Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Lincolnton, NC

Hello! My name is Takesha Briggins and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I have been a professional counselor for 12 years and have worked in a variety of settings with diverse populations. I have worked with adolescents in schools, adults in community settings, and families as an intensive in-home clinician. I am passionate about helping others navigate through issues related to anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, mindfulness, self compassion, academia, and career to name a few.

Life is a journey that is cultivated by various experiences that may put you in a place facing depression, anxiety and other forms of mental illness that may seem to be unbearable. My approach to counseling is driven by a strength based perspective. I look forward to assisting you through emotional processing by tapping into your personal inner strength of resilience to carry you through this journey which is most often referred to as life itself.

Hello and welcome! I understand how difficult it is to ask for help. My goal is to create a safe space for you to be you- to just be human.

I offer acceptance. I believe we all heal through connection. I am here to support you through your individual journey- whatever that looks like. We can lay the burdens down together. You are not alone.

I have been successfully treating clients in therapy for over twenty years. The clients I work with prior to enrolling in treatment express that they feel frustrated, ignored and helpless.

I'm very proactive in my person centered approach.

You just want to feel better but there are parts of you that keep you in this vicious cycle of negative beliefs, self-doubt, unproductive patterns, and overthinking. You may feel ashamed and alone as you’re faced with challenges and uncertainties at home, work, or in your relationships. Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of your emotional pain from an unhappy childhood, stressful life experience, distressing memories, and/or unresolved issues. You are tired of living this way and you are ready to develop more compassion and empowerment to support yourself so that you can start feeling better, lighter, and more free.

I believe that each individual is unique; therefore, my approach will be based on my assessment of your individual needs. My approach to counseling helps clients examine and understand the connections between thoughts, feelings and behavior choices. I work with clients to specify goals and develop a plan to create positive change in client’s lives.
