Are Sunday evenings a struggle because your child dreads going to school on Monday? Are you concerned about how your child is adjusting to a separation or loss? Is your child hard on themselves? Are you plagued with self-doubt yourseld? I can help. I specialize with ADHD, anxiety, self esteem,and infertility. I've been told that I'm warm, easy to talk to and "real". Still, I'm not afraid to call out my clients if I notice that they are engaging in unhealthy behaviors (in a gentle way of course). My clients tell me they appreciate this about me, as they don't just want someone who simply listens and nods.

I have a strong
cognitive
behavioral background from my graduate training; however, I find it necessary to integrate other modalities into my practice to fit the individual.
I work with clients in my private practice, who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems, however, there are times in our lives when we need assistance. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. I provide a safe environment for clients to explore their life path and integrate wellness with the necessary aspects of change.

Hi! My name is Stephanie Morton and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. My approach to therapy is conducted from a person-centered perspective to give each individual the feeling of being in control of their journey.

My approach to therapy utilizes aspects of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT),
cognitive
behavioral therapy (
CBT
) and solution-focused modalities, tailored to each client's individual needs and goals.
My practice focus includes adults (18+) struggling with anxiety, depression, loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, disordered eating, relationship issues, and a desire to develop more effective ways to cope. Life comes with many unanticipated challenges that can leave us feeling stuck, resulting in feelings of anxiety, depression, shame, guilt and overwhelm. Without effective coping skills, this can lead us to deal with stress in ways that only lead to more stress. I fully understand these challenges, and you are not alone. We can work together to help you feel like yourself again.

Thanks for reading my introduction. In the 30 years I’ve been both a licensed clinical psychologist and a professor I’ve specialized in the well-being of those who identify as African-Americans or Black, and they are the majority of my practice. I am especially interested in Black men’s development. I see “living the good life while Black” as a feat of multitasking. It is not enough to pursue the good life successfully, and all it entails—good health, inner peace, a fulfilling love life, a family that gets along, and an occupation that brings satisfaction and success. On top of that, Black people must

Behavioral, Integrative Therapy and Christian counseling.
I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - Therapy is most valuable when a person feels seen, heard, and understood. I know the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for that to happen with my clients. I view the success of the counseling encounter as the result of a joint commitment to a collaborative relationship between myself and the client while they are on their journey to growth, healing, and positive change. It is my mission to help bring about that positive change for those I have the privilege to work with.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario (catastrophizing) or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
