Michelle Bell

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

**** I take BCBS, Aetna, & Cigna****

Hi, I’m Megan. I’m really glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist who cares deeply about helping people feel more grounded, understood, and connected to themselves again. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, grieving, or just trying to make sense of things, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I show up with compassion, curiosity, and a pace that meets you where you are.

I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, and the quiet heaviness that builds over time. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourself, even when life feels messy, uncertain, or heavier than you expected.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.

Hi, I’m Christina. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps teens, families, and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s high-stress seasons.
