Caleb Evington

Caleb Evington

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m Caleb Evington, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth therapy to adults across North Carolina. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after completing my undergraduate degree at Appalachian State University. My professional background includes trauma-focused care and psychosocial oncology, where I have supported individuals and couples through complex emotional, relational, and health-related transitions. I also co-founded a specialized relationship and sex therapy clinic within an academic cancer center and am completing advanced training toward certification through AASECT.

In private practice, I specialize in sex and relationship therapy, anxiety, trauma, identity, life transitions, and patterns that interfere with connection, pleasure, or emotional well-being. I provide LGBTQ+-affirming, sex-positive, kink-aware, and consensual nonmonogamy-affirming care. I often work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who understand a great deal intellectually but still feel stuck in patterns they cannot simply think their way out of.

Jennifer Hobbs

Jennifer Hobbs

Therapist

Virtual • Durham, NC


I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families, and more than 20 years of experience supporting youth and families across home, school, and community settings.

I work with individuals and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral concerns, trauma, school-related stress, life transitions, family conflict, and concerns related to safety and emotional well-being.

My approach to counseling is practical, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I believe meaningful change happens when individuals and families feel supported while also developing tools, insight, and healthy patterns that promote long-term growth.

When working with children and teens, I value partnering with parents and caregivers as an important part of the process, and not to be pushed aside during the treatment process of any minor.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, my goal is to provide a thoughtful, supportive space where meaningful progress can take place.

Tiffany Mulligan

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I've worked with every stage of life - teenagers figuring themselves out, working adults running on empty, older adults navigating major transitions - and I've learned that there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to getting better. What you'll get from me is full attention, an honest approach, and a commitment to meeting you where you actually are. I spent years in inpatient care, and what kept pulling me back to outpatient work is this: I love watching people move forward. That's what I'm here for.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Carolina

Searching for therapists in North Carolina means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. The right fit may depend on what you want support with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare North Carolina therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.

Your options for therapy in North Carolina may look different in Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer meeting with a therapist in person, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility or access to more therapists licensed in North Carolina. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.

The cost of mental health care in North Carolina varies, and therapy can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors in North Carolina who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before booking.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
