Kerry-Lynn Thomas

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience supporting people in finding meaningful, holistic ways to improve mood, clarity, and overall well-being. My approach is rooted in Adlerian psychology and focuses on personal empowerment, present-day strengths, and forward movement rather than remaining anchored in the past. I value depth, connection, and practical insight, and I strive to create a space that feels human, supportive, and collaborative. Above all, I believe healing happens most readily through genuine connection, empathy, and being truly seen.

Janna Williams

Janna Williams

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I'm Janna Williams, and my path to becoming a therapist is anything but traditional — and I think that's exactly what makes me effective. After 30 years with the State of North Carolina, I retired and did what most people wouldn't: I started over. I became a mobile crisis team responder, showed up for people in their hardest moments, and discovered exactly where I was meant to be. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from UNC Charlotte (Go Niners! 🤘) and earned my Master of Social Work from UNC Pembroke in 2022 (Go Braves! 🏹). My background spans the judicial system, child welfare, substance use, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention — which means I've seen a lot, and very little surprises or intimidates me. I'm here with you at Greater Vision Counseling Services, Southern Pines, and I am genuinely honored to be part of your story.
