Jullee Capshaw

Therapist

Virtual • Cornelius, NC


Hello! I’m Jullee Capshaw, MA, LCMHC (she/her/hers). I began working in the mental health field in 2018 at a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, GA, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals through complex challenges. I later worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism behavioral clinic, providing ABA therapy to children and their families.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Georgia and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNC Charlotte. During graduate school, I completed an internship at Davidson College while continuing my work with children with autism.

I am now a fully licensed counselor and am grateful to have my own practice, where I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space for clients to grow and heal.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fayetteville, NC

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fayetteville starts with identity-affirming care. This can mean looking for a therapist with experience in affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, WPATH-informed training, or work with LGBTQIA+ communities. You may also want support with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, identity, or family dynamics. Reading a therapist’s listed specialties and approach can help you find someone whose training matches what you want to address.

Fayetteville has a meaningful mental health care community, though affirming therapists may be more limited than in larger North Carolina cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find care that fits your schedule, preferences, and insurance. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ populations in their bio. A bio can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after your coverage is verified. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
