Kristy Needham
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. I obtained my Masters Degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and have been practicing for six years. I specialize in assisting adults who are grappling with life stressors that may result in burnout and uncertainties.
I have worked in an array of settings, so I know how hard it can become trying to navigate medical, school or in a professional setting such as within big corporations, all while trying to navigate your own mental health.
My approach is centered on assuring my clients that they are not alone and that I am committed to supporting them throughout their journey.
First session
I approach each session with an open mind and a willingness to engage in a collaborative exchange of ideas. Rather than simply reciting a series of questions, I strive to establish a rapport with my clients and begin our discussions from a point that aligns with their comfort level.

I am a compassionate individual who truly enjoys helping others. I love taking on challenges, collaboratively and witnessing my client transform their life into what they want it to become. I have worked in an array of settings, so I know how hard it can become trying to navigate medical, school or in a professional setting such as within big corporations, all while trying to navigate your own mental health.

Ideal clients
It would be my pleasure to assist adults who demonstrate a genuine commitment to personal growth and self-improvement. I am dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve their full potential and become the best versions of themselves.
