Hi, my name is Linda Sealey, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina. I bring over 10 years of professional counseling experience, providing compassionate, client-centered care to individuals, families, and couples. I offer a wide range of services, including individual, family, and relationship counseling; behavior modification; independent living support; anger management; life coaching; and parenting skills development. I specialize in helping clients navigate stress and anxiety, depression, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence issues, as well as family and relationship concerns. My goal is to support clients in building resilience, gaining clarity, and creating meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I am passionate about working with people and helping them experience the impact counseling can have on their lives. Our first session will be a time to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. Together, we will identify your goals, discuss your expectations, and create a personalized plan that supports growth, healing, and positive change.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring a nonjudgmental and empathetic approach to everything I do, recognizing that everyone makes mistakes and deserves understanding. I’m a strong listener, think outside the box, and enjoy helping others. I communicate honestly and make an effort to see situations from every perspective.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Positive outcomes are most common when clients are ready to engage in the work of change and have supportive relationships around them. Taking the step to begin therapy requires courage, and I honor that choice. I look forward to walking alongside you in this process.
