I use a person-centered, solution focused approach along with motivational interviewing, and believe that each individual circumstance has its own recipe for success, which includes a high level of trust and rapport between client and therapist. Most people find me to be extremely empathetic, pragmatic, nonjudgmental, and eternally hopeful.

Empowering People and Inspiring Hope This phrase best describes my method and approach that I take in my counseling practice. As a therapist, I am rewarded each day with challenges and an internal feeling of gratitude to be able to inspire hope, provide a renewed purpose and a greater sense of self in their personal journey of life. The life changing moment is when that person discovers their own inner strengths, faith and resiliency to thrive in the midst of their struggle. This promotes a sense of hope and strength which empowers the person to find the tools to work though or overcome a problematic situation. My practice would be most suitable for those struggling with: Low self-esteem Stress Anxiety Feeling overwhelmed Depressed Phase of life issues, Spiritual faith challenges If you’re seeking to rebuild your inner strength, sense of confidence and cultivate the life you’ve always wanted, then I would love to be given the opportunity to assist you towards your goals. My therapeutic technique is Person centered and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Fusing together my spiritual beliefs, faith, professional skills, personal experience and passion describes my method and practice with the clients that I serve. I am not a spiritual counselor but my faith and counseling training has enabled me to be an effective counselor to help people whether they are in or out of a church or religion. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 25 years in a community setting with various populations. I have dedicated much of my professional practice and community work to helping others to fulfill their dream, achieve their goals and improve the overall welfare of individuals, families and the community as a whole. I appreciate the opportunity to partner with you and assist you in your life's journey!

Find a therapist near you in Buchanan, Georgia

Finding a therapist near you in Buchanan, Georgia starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Georgia 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 Georgia, 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 Georgia, 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.

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