Regina Patterson, LCSW — Therapist in North Carolina

Hi there, I'm Regina!

I desire to assist you with identifying strengths that you may not realize you have on your journey to wellness.

My focus

I work with adults, most often women, who are 18+ years old. I am skilled in women's issues, life changes, assertiveness training, Christian Counseling when requested, relationship issues, Skills Training, stress, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and self-esteem issues.

My approach

My approach varies based on individual needs, but I most often use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also use Christian counseling when requested. Both of these modalities allow me and the client to freely explore solutions that are more personalized to the client.

My communication style

My communication style is open, calm, and accepting. I want the client to feel comfortable talking with me without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Throughout my personal and professional life, I have always been the one friends would talk to for advice. I have a desire for people to find the "silver lining" in situations so that they can be the best version of themselves and thrive.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a team effort: the client and I are a team, and we will work together towards goals the client sets. This starts by building rapport and trust, and as time goes on, we will measure your progress towards meeting your goals.

Our first session

During the first session with me, we will work to build rapport and trust. You can expect us to talk a lot about the reason you are seeking therapy at this current time, how you got to the place you are currently in, and what you would like to gain in therapy. I will ask a lot of questions to get to know you.
