Therapist

Virtual • South 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.

Tanasia Betts

Tanasia Betts

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


My name is Tanasia Betts and I am a licensed professional counselor. Here's how I can help you reach your goals.

Trauma

Many people struggling with anxiety and depression are carrying the effects of unresolved trauma. Together, we'll explore the experiences and patterns that continue to impact your life while using evidence-based approaches to support lasting healing. In a safe, supportive space, you can break unhealthy cycles, build resilience, and reclaim your sense of peace and purpose.

Christian Counseling

I believe healing is strengthened through both faith and therapy. I integrate evidence-based counseling with biblical principles to help fellow believers navigate life's challenges, find hope, and experience emotional, mental, and spiritual growth in a supportive, Christ-centered environment.

Couples Therapy

Every relationship faces challenges, but you don't have to navigate them alone. I don't take sides—I choose the relationship, creating a safe space where both partners can feel heard, rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and reconnect. If you and your partner are ready to invest in your relationship, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Jessica Walden

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


(Appt hours: Monday & Friday 9-1p and Wednesday 9-3p)Hi, I’m Jessica. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My role is to create a space where you can exhale, take off the mask, and begin the journey toward wholeness and peace.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Right Mentality Mental Health and Wellness, I have dedicated my work to helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions with honesty, compassion, and cultural awareness.

I work with a special focus on supporting Black and Brown communities. My approach is collaborative, conversational, and grounded in real life. You can expect open dialogue, practical tools, and a therapist who meets you with both empathy and accountability.

Therapy with me is not about perfection. It is about progress, healing, and learning to show up for yourself in ways that honor your truth and your growth.

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 South Carolina

Searching for therapists in South Carolina starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and areas of focus can vary. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.

Location and format also shape your search. You may prefer an office near Charleston, Columbia, or Greenville, or you may want virtual sessions that fit your schedule from elsewhere in South Carolina. It can also help to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can show how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus, so you can make a more informed choice.

Therapy in South Carolina can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans and helps you find South Carolina therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, check your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
