I am a licensed psychologist in the states of Pennsylvania and North Carolina as well as having been certified as a Clinical Telemental Health Provider. I was trained in a Clinical Psychology program that included a module in Decision Analysis that allows me to address both clinical as well as life issues in terms of the choices made by my clients. In my career, I have worked in different settings such as schools, mental health clinics, psychiatric units, group practices, consultation and training for government and the private sector, and solo practice. Recently, I have been devoting most of my time helping the military and their families at military posts of all the branches of service. I follow an Ethics of Respect in which the client always defines the problem, and not the professional. In this approach, the decision to start the counseling, how long it lasts, and when it ends, is always in the client's hands, although I don't hesitate to voice my opinion at those times when I believe it would be beneficial to continue, but always respectful of the choice if my client disagrees with that suggestion.

I am a Licensed Clinical Addition Specialist and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina. I received a Master of Science in Substance Abuse and Clinical Counseling from East Carolina University in 2013. Over the past 9 years, I have worked in a variety of settings with individuals and couples struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, mood disorders, grief, self-esteem issues and relationship issues. In the counseling process I utilize Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I use a person centered approach with the understanding that you know yourself and what you need better than anyone even if you are unaware of this at the present moment. We can work as a team to help you find your answers and help you reach your goals. I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the counseling process. I am a firm believer that our thoughts and beliefs can direct our emotional wellness in a positive or negative direction. In some cases, the thoughts and beliefs we develop throughout life are inaccurate or even irrational. I believe that I can offer assistance in helping a person challenge irrational or automatic, negative thoughts that worsen depression, anxiety and other emotional challenges. I believe we do have the ability to identify, challenge and change thoughts that do not serve us well. We can create healthy and realistic thoughts that promote mental wellness. I truly love sharing this information with people because I have seen it work wonders in both myself and others. Also, I would like you to know that acceptance is paramount to me. I love working with all types of people. I believe my clients would say I have a warm, accepting and laid back personality. I want people to feel accepted no matter what they say, think or have experienced. I want people to feel they can tell me anything without the fear of judgement. Non-judgement is one of my strengths. It is important to feel you can tell your therapist anything without fear of judgement. You can find that with me. Please let me know if you have questions about me or think we would work well together.

Hello! Thanks for choosing my profile. Allow me to provide you with some important information about my background. I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina as well a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I have over 7 years of counseling experience working in many community agencies as a counselor. During my time as a counselor, I have provided individual, couple, and family counseling in a private practice via telehealth. I provided individual, group, and family counseling services to adults of all ages. I desire to provide counseling services to adults and families without regard to family composition, gender, marital status, race, religion, or sexual orientation. I aim to create an environment conducive to building a healthy therapeutic relationship. It is my goal to assist you through the counseling journey of forgiveness, self-acceptance, self-awareness, and self-love. My overall theoretical approach to counseling is existential in nature. I believe when individuals become fully aware of “self”, they can recognize and reach their full potential in life. In addition, I incorporate techniques from cognitive behavior therapy, Gestalt therapy, person-centered therapy, reality therapy, and solution focused therapy into my sessions. I look forward to working with you!

Hi, I am Julie. I am a Texas licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience in counseling and wellness. My motivation to become a counselor stemmed from personal hardships of being a young single mother who had to raise my children while managing school and work at the same time. There was lots of stress, anxiety, and fear of not being able to do it all and striving to be the best. Fortunately I have help from a wonderful counselor. So I’d like to pay forward and use the skills I have learned from my personal experiences and professional education to help you navigate life challenges, whether it is wellness and self-care, work-life integration, anxiety and stress, relationship building, grief and loss, and other challenges. During my career, I have had the pleasure to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds. As a counselor, I believe that working together to develop skills to deal with any challenges is important. I implement a personalized approach by leveraging your personal strength combined with complementary techniques including mindfulness and wellness, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy so that you can adapt, build resilience, and enjoy life as you deserve.

Each type of therapy can offer various benefits and address or treat different disorders. If you're still unsure or are new to counseling in Momeyer, feel free to contact the provider via email to find out which methods they practice.

It is also important to understand that mental health professionals in the United States are accredited to provide care, helping individuals and couples, with a variety of licenses. These include licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), and clinical psychologist or doctor of psychology (PsyD). Regardless of their licensure, they are trained to treat individuals and couples counseling, and sometimes children, in any type of therapy. Find a therapist under any of these distinctions and know that the sessions they offer can provide a safe place to heal.

Mental health professionals working through their own in- person therapy practice in Momeyer or online may assist clients in improving healthy relationships, communication skills, working through life transitions, managing a mood disorder, improving coping skills, or change in negative thinking patterns. They may also provide a safe place and validation for clients experiencing emotional pain.

  • CBT
  • DBT
  • Substance use therapy
  • Couples therapy

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Momeyer area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Momeyer therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Momeyer due to a higher cost of living. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Momeyer may not take health insurance, some in the state of North Carolina may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With BetterHelp or clinicians throughout the state of North Carolina you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How is a licensed therapist on this online therapy platform verified?

Therapists in Momeyer, North Carolina working on BetterHelp are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited as a doctor of psychology (PhD / PsyD), licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW / LICSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All of these psychology clinicians have a Masters Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field of psychology sciences, and follow the APA Code of Ethics. They have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, they all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy. 

Please note BetterHelp does not offer or provide care from psychiatrists to prescribe a drug as treatment, or perform psychological assessments.

How does working with a counselor in BetterHelp online therapy sessions work?

BetterHelp clinicians treat clients online across the United States (individuals and couples) through life transitions, inner child exploration, long term depression or anxiety, and more. An online mental health professional, including the therapists in Momeyer above, can work with young adults, children, adolescents, and adults virtually as an accredited licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) or licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). You do not have to commute to a an office as a psychotherapy client.

Through BetterHelp therapy, you can partake in video, phone, or live chat therapy sessions with your licensed therapist. You can work through various symptoms, use the in app journaling feature, and receive worksheets. You'll also find support groups or group therapy lead by a therapist in Momeyer helping individuals on topics including managing life transitions, symptoms affecting sexual health, behavioral health, coping skills for anxiety or depression, trauma, stress, marriage counseling, and more. 

What mental health issues can psychotherapy address?

BetterHelp's verified Momeyer therapists specialize and have clinical experience in a wide range of mental health issues and modalities, helping clients to feel better and improve their lives every day. See below for examples.

Specialties on BetterHelp include:

You may also be struggling with relationship problems that could be addressed in couples therapy or with a sex therapist. In that case, you may choose to work with one of BetterHelp's experienced cognitive-behavioral therapists or licensed marriage family therapists (LMFT) who work with clients in relationships. You can also try a Momeyer therapy provider through BetterHelp's sister platform, ReGain, which is dedicated to couples and spouses worldwide. 

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

A psychologist in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Momeyer therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words.

With a lot of people in NC, providers may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 27856 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site. No matter if you are seeking help in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Momeyer counselor?

Before seeing your therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the therapy process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, let them know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about. They may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what therapy entails. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback and advice. A Momeyer licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find through therapy can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles.

Is mental health care and therapy worth it? 

Therapy is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health professional has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Momeyer, North Carolina can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Momeyer has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online therapy to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
