LinTiya McCleary

LinTiya McCleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps people can take when feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

McCleary uses a mix of methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches. In plain terms, she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small steps toward what matters to them. Conversations include developing concrete skills for communication, handling control issues, and coping with mood shifts.

She also addresses concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Money and financial stress, life purpose questions, narcissistic patterns, and post-traumatic stress are listed areas she supports. The work often looks like setting manageable goals, practicing new ways to talk with others, and trying exercises between sessions.

Expect a calm, straightforward approach that centers the person's concerns and choices. The therapist uses motivational interviewing techniques when people feel unsure about change. Progress is tracked through regular check-ins and adjustments to the plan as needed.

People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session details can be confirmed before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and then take actions aligned with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building specific skills to change behavior and mood. It often helps with stress, social anxiety, and mood disorders.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work during life changes and reach a therapist practicing in North Carolina without being in the same town.
