Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)in both North and South Carolina with over 20 years of counseling experience. I am also a Nationally Certified Counselor and Accredited Disability Representative. I work with adults who want help to feel more in control, inspired, motivated, and empowered to find enjoyment in living from their authentic self. My experience includes working with clients with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, bipolar, depression, self-esteem, life transition issues, chronic pain, and disability. This is a transformational journey fueled by strength, integrity and courage.
My counseling style/approach is warm, interactive and supportive. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, integrity, compassion and sensitivity in addressing their concerns. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels because labels do not define who you are.
My approach uses multiple therapeutic modalities such as person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral, reality therapy and psycho-dynamic. This approach allows for flexibility to tailor treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs and goals.
Together, we will identify solutions and resources to inspire, motivate and empower you through your growth challenges to achieve the outcomes and results you want. I believe that you are your best expert in your life. I will provide you with guidance in identifying patterns, choices and consequences to accomplish goals for a more satisfying and authentic life.
It takes strength, integrity and courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life supported by dreams and goals. Taking the first step toward change can be both frightening and rewarding. I will be with you every step of the transformational journey and help you with the tools to develop a "stick and stay" attitude toward your progress.
BE YOU! All abroad the transformation journey, let's roll! I really look forward to working with you to become the best version of yourself.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Loretta is my confidant. She listens to me and offers her support and advice. She makes me feel seen and heard. I’m so thankful she is my therapist. We are going on 3 years of being together!
I learned so many tactics to keep myself calm during difficult moments. Loretta Tillman listens to all my crazy moments and helps me channel through them in a more positive way.
Loretta Tillman is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I was court ordered to take angermanagment classes. Before that i was one of those people who thought that if you needed to talk to a therapist you was weak. But having to take classes for court I found better help on line and applied for the course first few times was phone only and after two one hour talks with Loretta I was finding my self waiting for the next class to come up because this person had change my who thought prosses on being weak if you needed help from a therapist. Now I am that guy if I see someone that is just having a bad day or down on there luck I will go out of my way to speak to that person and see if I can help out even if it's just as simple as just saying hello. Loretta has changed my life she has helped me see there is options she gave me tools to help better my life. So if anyone needs someone to help you through a bad spot in your life you can trust that larreta Tillman. Will be in your corner she will have your back and she is always there when you need her the most. I can't say thank you to her enough she change my life in a good way..
Loretta has been a godsend. She listens objectively and instills confidence in me that has impacted my life.
She is really good at responding quickly and reaching out to me if she hasn't heard from me for a few days.
She is wonderful. She has been there for me during the hardest times of my life. I’m so thankful to have Loretta as my therapist.
Great therapist. Very supportive. Always there and is a great listener.
When I have an appointment with Loretta I always forget that I'm in the appointment. At some point, it feels like you're just having a conversation with someone that wants to help and you forget the clinical side of it.
Mrs. Loretta has helped me overcome soooo many obstacles. I’ve learned many coping strategies to handle life’s challenges and the people u love. She listens to no matter what I’m talking about that day. I can even message her if something’s bothering me and she answers back in a timely fashion.
She held my hands when I needed someone. She is very knowledgeable and approachable. She give her best at every session . Thankful for her.
Always there. Great perspective. Great at helping me stay centered.
Loretta is a pure joy to have in our life. She is always able to listen to both sides of an issue and help give amazing loving advice. Loretta is a wonderful pillar of support in our lives and marriage and I highly recommend working with her.
Loretta Tillman always responds quickly. She knows what to say to get me to think about issues in a different light. And she is very patient with how slow I sometimes am to get the point!
She is honest and very helpful Glad Loretta was there for me.
Excellent therapist! Very wise and knowledgeable. Loretta is an excellent listener and excellent problem solver.
Loretta, is great!! I'm so glad that I have her as a therapist. She has really helped me through some issues that I have been dealing with for years. I love the she's not judgemental nor tells you what to do, but will give you her opinion. Which give me the opportunity to look at situations at a different perspective. I'm just thankful and grateful to have her as my therapist.
Loretta and I have been through a lot. I am so glad I was matched with someone who listens to me and makes me feel heard and seen.
Super understanding, supportive, and caring. She (like many therapists) has a good amount of patients presumably so it feels really good when she remembers things about you and where you are emotionally!
She will be there when you need the most !! Thanks to her

She really cares about her clients and gives a lot of space to express.
Dr. Tillman makes talking about my concerns easy.
Extremely professional, understanding, supportive, and genuinely wants to see your mental health improve. She won’t tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear, and when she tells you what you need to hear, she says it in the most respectful and objective way possible. 10/10!

Great Therapist. I enjoy going to therapy now. Thank you, Loretta, for all you do.
