Jodeci Oquendo, LCMHC — Therapist in North Carolina

Hi there, I'm Jodeci!

I support adults navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and the stress of managing it all. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about next steps, therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and make meaningful changes.

My focus

I work with adults navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, life transitions, stress, communication struggles, boundary-setting, and finding balance. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally drained, or stuck. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore patterns and emotions impacting your well-being.

My approach

I use an integrative approach to meet your individual needs. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused brief treatment, and person-centered therapy, I support you in gaining self-awareness, improving self-expression, and achieving your goals.

My communication style

Communication is centered around openness, respect, and collaboration. I create a space where you feel genuinely heard, valued, and safe to express yourself without judgment. My tone is calm, supportive, and grounded—guided by empathy and authenticity. I work at your pace, tailoring conversations to what feels most meaningful to you.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey developed from a strong desire to support others in challenging times and contribute to their well-being. After experiencing my own adversities, I gained a greater understanding of the significant impact mental health can have in our daily lives. I knew it was my purpose to foster hope and resilience.

My goals for you

We'll explore your current challenges, strengths, and hopes for therapy, then identify clear, realistic goals reflecting your values. I help break down larger goals into manageable steps and regularly check in on progress. My approach empowers you to take an active role in your healing while I provide guidance and encouragement.

Our first session

Our first session will consist of brief introductions and diving into specific concerns you're currently experiencing. We'll explore goals and create a tailored plan to refer to in follow-up sessions. I open this space for any questions to ensure you feel fully supported about your needs being met.
