I've enjoyed my therapy sessions with Joyce. She has really helped me dive deep and get to root causes and has even given me "homework" to help.

More about Joyce
- 14 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a family and marriage therapist licensed in North Carolina with over 11 years of experience working as a therapist for those of all ages. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including relationship issues, parenting problems, family discord, career challenges, assertivness, and an array of sexual functions and dysfunction. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is present and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, while also being honest. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
As a therapist, I hope to help motivate people in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I aim to provide a stimulating and supportive environment that encourages clients to take initiative in their own lives, while fostering confidence to realize their full potential.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s great!
She's been the best therapist I've ever had!
Easy to talk to, understanding, relatable, supportive and challenging in positive ways to encourage growth. Definitely recommend!
I love my therapist, she responds quickly and is always on time with our meetings. She gives me great advice and tools to ensure that I am always ok to handle life
Joyce knows my feelings before I do. She encourages me to think and do things outside the box. She is amazing and what I needed in my time of need.
Joyce is a beautiful spirit and listener. She gives relatable and authentic feedback and makes you feel very comfortable not like I’m being judged during my conversations with her. She gives me a space to feel safe and express myself and just release things that are bothering me.
Amazing. I had a therapist before Joyce who didn’t listen or respect my feelings. As soon as I switched to Joyce, I felt an immediate change in professionalism. She listens and gives you actual solutions. She meets me with my humor and allows me to be myself in therapy without judgement. 1000% recommend
A perfect match! She understood me in ways I didn’t understand myself!
Joyce is an incredible therapist. She’s given me advice that has changed my outlook on life and has repeatedly supported and encouraged me on my life journey. She is wonderful and I’m glad I’ve partnered with her!
Joyce is super down to earth and gives great advice, super attentive and schedules very well
Joyce always knows what to say and makes me feel heard. She gives me a new perspective that I wouldn't think about. After one session I felt very comfortable with her to share all my personal information
She listens to you before responding.
After one session, I feel Joyce will be a good fit moving forward.
Joyce is the most genuine and understanding therapist I've found. I look forward to her honest input every week! She is outstanding at telling you what you need to hear, in a way that you can comprehend.
Thank you for being an amazing therapist
Really happy to have Joyce as my therapist.
