Dr. Bryan Jones

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


My name is Dr. Bryan A. Jones, LPC, and I am a licensed professional counselor and substance abuse treatment practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in behavioral health, counseling, addiction and recovery services, spiritual care, and helping individuals navigate complex life challenges. I am licensed as a mental health professional in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida for telehealth.

I specialize in working with adults, Veterans, professionals, faith leaders, and individuals experiencing major life transitions who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship concerns, substance use disorders, recovery challenges, burnout, identity concerns, and spiritual or faith-related struggles.

I help clients by providing a compassionate, collaborative, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented approach to counseling.

I am passionate about this work because I believe people can experience healing, recovery, growth, resilience, and renewed hope even during difficult seasons of life. It is a privilege to help individuals better understand themselves, overcome obstacles, strengthen relationships, address substance use concerns, develop healthier patterns, and move toward the life they want to live.

My goal is to provide counseling that is warm, professional, practical, and purposeful—a place where you can talk openly, be appropriately challenged, develop useful tools, and move forward with greater confidence, stability, and clarity.

Therapist

I believe that humans should ideally be unfolding and growing throughout their lifetime. This means embracing change, especially when life gets difficult and we feel stuck, dissatisfied, or overwhelmed. Change is a journey with ups and downs. Personally, I believe we all struggle with challenges at different times in our life and it's the courageous who seek help.

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.
