Hello. I am Ann Aycock, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the heart of North Carolina. With 10 years of dedicated practice, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate through their unique journey toward healing and personal growth.
My approach
My approach is a tailored blend of evidence-based therapies, weaving together cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing. I believe in the power of respect, sensitivity, and compassion. In our sessions, I hope you can freely explore your feelings and any obstacles in your life that you may be experiencing.
My focus
I work with clients seeking help for depression and anxiety related to various life challenges. During our regular sessions, we will focus on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, developing healthier behaviors, and building resilience. Most of my clients experience an improved mood, reduced stress, and an overall enhanced sense of well-being."
My communication style
I am committed to customizing our sessions to align with your unique strengths, preferences, and needs. Taking that first step toward change requires courage, and I am here to be your steadfast ally through the exhilarating and sometimes challenging journey towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. Let us embark on this transformative path together.
My journey to mental healthcare
I chose to become a therapist because I’m passionate about supporting others and witnessing the positive changes they make in their lives. It’s incredibly fulfilling to help people navigate challenges and find happiness, and I’m driven by the opportunity to be a part of their journey toward growth and well-being. Seeing my clients achieve their goals and experience greater joy is what motivates me every day.
My goals for you
I approach goal setting using a strength-based, person-centered approach that emphasizes positivity. We start by identifying your unique strengths and resources, and then work together to set realistic, meaningful goals that align with your values and aspirations. Throughout the process, I focus on empowering you to build on your successes and maintain a positive outlook as you work toward achieving your goals.
My first session with you
In the first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we begin to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your current challenges, and identify your goals for treatment. I’ll also ask questions about your personal history and experiences to better understand your unique situation. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer picture of how we can work together and what the next steps will be.
