Therapists in North Carolina

Hello and welcome! My name is Libby, and I am a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and Licensed Behavioral Specialist (LBS). I am licensed in both Pennsylvania and North Carolina. I earned my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling in 2014 from Carlow University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have over 12 total years of experience in the mental health and behavioral health field, and I have worked with a variety of populations including young children, adolescents, adults, and the geriatric population. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and have experience working with individuals, families, couples, and groups addressing issues ranging from anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, grief/loss, self-esteem issues, anger management, behavioral issues/oppositional defiance, ADHD, Autism, issues with social interactions and/or social phobias, Bipolar disorder, relationship issues, family conflict, and parenting issues. My therapeutic approach is based on the client’s needs, and I believe there is no one therapy approach that works for everyone, as we are all different and unique individuals. I believe it is important to meet clients where they are, and work collaboratively together towards established goals. I believe in being open and honest in sessions to assist clients with gaining the feedback and assistance they need in making the changes that will better their lives. I believe the client-therapist relationship is extremely important, and there must be a good sense of trust, honesty, and teamwork between therapist and client for therapy to be productive and for goals to be achieved. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to learn a little bit about me, and if you feel I am the right therapist for you, I look forward to working together!

Hi my name is Linda Sealey. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of NC and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of SC. The services I offer include individual, family, relationship counseling, behavior modification, independent living, anger management life coaching and parenting skills. I am licensed in North Carolina and South Carolina with 10 years of professional counseling experience. I specialize in helping clients with stress anxiety, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression, and family/relationship counseling.

The population I serve includes adults, adolescents, and families. I provide counseling in both individual and group settings. My theoretical orientation is an eclectic approach that has its main theoretical framework from cognitive behavioral Therapy and combines skills and techniques from reality therapy such as choice theory, WDEP (wants, doing and direction, evaluation, and planning) and solution focused therapy such as miracle question and scaling. Overall I work with the client to improve their thinking pattern in order to improve or change their behaviors, coping with challenges effectively, and create meaning in their lives that honor who they are in the here and now.