I am happy with her We seem to connect
She is awesome.
I’ve began getting my mental health under control for the last 5 years. Before then I lived with mental health unmanaged my entire life. Every therapist I’ve tried has made me angrier. The culture differences and expressive barriers has made every experience with therapist not pleasant. It’s hard to express how you really feel inside if you can not speak honestly as the person you are. Mental health is not always proper language. Ms.Loretta is such a relief in my true self expression. She is so relatable and real. She can understand and give you a different perspective the way I understand and receive to make a positive change. I appreciate the passion and compassion. I never had a therapist and I’ve been through many to give honest feedback with absolutely no judgment and none of the ridiculous annoying questions. It’s real conversation for understanding. The homework and insight is meaningful. I can’t say enough about the complete turnaround in my feelings towards bettering my mental health. I was ready to give up really give up. She is amazing at what she do, I’m so glad to be under her care.
Loretta was not just a great therapist but she helped me to se all the things that were holding me back and really helped to motivate me to move forward in my life. I appreciate her for her help!
While I have only been working with Loretta for a few weeks, I have seen improvement in my the aspects I was looking for. She’s helpful, prompt to respond, and asks questions to help you work through whatever it is you’re going through. I highly recommend Loretta
Very helpful. Always listening to what your patients need and helping them navigate through their journey
Loretta is amazing. The thoughtfulness in every message. The thoroughness in each live session. The kindness in her tone. She is simply wonderful and has helped me tremendously.
Therapy is only as effective as the client’s honesty with their therapist. Loretta is 100% non judgmental which fosters a feeling of safety and openness. She is an amazing therapist.
She’s the BEST!!!
Great therapist
Loretta has been incredibly helpful for me . Her positive outlook and understanding/advice is uplifting and inspiring
I have a lot of trust in Loretta. She listens to my thoughts and feelings, and helps me feel more confident in my interpretation of issues. She has provided helpful advice
My therapist is a great listener and challenges me to be a better version of myself.
Loretta is amazing. She listens and provides various tools that I can apply as I go through this journey. Loretta is understanding and truly makes me feel like this is a safe space. Highly recommend.
Keep up the good work!!
I just can’t say enough about my therapist and better help in general. You guys always work with me financially and this has been such an amazing experience.
I love Mrs. Tillman, she is the best. I wasn't sure what to expect from therapy but my sessions with Mrs. Tillman have been invaluable. She made me feel completely at ease discussing anything that was on my mind, and being able to let my guard down and express difficult emotions was a huge relief. We got to the bottom of damaging thought patterns and worked through tools to deal with them, which I feel confident using on my own now. Her patience, understanding and guidance have enabled me to make what I am confident will be lasting positive changes. I would definitely recommend Mrs. Tillman, she is a wonderful therapist and I am very glad to know she is there if I need her everyday or in the future.Thank you!
I started seeing Loretta during a time in my life that things just felt like they were spiraling out of control. She helped me overcome many challenges that I wasn’t aware of and provided me with support that I needed. My friends and family have been able to see the growth that I have made and thanks to Loretta I have new tools to help me get through new obstacles. She is very kind, patient, and wise. I am grateful that Loretta has assisted me in making progress with moving forward in my life.
Excellent
Loretta creates a safer space for me to show up as I am without judgement. She asks questions that inspire me to dig deeper. She offers words of encouragement and empowers me with reminders of agency and choice. I’m so grateful she’s my therapist!
Loretta is a very understanding Woman. She’s nails the core of the problem, and breaks down what kind of things you need to work on.
Nice lady
She is awesome and I am grateful for her.
Loretta has an extensive education obviously, But what she has you cannot learn from the book which is a highly functioning intuition sensitivity and words that you can actually take with you into your next session and somehow those words turn into actions that turn into real practical healing. Florida is a gift to the mental healthcare community
So positive and eager to help me heal!
Love my therapist she is amazing
Loretta Tillman is very caring and experienced. She understands the nuances of my situation and offers both proactive suggestions and emotional support which have been extremely helpful.
She’s been fantastic
Loretta is taking me me to the next level of life in such a beautiful powerful way!
Ms. Tillman is an exceptional therapist. Excellent skills. Loretta is a great example of Therapist who understands the science and can convey through the art of therapy.
Still early on in the therapy, but so far Loretta has been a very large help. She is very challenging to my own views, helping me see things outside of my own perspective. Has been timely in response, and helped me on many of days that I wasn't doing the best. Positive reinforcing, while also steering me in the direction I need to be facing. Very lucky to have her help, and feel blessed to have the privilege of her time.
Loretta is positive and encouraging. I feel like I have a strong ally as I grow on my journey. She is attentive, and I feel heard.
Ms. Tillma has helped me open up and look at myself and others positively.
