Hi there, and welcome— If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of worry, or weighed down by sadness, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Reaching out is a powerful first step, and I’m really glad you’re here. I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety and depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical and evidence-based approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be holding you back and develop tools you can actually use in your daily life to feel more balanced, confident, and in control. My approach is supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be honest, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace. Whether you’re dealing with constant worry, low motivation, stress, or just feeling “off,” we can work together to create a path forward that feels right for you. We can communicate through messaging, live chat, phone, or video sessions—whatever feels most comfortable for you. You deserve to feel better—and change is absolutely possible. If you’re ready, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

Find a therapist near you in Catawba, North Carolina

Finding a therapist near you in Catawba, North Carolina starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. North Carolina is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In North Carolina, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across North Carolina, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in North Carolina

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
