Kind. Supportive. Caring. I was once asked, "How can you help people with their issues if you've been sad or upset?" I smiled and responded, "The same way a medical doctor helps patients who are sick; with thoughtfulness and integrity." I am not immune from life's challenges because I am a therapist. I believe that life experiences have helped me become more compassionate toward people who are hurting. My education, training, and professional expertise provide the tools for me to counsel individuals and families. It is such an honor to support and counsel my clients as they move through their healing process.

Mary Harbin
For over 25 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adults as they navigate the most challenging chapters of their lives. With 21 years spent as a Community Support Specialist and nearly 5 years as a Therapist, I have a deep, practical understanding of what it takes to find stability and joy when facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, mood incongruities, and psychosis. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but more importantly, I’m a human who believes that healing happens through connection and that therapy should be more than just a conversation—it should be a catalyst for hope. My approach is warm, active, and deeply rooted in the belief that no one is defined by their diagnosis. By blending the practical 'how-to' of CBT and DBT with the transformative power of EMDR, we can work together to clear the mental clutter and process the past. My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen and energized. You have been resilient for so long on your own; let’s shift the focus from simply ‘getting by’ to creating a life that feels hopeful and truly yours. I’d love to hear your story. Reach out for a free consultation, and let’s talk about how we can start moving things forward together.

Karmen Story
As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I am passionate about helping people move beyond simply surviving and begin thriving! I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, challenged, empowered to create meaningful change in your life, and did I say feel seen?! :-) My therapeutic style is warm, engaging and genuinely curious. I strive to create an environment where people feel comfortable letting their hair down while exploring thoughts, emotions and experiences that may be keeping them stuck. I was born to yap, but value the art of listening, asking thoughtful questions and helping people gain clarity, confidence and a renewed sense of direction. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy (CPT). Together, we'll identify patterns that no longer serve you, challenge limiting beliefs and develop practical strategies that help you move towards your goals. I believe therapy is about discovering solutions, building confidence and creating a life that feels aligned with who you are and who you want to become. My goal is for every person to leave sessions feeling heard, encouraged and equipped with tools they can use long after our conversations ends.

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.

In Alabama, 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 Alabama, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
