Teletherapy for Wilmington, NC

Have you ever avoided emotions because they’re uncomfortable? Have you ever had to face consequences for choices you made to survive? Do you feel like you’re repeatedly making poor decisions and you’re not sure why? Humans don’t like discomfort, and without training ourselves to deal with discomfort - we will do anything to get out of it. We will work on building self-confidence and trust in yourself. Having confidence to say no, feel emotions, connect your mind and body, find your purpose and be able to heal and break free from trauma. We will spend time learning, regulating, and connecting our emotions to FEEL. DEAL. and HEAL.

Feeling misunderstood and unloved by those closest to us is living hell. Pain, hopelessness, and anger burrow deep as repair seems impossible. It's exhausting to cope with past trauma while trying to keep things together in the present. Any added stress, anxiety, or depression is overwhelming. Those of you with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are struggling with these symptoms simultaneously and it's unbearable. I specialize in relationship repair and borderline personality disorder. In family, individual, or marriage counseling I can help you heal, connect, and once again find hope.

I specialize in assisting individuals with honoring their most authentic selves as well as navigating some of life’s toughest transitions. As individuals, we are constantly going through transitions whether its welcomed or unwelcomed. Transitions can influence emotional distress and have you questioning your values in life. I can help clients with identifying important values, instilling boundaries, and honoring your most authentic self. I enjoy collaborative and client centered sessions where we both are active participants in the client’s overall wellbeing.

I specialize in treating relationships. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples and families seeking fulfilling, peaceful lives. The majority of clients are individuals and couples seeking answers to have better, more meaningful relationships. Therapy starts withy understanding current struggles in a "systems" framework. We look at patterns; of affection, conflict, repair, relating, reacting. Common issues include: communication, infidelity, feeling a lack of respect, divorce, parent/child discord, and relational harmony goals. Therapy is provided with warmth, thoughtfulness and empathy.

As a Clinical Trauma therapist, I know the choice to begin treatment takes courage & purpose & I am committed to providing Safety & Stabilization, processing your traumatic memories and making meaning for self. As well as developing sense of personal & relational integrity and well-being. My practice is rooted in genuineness, desire and a core belief that the human life force is resilient and giving. To get the most out of your TX I need you to approach therapy esp. if you're suffering from trauma, as a collective effort being open and honest about your TX plan/goals.

What do most people want? We want peace in the valley! In our relationships, in ourselves. As we move through life, we undoubtedly will experience resistance from others, or have circumstances that catch us off guard and shake our confidence. Anxiety, fear and depression move in, and past failures can have us feeling trapped. Resignation and cynicism zap our energy and happiness. We know there is a better way, but we just can’t seem to find it. In my sessions with you, we will identify and focus on ways to navigate these challenges to restore what has gone missing in your life.

My approach to the collaborative effort of psychotherapy is influenced by structural/strategic family systems theory, informing the process of joining with clients to clarify their roles in relationship, family, and community. Creative engagement in experiential learning assists individuals, couples, and families in gaining a fresh perspective through focused work that brings lasting results. I endeavor, in every client relationship, to de-mystify the daunting prospect of change, empowering personal choice in difficult circumstances through guided self-exploration.

Hi.My goal is to help you grow, to find more peace, more joy, & create more ease in your relationships; with you, others & your world. Clients come to me due to anxiety, fears, discomfort, uncertainty about the past, present & future. Some feel stuck, others hard to accept or simply a need for change, movement, healing, evolution. I understand that it's super difficult to figure out the HOW when we are caught up in life's challenges. I will hold up a mirror to you and life. Together we will cultivate Trust and Clarity. You will learn tools. As you practice, your life will gently unfold and you will create the life you desire.

Are you feeling like your life and/or your relationship is falling apart? That no matter how hard you try to be strong on the outside, on the inside you are feeling scared and anxious. Hi, I’m Rebecca, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and licensed clinical addictions specialist. I help individuals using a strengths-based approach to meet you where you are, as well as help couples utilizing the Gottman method of relationship counseling, the most researched and effective couples counseling. My specialties include marriage counseling, couples therapy, and individuals with addiction issues, anxiety and depression.

Get unstuck. Whether you need couples counseling or one-on-one for anxiety, make your time and money count. I see couples for premarital work and those in conflict. Culturally, we are taught to be critical—to scan our environment for flaws and errors, to assign blame, and to exercise “critical thinking.” We look outward because we are connected to the world with our eyes and ears, so couples in crisis often come to therapy with this mindset: “It is the other’s fault, and they need to change.” Will staying stuck in this mindset serve the relationship you want, or the one you have? You choose.

Many people find themselves struggling to maintain balance during adjustment or following a traumatic event. Life circumstances and experiences often cloud our vision. We may feel confused, lost, or broken in making the best decisions for ourselves. We need a safe space to ground our energy and find stillness. I am a licensed clinical social worker who takes a person centered approach to therapy. This means I believe every person already has what they need to reach their full potential and live their best life. I meet you where you are and we work together to lift the clouds that are blocking you from the life you deserve.

Often times people come to therapy due to feeling excessive stress at work, at home, or in their relationships. They find the pressures of every day life have exceeded their abilities, overwhelmed their senses, and left them with an inability to cope. They are often having problems going to school, completing tasks, getting along with others at work, and finding activities enjoyable resulting in low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or other symptoms. Families often report not being able to get along or feeling overwhelmed with parenting a child that is having behavioral problems. They know they need to make a change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I have worked for 20 years in mental health, addiction, and disability services with people of all ages in home, community, inpatient, and office settings. Clients contact me with a variety of needs. Some have never been in therapy or have had negative experiences with therapists, whom they feel didn't adequately address their needs. I strive to provide a safe atmosphere of empathy and compassion where you can finally feel accepted and heard. I offer tools, coping skills, and resources to help you tackle current challenges and meet your goals.

Anxiety and depression can be overwhelming and interfere with reaching your highest potential in all areas of your life. It’s incredibly uncomfortable to feel your heart and mind race or to have shortness of breath. You worry about when a panic attack will happen again and the worry makes matters even worse. You just want to slow your mind down and quit thinking. Your relationships and work performance may be suffering as you lie in bed dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. You've tried everything to control your thoughts and feelings but can't.

I am passionate about working with all teens through adults struggling with life cycle changes, role obligations, school/work transitions, anxiety, depression, family issues, performance anxiety, communication struggles, emotional regulation, self-esteem, or anger management. If you ever have felt like “adulting” is too much, that life feels unbalanced, or that you are in a perpetual state of exhaustion, we can start by working together to find out what balance looks like for you. I am also a member of, and I am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ population and addressing concerns specific to that population.

Taking care of ourselves physically, emotionally and socially is my top priority. Let's figure out what's making life a challenge for you and find a way to cope with it. I specialize in creating personalized plans and providing tools to guide you forward and achieve your desired goals. I have earned certificates in Applied Behavioral Analysis, Health Psychology and Nutritional Psychology and we will look at you as the "total package".

The most helpful psychotherapy is a collaborative respectful relationship that honors your innate healing abilities. I will create a safe space for you to explore situations that are currently hindering you from living the life you desire. These might include past or recent traumatic experiences, behaviors that feel compulsive and/or harmful, life transitions, societal pressures, or the desire to "have it all together." Sometimes we seek relief in the wrong places which leaves us emotionally burnt out and seeking answers externally when the key to change is within.
