Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi, I’m Rochelle. I’ve been a therapist for over 25 years, and my goal is simple — to help you feel better, think clearer, and live your best life.

My sessions are warm, honest, and conversational. I don’t just listen — I teach practical tools and life skills you can actually use to manage stress, handle emotions, and build healthier relationships. Together, we’ll work through what’s weighing on you and find new ways to create peace and balance.

I take a whole-person approach — mind, body, and spirit — and I especially enjoy helping adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of their next step. Therapy with me feels like a safe, supportive space to learn, grow, and start feeling more like yourself again.

Danielle Emerson

Danielle Emerson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!

I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.

During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to beneficially serve the community and provide support to those who need it while hoping to reduce barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.

I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.

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 Greensboro

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Greensboro starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly states experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, gender-diverse clients, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists may also mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or experience supporting transgender, nonbinary, queer, and gender-expansive people. These details can help you find a therapist whose training, specialties, and approach match what you want from care.

Greensboro offers both local and virtual therapy options, which can help widen your search for an affirming therapist. In a mid-size city, the right fit may be nearby, or you may prefer a virtual appointment with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and any background or identity details that matter to you. Reading bios before booking can show how a therapist describes their communication style, areas of focus, and experience with LGBTQIA+ communities.

Therapy in Greensboro can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and see estimated costs after you enter your coverage details. From there, you can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
