More about Vonetta
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Welcome! I am a Master's, level, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina with over 10 years of experience working with clients across the lifespan and their families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including Autism, intellectual disabilities, developmental differences, anxiety, parenting concerns, health and end-of-life concerns as well as visual impairments. I am also an Ally of the LGBTQ+ population.
My counseling style is warm, open and interactive. I believe in the ethical treatment of each individual while providing every person I work with the highest level respect, empathy, sensitivity, and compassion. Inclusion is of utmost importance, and I aim to provide an empowering, safe space for each person to grow in their personal journey.
My therapeutic approach adheres to a cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and strengths based focus. Based on my experience working with individuals with Autism, I will work with each person to incorporate structured activities and visual tools if needed to help make intervention as successful as possible on the path to personal growth. Self-determination is important and strongly encouraged in our work together.
“The most interesting people you’ll find are ones that don’t fit into your average cardboard box. They’ll make what they need, they’ll make their own boxes.”
-Dr. Temple Grandin
I look forward to working with you and helping build your own construct for your life!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
