Waxhaw, NC - Accepting clients in NC

Hi! I'm Kayla Sease, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina. I received my BSW at UNC-Pembroke in 2014 and my MSW in 2015 from the advanced standing program at UNC-Pembroke. I have 8 years of experience in composing the minds of individuals of all ages. I have experience working in various Social Work settings. However, I am passionate about helping young adult women navigate the unique challenges that come with ADHD, especially during the whirlwind years of college life. Balancing academic pressure, social demands, and personal growth can be overwhelming, and ADHD often adds an extra layer of difficulty. But I believe that with the right tools and support, you can not only manage your ADHD but also embrace your unique strengths. My approach is rooted in helping you find composure—a sense of calm and control in the midst of life's chaos. Together, we'll work on strategies to improve focus, manage stress, and develop the self-compassion you need to thrive. Whether it's tackling procrastination, organizing your academic life, or finding ways to stay grounded, I’m here to guide you through it with practical tools and a compassionate, non-judgmental space. If you’ve been struggling with ADHD in college, feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, know that you are not alone. My goal is to help you feel confident, balanced, and equipped to face the challenges of both school and life with clarity and composure. Let’s work together to build the resilience and self-awareness you need to succeed—on your terms.

Hello there, I'm Heather. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to life transitions? Are you noticing that things are overwhelming and more difficult to cope with because of the many stressors in life? Do you feel that you worry too much, are not good enough, or feel like you're stuck? Do you feel like you are all alone, that you have no one who really listens, understands you, or can relate to what you are going through? Well look no further because I specialize in alleviating anxiety, managing and overcoming depression, and adjusting to life transitions (such as parenting, relationship challenges, experiencing an empty nest, health issues, job loss, divorce, death of a loved one, or retirement.) It's a common experience to face these life challenges, but when those issues start to take over your life, it's time to get the support you need by working through this with a counselor so you can live a more fulfilling life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina, licensed to see clients in North Carolina working virtually, and I'm also licensed in California. I received my Masters from San Diego State University and have been practicing clinical social work for 21 years. I enjoy working with individual adults who are struggling navigating the stressors in life, and we would work together to get you unstuck as soon as possible so you can live a better life, on your own terms. You are brave and have made an important step in the change process just by being here.

Marion, NC - Accepting clients in NC

Hi, my name is Anna Lanier-Comar. I have been practicing in the mental health field for 17 years. I served in the Air Force Reserves for 8 years as a Mental Health Technician while earning my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I completed the requirements for Licensure while working at an inpatient Eating Disorder Facility in North Carolina. I have been practicing as a Licensed Therapist since 2017. Most of my professional experience is in treating Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, Borderline personality disorder and Eating disorders. I use a few different modalities in therapy. I work to help clients feel empowered over their human experience; good and bad. If you have not participated in therapy before it can seem a little daunting. During the first session, we will go over your relevant history and compile a list of goals you would like to accomplish while in therapy. In the following sessions, we will increase coping skills and strategies, along with awareness of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Throughout therapy we will work to increase your resilience, confidence and adaptability to all life has to throw at you, as well as heal from the parts of your past that need your attention.
