“You are the expert on you.” This is a statement that I love sharing with my clients because I feel it emphasizes that you are the most important part of this relationship. Therapy is an opportunity to grow and explore oneself and I feel that the relationship between a client and therapist is of the utmost importance. I hold this relationship in high regard and look forward to walking along side you during this journey. I specialize in trauma counseling and marriage counseling. My goal in therapy is not just symptom reduction but liberation from suffering.
I work primarily with adults. I am available to see individuals and couples. I have received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Experiencing, Trauma Focused CBT, and Gottman Couples Counseling. I offer both video and phone sessions.
Here is a little about me. I am originally from South Carolina and have lived here most of my life. I enjoy spending my free time reading and playing with my children. I also love martial arts, traveling, and playing the saxophone. That is enough about me, what I am really looking forward to is learning more about you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very understanding and able to provide different outlooks even if I throw out a curveball scenario, of even that may have happened and may and can repeat itself
Earnell is professional, kind, straightforward, sets goals from the start, reflects positive energy, and is generally everything I’ve needed in a therapist. 10/10 would recommend.
Our sessions have been much help.
Earnell is amazing, understanding , and completely straightforward. He listens and gives great responses and solutions. He brings light to solutions I felt weren’t accessible to me. He has helped me become who I was before!
First session was AMAZING! Earnell listens and is very engaged the entire session. He also helps you develop realistic goals that cater to where you currently are, mentally. I cannot wait until my next session!
After one session, just bouncing my thoughts on Earnell helped immensely. How he is should be the STANDARD for ALL therapists.
Earnell helped me get organized so that I can accomplish my goals. Having more balance has really helped with my anxiety!
Really helpful for persons with trauma experiences
He's a great guy who listens to me. Answers my texts. Out of 2 sessions we got alot done.
I really like the conversations we have had and look forward to more.
