Greetings, to better serve you, please get in touch with me via email. Just hit the Email Me button. Looking forward to connecting. Welcome. I am LinTiya McCleary, LPC, LCMHC, Love & Light Counseling owner. Living in a society where you live by everyone's standards except your own is mentally debilitating. You may be anxiously trying to be accepted into a society that looks negatively on your values. You may be depressed by constantly seeking validation. Your personality may be enticed by distorted thinking, and you may be facing an identity crisis. No matter your challenge, you have found someone who can help you be your true self.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment, where you can openly express yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, adjustment disorders, and ADHD to name a few. I practice using holistic therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and other modalities that will be tailored to your needs.
I am a "people-first " counselor who offers a space for you to be you. I am compassionate about helping people and promoting mental well-being. I hope that you will allow me to walk with you on your journey to be the best version of yourself. I offer telehealth counseling services through Headway, Rula, & SimplePractice. License Numbers NC: 18716 SC: 9062

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement afterward.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Talk Therapy. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
