Reality Therapy in Ayden, NC
My approach to therapy relies primarily on a person-centered approach that draws on CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy.
Do you experience depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship challenges, or trauma? Do you tend to feel lonely, hopeless, sad, angry, empty, tense, or stuck? Sometimes, when we feel that way, the thought of telling another human about it might be uncomfortable. I offer a safe space in which you can talk freely, without judgment. I work from a collaborative, accepting, and compassionate perspective, which means your needs and wants are always considered and respected.

Sometimes you need more than someone who is outside the situation who can hear what is going on and be a neutral voice. Sometimes you need more than someone who can tell you when it’s time to seek medication or give physiological education. Sometimes you need a spiritual leader, a guide, a prayer warrior, and someone to remind you when to slow down and give it to God and walk with you in the process of giving it over, showing you how, and reminding you, even teaching you how not to pick it back up. If that’s what you are looking for then you’ve come to the right place.

Challenges are inevitable, but defeat is optional. As professionals, sometimes it’s easy to feel hopeless & ignore difficulties in our relationships at work or at home. It's hard to ask for help when it seems no one is willing & when you’re used to getting things done on your own; but stress, exhaustion, burnout, weight gain, & other negative effects of inadequate or unhealthy coping are real & can have major consequences. Don't face challenges alone. If you can't change your experiences, you can learn how to cope with them. As a trusted professional, I want to help. Well-being, peace, & life satisfaction is within reach.

Is reality therapy evidence-based?
Reality therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapies. However, some research does indicate that reality therapy might be helpful for people with addiction, and may be effective in treating social anxiety in young people.
How long does reality therapy last?
Reality therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Reality therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of reality therapy long after treatment has ended.
Does reality therapy work?
Reality therapy can help a person manage concerns such as eating disorders, addiction, substance use, anxiety, phobias, and relationship difficulties. This type of therapy encourages a person to be accountable for their behaviors. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure. Reality therapy can be useful in one-on-one therapy or in group sessions. This method may be used with children, families, and adults.
What are the limitations of reality therapy?
This therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the therapist focuses on choices made by the individual in the present day. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over others. This format may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every client.
