Ifeoma Okani

Ifeoma Okani

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


I, Ifeoma Okani, is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I specialize in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, insomnia, adjustment disorders, OCD, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and addiction. Many of my clients are juggling multiple roles and seek a safe, culturally sensitive space where they feel truly heard and understood. Their goal isn’t just to feel better but to reconnect with themselves, heal from past pain, and thrive emotionally. They want personalized, compassionate care that supports meaningful growth, not just symptom relief. I help by providing a safe, culturally sensitive space where you’ll feel heard and supported. Using compassionate, evidence-based care, I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy tailored to your needs. In our early sessions, we’ll build trust, explore your concerns, and create a personalized plan to support your healing. My practice is unique because I focus not only on symptom relief but on helping clients reconnect with themselves, heal deeply, and thrive long-term. I’m passionate about supporting others so they never feel alone in their struggles. I am committed to providing the support, insight, and clinical expertise you need to restore your peace and well-being.

Ragine George

Ragine George

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


My name is Ragine George, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in North Carolina. I work with adults who are ready to make a real change. I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, exposure-based methods, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to help you build practical skills you can use between sessions. Therapy should feel productive. Each session, I want you to leave with something concrete: a new way of thinking about a problem, a tool to manage a difficult moment, or a clearer sense of what you are working toward. My background includes both outpatient counseling and crisis work, which has given me a broad clinical foundation. I am comfortable sitting with difficult emotions and helping clients move through them at their own pace. At the same time, I stay goal-oriented. I work best with clients who want both structure and compassion. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, family concerns and panic disorders. I use exposure therapy with clients whose anxiety has taken over their daily life, and I bring a culturally informed lens to every session. I offer telehealth sessions exclusively, which means you can access care from wherever you are in North Carolina. Whether you have been managing something for years or a situation recently became overwhelming, I want to help you find a path forward. I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.

Dr. Jamie Johnson

Dr. Jamie Johnson

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I bring over 11 years of behavioral health leadership experience, including senior clinical executive roles overseeing adolescent and family treatment programs, alongside my work as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I’m dually licensed in California and North Carolina, a BBS-Approved Clinical Supervisor, and an adjunct professor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I help train the next generation of clinicians.

My clinical approach is grounded in Family Consciousness, a framework I developed through my doctoral research to help individuals and families deepen closeness, heal relational wounds, and reconnect with their sense of purpose and identity. I work with individuals and families navigating life transitions, relationship strain, identity development, and the search for greater self-understanding and connection.

I believe therapy works best as a collaborative, honest, and deeply human process. Whether you’re working through a specific challenge or simply want to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to walk alongside you with clinical expertise and genuine care.

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 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
