In Person

I would like to thank you for reading my profile! I honor your courage to reach out and seek help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist with over 25 years of experience. I am licensed in several different States to practice and I practice from a Holistic Perspective. It is my belief that you must treat the "whole" person. I incorporate mind, body and spirit into my approach when it comes to assisting others on their journey of healing. It is a journey not a destination. We are always learning, growing, and healing if we choose to do so. Allow me to assist you on your journey of healing and awakening to your Universal Divine Truth. I will assist you by helping you learn to tap into the power within that has always existed! You will discover your true-self and be able to begin creating the life of your dreams. I am both a Spiritual Empowerment (Life) Coach and a Licensed Therapist and can meet either need. Allow me to help you discover the solutions for your life one session at a time! I work with individuals, groups, couples, and/or families who have experienced everything from child abuse, domestic violence, low self-esteem, bereavement, anxiety, parenting issues, and depression just to mention a few. When providing therapy I utilize a holistic wellness approach and use a variety of modalities when dealing with my clients. I do not see you as "your story, your past, your perceived failures." You are so much more than you realize! Through utilizing several different therapy techniques and years of experience, we will begin to explore underlying causes of what has you out of "alignment" and assist you on your path to healing and wellness! I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Again, It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Gastonia, North Carolina - Clinical Social Worker/therapist
Online
In Person

If you are seeking online counseling support, you are among thousands of others currently struggling with depression, anxiety, illness, loss, trauma or other critical stress, whose timely access to care requires the flexibility of services offered by BetterHelp. As a Master of Social Work, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have over 30 years’ experience working with families and children across numerous settings, to include private non-profits, mental health, social services and K-12 education. I have worked with adults around issues of abuse and neglect, domestic violence, parent-child conflict, intergenerational trauma, and other associated diagnoses, to include depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and substance abuse. I retired from public education as a Director of Student Support Services in July 2020 and am currently also rostered as a Resiliency Educator. The training curricula used in this work is trauma-informed and heavily steeped in the body’s neuro-biological response to stress. My approach to treatment is holistic, strengths-based, client centered, and solutions focused. I employ several techniques, to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness training, psycho-educational counseling, resiliency tools, and case management, should there be a need for advocacy or other community supports. As a clinical social worker, I involve the client in their treatment to ensure the plan includes their goals and desired outcomes. Guided by the NASW Code of Ethics, my personal style is non-judgmental, respectful, genuine and sensitive to the individual’s situation. I am very comfortable dealing with individuals, couples, or families that are experiencing a crisis, and strive to provide a welcoming, safe space to a diverse client population. Above all else, the relationship formed during our work together is critical to your success and satisfaction with the services offered. I have found that using the video option during sessions is the quickest and best way to create a strong, therapeutic connection, and encourage my clients to use that format whenever possible. My professional goal for all is to provide clients with the skills needed to manage their current circumstances along with the ability to apply those skills to future issues. Everyone’s journey includes inevitable bumps along the way. If my strategic approach aligns with your counseling expectations, I’m here to help you achieve your goals.

Breo’na Troutman

Gastonia, North Carolina - Counselor
Online

Hi, my name is Breo'na, my counseling style is welcoming, non-judgmental, and interactive. I firmly believe that people are experts regarding themselves and realize the importance of meeting individuals, as clients exactly where they are in life. My guiding technique is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on the rationale of an individual’s cognitive beliefs and distorted thoughts as well as the combination of Solution-Focused, Psychodynamic, and Person-Centered Therapy. I have experience working with clients that struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship issues. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Atlanta, Georgia. I am also licensed in North Carolina as a clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC). I attended Wright State University located in Dayton, Ohio where I was born and raised. There I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology (2011) and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2014). I strive to make a positive impact on others, while guiding them to recognize their ability to become the person they desire to be, through any given circumstance, hardship, or experience. I have found that my work as a counselor for the past 11 years has allotted me the opportunity to do just that! It should be said that there is never a dull moment in therapy with me, as I enjoy laughing, making others laugh, and creating an organic and relaxed environment for my clients.
