I have received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. Don't let that scare you. I do not judge and am easily relatable. I enjoy working with older teens into adulthood. Working with those who have anxieties, depression, and trying to adjust to new things are part of what I like working with.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a background in school counseling and emotional wellness support for children, teens, and adults. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, ADHD, life transitions, identity development, and family or relationship challenges. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported. I value collaboration and use an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person's needs, strengths, and goals.

Hi! Im Ryan Bell, an LCMHC, and I have been working with young adults, adolescents and their families for over 15 years in a variety of settings, from boarding schools to homeless shelters, to wilderness therapy. I have had extensive experience in supporting anxiety, depression, crisis interventions, trauma, and behavioral concerns in adolescents, while supporting parents in their personal journeys to figure out how to put their own oxygen mask on before they can help themselves.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Carolina
Searching for therapists in North Carolina means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. The right fit may depend on what you want support with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare North Carolina therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Your options for therapy in North Carolina may look different in Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer meeting with a therapist in person, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility or access to more therapists licensed in North Carolina. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
The cost of mental health care in North Carolina varies, and therapy can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors in North Carolina who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before booking.
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.
