own success! I simply am going to help you open the door. I look forward to exploring the ways in which I can assist you in attaining your goals. Let’s get started today—you can do this!! And I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Hi! I am glad you are here! My name is Lynne and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years. My experience has included working with a vast array of people challenged by life situations and experiencing anxiety, depression, problems with substance abuse, trauma, grief and loss just to name a few. It is my belief that if suffering and uncertainty are inherent in our humanness, so too is joy, growth and the ability to heal through connectedness. People often seek therapy having exhausted their own internal resources trying to feel better. They may also believe they have exhausted their loved ones with their own self-doubt, sadness or shame. Or one may be experiencing a more vague yet persistent sense of being overwhelmed or numb and disconnected. If anxiety, sadness, irritability, anger or grief is impacting your quality of life; or, if you have been managing uncomfortable emotions with substances and questioning your relationship with alcohol or drugs, I’d like to help. I offer my clients the opportunity to explore who they are, who they want to be, and importantly, a partnership in forging the path toward healing and change.

I am licensed in South Carolina with 20+ years of professional work experience. I often work with people who find themselves at a crossroads. In those moments, you may be feeling depressed, unhappy, overwhelmed, bored, anxious, or “stuck” and are looking to break free from your present experience. My practice is focused on helping people find a renewed sense of meaning and empowerment in their lives. Initially, we may work on relieving your presenting symptoms by exploring new perspectives and through the use of helpful exercises, however, the core of my work has an eye towards deeper and more meaningful change. The day-to-day stressors of everyday life, coupled with our past experiences, lead all of us to live life largely unaware of the vast psychodramas playing out beneath the surface. We will explore these inner dimensions and callings so that you may engage with life in more meaningful ways.

Hi! I'm LaTanya. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in NC, SC, and VA. As a systemic therapist, I empathize with the struggles of individuals, couples, and families as they strive to strengthen their relationships with themselves and with those who matter most to them. I provide individual therapy for a diverse range of issues. Whether it's childhood or relational trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or challenges in adjusting to life transitions, I am here to support you. I also work with couples struggling to connect in their relationships and marriages—couples who find themselves at odds more often than not, who feel they're always in conflict, and are unable to communicate without arguing. Those who feel disconnected in their marriage and want to increase their friendship, intimacy, fondness, and admiration for one another. I also support couples who feel stuck trying to move forward following an experience with infidelity or betrayal. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel free to be yourself, be present in your mind and body, and actively participate in your healing journey. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!
