Hello! My name is Cierra Alsobrooks, it’s great to meet you! I am a UNCW & NCSU alumni & have been providing therapy services for 5 years, primarily working with college aged individuals for concerns of anxiety, depression, stress management, adjustment, trauma, disordered eating, and OCD.
I'm a doctoral-level Licensed Clinical Social Worker (DSW, LCSW) with 8 years of experience specializing in OCD, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. I'm trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the gold-standard treatment for OCD — and Prolonged Exposure for PTSD, a rare and highly effective trauma protocol. I work virtually with adults and older adults across North Carolina, Maryland, and Tennessee. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser Mid-Atlantic, Carelon, Ascension, Horizon BCBS NJ, and Independence Blue Cross PA.
I hold two advanced degrees, Master of Social Work and Master of Science in Nursing Education. I integrate evidence-based modalities and techniques into my work based upon your needs. Some of the modalities I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing. I was a holistic nurse for 15 years assisting clients with maximizing their physical, psychological, and/or spiritual health. As a licensed clinical social worker, I have worked with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, complex trauma, and early childhood neglect or abuse. My clients are adults including those of diverse cultural, ethnic, and/or religious backgrounds.
I'm Janna Williams, and my path to becoming a therapist is anything but traditional — and I think that's exactly what makes me effective. After 30 years with the State of North Carolina, I retired and did what most people wouldn't: I started over. I became a mobile crisis team responder, showed up for people in their hardest moments, and discovered exactly where I was meant to be. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from UNC Charlotte (Go Niners! 🤘) and earned my Master of Social Work from UNC Pembroke in 2022 (Go Braves! 🏹). My background spans the judicial system, child welfare, substance use, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention — which means I've seen a lot, and very little surprises or intimidates me. I'm here with you at Greater Vision Counseling Services, Southern Pines, and I am genuinely honored to be part of your story.
My name is Alyssa Hooker and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2022 and my Master of Social Work (MSW) through the Joint Master of Social Work Program between North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2023.
I work with individuals across the lifespan, providing a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach is strengths-centered, meeting people where they are while helping them work toward meaningful and realistic goals.
I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, interpersonal stressors, and life transitions. I am familiar with a range of therapeutic modalities and tailor my approach to each person’s unique needs.
A fun fact about me is that I enjoy coffee and spending time with friends and family.
Hi, and welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. My name is Nate, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey. Healing and growth are possible—sometimes it starts with just one small step forward.
A little about me: I hold a Master’s in Social Work, a Bachelor’s in Psychology, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina.

“My professional background as a Registered Dietitian led me to recognize my strengths as a social scientist, with a deeper passion for listening, understanding, and counseling others. I graduated from Drexel University in my hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I went on to become dually licensed as both a Registered Dietitian and a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor after completing a two-year internship.”
Something Beautiful Counseling was built around a simple belief: that healing is possible for everyone, and therapy should feel like a real partnership — not a clinical process you're being put through.
I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors on anxiety, depression, OCD, eating concerns, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, and family stress. I also offer couples therapy through a Solution-Focused approach. Whether you're carrying something heavy or just need support navigating life's transitions, there's a place here for you.
I hold an MSW from Boston University and have been in practice for 30 years. I have trained in CBT, Gestalt, Humanistic, Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered Therapy.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Lina Roe and I have over 30 years of experience in the field of social work, helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and respect. I have been a licensed therapist in North Carolina for the past 3 years.
I believe that every person deserves to be heard, valued, and supported. My approach is compassionate, open-minded, and nonjudgmental, creating a safe space where you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I strive to meet you where you are, offering empathy, validation, encouragement, and practical tools to help you move toward your goals.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, grief, stress, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey. Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore solutions, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and finding the right therapist is an important part of that process. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, understood, and empowered as we work together to improve your well-being and create the life you want.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Cary, NC
Searching for therapists in Cary starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Cary therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Bios can also help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Cary offers access to therapists across local areas like Waverly, Preston, White Deer Park, and nearby communities in the Triangle. Some people prefer in-person sessions close to home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling flexibility. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates about care.
Therapy in Cary can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who match your needs, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage, review estimated costs, and compare virtual or in-person session options. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
