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.
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.
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.
Hi, I'm Jean, an LCSW-R with over 20 years experience helping adults and couples with anxiety, relationship issues and life changes. I provide a supportive dialogue to foster healing and growth, giving you practical tools for lasting confidence and self actualization.
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.
I am a licensed doctoral level therapist who specializes in helping individuals heal from trauma, depression, and anxiety. My practice is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for those struggling with emotional and psychological challenges. Together, we will work toward building resilience, restoring balance, and improving your overall well-being.
I enjoy working with people who are interested in returning to the truth of who they are. I value people. Intuition is often within my work with people. I am honored to walk with people in their orientation to healing and health in the ways important to them. Harmony in mind, body, and spirit.
A holistic trauma informed approach with a culturally grounded orientation to care is my offering. I love to incorporate breath work and somatic work in with talk therapy all while centering values.
I respect the courage of getting to this point. It’s reasonable that we all would benefit from support so I am happy to walk you home to you, the truth of you that deserves liberation, healing and health because your life has value and I’m so glad you’re here. You deserve it all.
Thanks for stopping by. I believe healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or out of reach. If anxiety, depression, trauma, identity stress, or patterns in relationships have left you feeling stuck or exhausted, you’re not alone. Many people seek support when everyday life or past experiences feel heavy, when communication with loved ones breaks down, or when coping feels more reactive than intentional. I work with teens and adults across differences in culture, identity, and life experiences to help you find steadier ground and more meaningful connection in your relationships and your sense of self.
NOW ACCEPTING AND SERVING CHILDREN!! Have you ever felt lost or lonely while in a familiar or crowed place? Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. I first developed a passion for therapy when I hit a roadblock in my own life and was struggling to move past it. I specialize in helping people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing them distress, anxiety, and discomfort.
Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow us to be the best version of ourselves. With my help, you'll learn about acceptance and how to exert your power of choice over whatever life may throw at you. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients.
My job is to give you the tools and techniques to achieve a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. After several sessions, you will become well-versed at handling issues whenever and wherever they arise. Let's work together to put your life back in focus. I look forward to working with you.
I am a "tomboy" at heart! I love motorcycles, dogs, horses, the beach, running, and live music. But are we a good therapy match? You decide- AAS-Agribusiness, BSW-Social Work, MSW-Social Work. Work History: 8 years in Public Health, 5 years in Child Welfare, 2 years in Caregiving, 2 years in Developmental Disabilities, 8 years in Mental Health. Did I mention that I worked for DuPont for 10 years before going back to school for social work? I have a strong work ethic-that means I give you 100%.

Frequently asked questions


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 Mental Health Therapist in Gastonia, NC
Searching for therapists in Gastonia starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to address. A profile that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy can help you understand how that therapist may work with you.
In a smaller city like Gastonia, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. Some people prefer an office visit near central Gastonia, Crowders Mountain, or nearby communities, while others choose virtual sessions that fit around work, school, or caregiving. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Gastonia 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 your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated cost before you book. You can compare therapists, read profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
