Stephanye Clagett

Stephanye Clagett

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Stress, anxiety, panic, trauma, or depression taking away your peace? You don’t have to keep feeling stuck, defeated, or disconnected from the life you want. After a decade as a chiropractor helping people with back and joint pain, I discovered a powerful pattern: unresolved emotional pain can affect us physically, mentally, and emotionally. That realization led me to counseling—and to a passion for helping people heal from the inside out. I work with concerns including anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, mood disorders, chronic pain, codependency, phobias, and women’s issues.

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 New Bern

Searching for therapists in New Bern starts with finding someone whose background fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. If you are looking for marriage counseling in New Bern, NC, it can also help to look for therapists who list couples therapy, communication concerns, conflict patterns, or family relationships in their specialties. Review each therapist’s profile for training, therapy style, and areas of focus, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family systems work.

In a smaller city like New Bern, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger North Carolina markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach mental health care before you book.

Therapy in New Bern can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance details, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
