Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Wilson, NC

Sometimes we feel stuck. Grief, anxiety, depression, and health issues can overwhelm you and make everyday life feel like you are spinning your wheels. Are you wanting to gain some traction to start healing? Are you ready for change? Are you looking for the next steps to living your best life? I have been in the field of clinical social work for 30 years using several modalities to help individuals make change in their lives. I use a holistic approach that looks at how we treat our bodies, what thoughts we have, how we connect to others, and how we connect to the universe.

My name is Jessie Smith, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina. I have experience working with adults, adults with SPMI, adolescents, and families seeking support to overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, parenting issues, anger, self-esteem, codependency, and other challenges that arise in life. I earned a Bachelor's and Master of Social Work from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and their families to support them in learning skills and processing events to improve their quality of life.

This life is hard! Are you or your child feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed? Struggling with daily tasks at school, home, or work? Living with ADHD, anxiety/fears, OCD, trauma, or a mood disorder (depression, bipolar disorder)? Going through a difficult transition (e.g. starting college, adjusting adulthood)? You don't have to face these challenges alone - I'm here to help. Work with me to gain personal insight, learn coping strategies, build resilience, and realize your strengths. Together, we can find a way toward a happier and more balanced life.

Do you feel broken? Lost? No clear direction? You are not alone. Let me help. My desire is to create an atmosphere where patients feel comfortable to share their lives without fear of judgment. I meet people where they are, in their brokenness, and work with the patient to develop goals that will help them achieve a happier, healthier lifestyle. I utilize a holistic approach and assist patients in recognizing the connection between the mind, body, and spirit.

My name is Dawn Clark, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 27 years of clinical experience. My primary focal point is adults and couples with Anxiety, Depression, Women's Issues, Sexual Orientation, Trauma, and PTSD. I focus on helping and encouraging individuals., not treating a disorder. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Trauma Focused, Coaching, Couples Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapies during treatments with my clients. I believe that I am very direct and open-minded, and no one should ever feel out of place in a relationship.

I am closing my practice in Rocky Mt on Oct 1. I will be joining a practice in Durham in November. But when people are unhappy or anxious or distressed, they sometimes consider consulting a psychologist. I am not so concerned about finding a label for you as I am about helping you to find a way to enjoy your life and your relationships and be productive in a way that you find satisfying. I seek an approach that fits your problem and situation, and that may be insight-oriented, cognitive behavioral, using hypnosis or simply supportive, as we explore together, at a pace you are comfortable with, your goals and concerns.

Thank you for visiting my page. I know that finding the right counselor can be a challenge and I hope you will find information on this page to help you feel more comfortable and confident in making that decision. Since 2002 I've been helping people enhance the quality of their lives through the use of sound therapeutic interventions including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Redecision Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy, Reality Therapy and Imago Therapy. I am a perpetual student of personal and professional development and I provide education and tools in proven techniques.

Angry kid? Depressed teen girl? Anxious and overwhelmed college student or young professional? Busy mom? Helper or a healer in need of your own support? No matter what stage of life you are in, I can help you work through your problems and develop the skills you need to live the life you desire. I help angry kids and depressed teen girls find healthy ways to process and manage their feelings. Anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed women will learn how to manage stress and reduce symptoms. Stressed out parents will get along better with their kids. Helpers and healers will refill their own cups so they can continue pouring into others.

Humans will be human. This can come with worry, pain, joy, and an infinite spectrum of emotions in between. Maybe life has presented challenges to you, your family, or your relationship that feel overwhelming to navigate alone. Maybe there is a generational pattern that you wish to shift. You are not alone! I work with kids (8 and up), teens, adult individuals, and couples around connecting to their identity including racial trauma and stress, self-esteem, life transitions, addressing complex patterns and dynamics, and with those processing childhood trauma. I am accepting weekly and biweekly clients between the hours of 2-7p.

I believe in order to have total healing and complete growth, individuals must focus on treating all parts of themselves as a whole. This holistic approach includes looking within and at all areas of one's life (physical, mental, emotional, spirtual, etc.) I provide consultations and counseling/psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults and advocates. My main therapeutic approaches are Holistic and Cognitive-Behavioral. However, the therapeutic approach chosen will be client centered and problem focused on the issues experienced by the client to assist the client in reaching the most favorable outcomes, growth and healing.

If you've had difficulty finding therapy that is effective, you may want to consider working with a specialist. Traumatic or adverse life experiences may lead to a myriad of psychological and physiological symptoms.

Hello! I'm Melissa, the Counselor who works in the Goldsboro office of Clark Christian Counseling!

Therapy is a gift. It offers a chance to be truly heard, understood, and supported. I am deeply passionate about providing therapeutic services to families, children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 5 to 26), as well as their caregivers. With over 13 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, parent-child relationship issues, social struggles, gender identity development, end-of-life issues, grief, and behavioral challenges.

To quote Maya Angelou, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." I believe that you deserve to be heard, and I will work to create that safe place for you. Free of judgement and full of empathy. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, negative thoughts about yourself or others, your relationship with yourself, or your relationship with those around you, I want to help you. My goal is not to fix you-you are not broken. Instead, my goal is to empower you. Guide you to a place of healing where you are confident in your abilities to cope with the things you struggle with most.

Can we agree that sometimes life has a way of lifing and knocking us off balance. Reaching out to find a therapist can be daunting and often times the first step you take. Congratulations in taking that first step! I have experience working with individuals and families (ages 5+) with all manners of mental health diagnosis and external stressors especially past and current traumatic experiences, depression, anxiety, grief, stress, life adjustments, anger management, and oppositional behaviors.

Now Accepting Clients - Welcome! You have made the first big step in taking control of your mental health by simply searching. This is big, and you should be so proud of yourself for starting this journey! As a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 10 years of experience, I would be honored to join you, and walk along side you as you lean into exploration and restoration. Life can be hard, but even when it doesn't seem possible, you can do difficult and amazing things.

My theory of counseling is that people have specific behaviors they would like to change, which are caused by our irrational, self-defeating beliefs learned from earlier life experiences. My goal will be to assist with changing undesired behaviors and circumstances. Counseling is a personal exploration that leads to major changes in your life perspectives and decisions. These changes may affect significant relationships and understanding of yourself. Some of these life changes could be temporarily distressing. Together we will work to achieve the best possible results for you.
