More about Joyce

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCMHC

I am licensed in North Carolina with 14 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I further believe that we are part spirit (not just physical, emotional and mental), therefore I like to include a spiritual approach (Bible/Christian Based) to assisting you in dealing with your issues.

I have recently (May 6th, 2024) received my doctorate in Behavioral Health (DBH). what I learned during the tenure of this degree has helped to understand even at a deeper level how our medical and behavioral (mental/substance use) conditions influence our general well-being. I hope to utilize this newly gained knowledge in being more intentional in how I can work with my clients.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
