Top virtual Vermont therapists and psychiatrists who accept cash payments

I am a warm and empathetic psychotherapist based in Fayetteville, NC, and the owner and lead clinician of Cape Fear Counseling and Associates. I take a humanistic, heart-centered approach to therapy, grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a non-pathologizing lens. I view therapy as a collaborative journey toward healing, wellness, and self-discovery. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. My passion is deeply rooted in the core mission of the social work profession: to enhance human well-being and empower individuals to grow into the fullest version of themselves. My therapeutic approach incorporates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Perspective, and Motivational Interviewing. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients, always centering their strengths and capacity for growth. I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions to provide flexible and accessible care.

You are on the search for something. Whether it is clarity, peace, happiness, support, or the freedom to finally explore who YOU truly are. We often feel the pressure to appear we have it all together when deep inside we are fighting a battle within. This journey that you are on, no longer has to be walked alone.

Hi, I’m Andrea! I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, and I’m here to help you navigate life’s ups and downs. Whether you’re an adult or adolescent, I aim to create a supportive, caring space where you can feel truly heard. I specialize in stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and coping skills. If your faith is important to you, I also offer Faith-Based Therapy, blending spiritual principles with psychology for a holistic approach to healing. My sessions are relaxed, down-to-earth, and judgment-free, allowing you to feel comfortable being yourself. Beyond therapy, I assist with FMLA, short-term disability (STD), and long-term disability (LTD) paperwork, ensuring you get the support you need during difficult times. Outside of work, I’m a foodie who loves exploring new flavors, a music lover always adding to my playlist, and a big football fan (game day is serious business!). Together, we’ll set meaningful goals and work toward creating the positive changes you seek. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone, I’m here to help!

Welcome! You’re taking a tremendous step by reaching out for therapy. It’s often a very hard step to make. Hoops to jump through, filling out forms, finding time to look at profiles, thinking about who might be able to help, then eventually finding a time that works for you and the therapist. It takes a lot of work. You making it this far in the process is proof that you’re really motivated and ready to feel the way you want to feel. My experience is in addictions, anxiety, depression, stress management, grief, and career development. The people who tend to choose to work with me are those experiencing life changes such as career changes, retirement, empty nest, new parent, illness or injury, divorce, and loss. Though general burnout prevention and stress management has become my “specialty”, I prefer looking at the whole picture. You are not equal to the things that are weighing you down, you are not equal to the mistakes you've made, and you are not equal to what you've been through. There is so much more to you and together we will focus on all of it. We will address overall wellness and patterns of times you’ve felt good and times you’ve felt bad. If you’ve participated in counseling before, you know that every counselor is different and every experience is different. It’s important that we’re on the same page about the process, which is something we’ll talk about the first time we meet. I’m here to listen to you and offer suggestions, but there’s no magic solution. And things aren’t always easy or fun. This is your journey with bumps and wrong turns and sometimes surprises that are better than you imagined. But it’s your journey and I am only here to keep you company and help you find your way. Regardless of how long the journey lasts or what the path is like, I look forward to joining it with you.

Hello, my name is Tracy Faust and I have been practicing Psychotherapy with those of nearly all ages for over twenty years. I earned my Master of Arts from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI in 2000 and have been full time in the field ever since. For over thirteen of those years my experience was in a community mental health center, providing outpatient therapy, case management and advocacy to those residing in that area, as well as crisis services to all in need, whether residents or visitors. For over six years following that, I worked with children and families providing in-home psychotherapy, both individually with the identified client as well as family-based with parents and siblings. Just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, I found online options to work from home, providing psychotherapy virtually, and have been doing so ever since. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, and hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, I am Amber. I attended THE Southern University in Baton Rouge to obtain my undergrad and I attended the University of Texas to obtain my Masters degree in Social work. The majority of my clinical experience has been in mental health and addiction. Three words that describe my therapeutic style are: Empathetic, Insightful and Integrative. I choose Empathetic because I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients. I actively listen to their concerns and validate their emotions. I consider my therapy style is insightful as well. As I listen to clients, I look for patterns, meaning and connections within the clients experience's. This insight helps me to assist clients with identifying and exploring the root cause of their challenges; this leads to personal growth and positive change. Lastly, I am Integrative. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor my approach to the individual needs of my client.

With more than two decades of experience, I've been privileged to work in a variety of settings including psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, domestic violence shelters, juvenile justice, forensic facilities & child advocacy centers. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work was partnering with local law enforcement & district attorneys as an expert witness in trauma & abuse cases, conducting 300+ forensic interviews across metro Atlanta. I served as an Executive Board Member on the State of GA Sexual Offender Registration Review Board for 10+ years & conducted workshops on a range of topics, including relationships, parenting, stress management & child abuse. I help countless people "figure it out". Whether you're battling anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or struggling with relationships, I believe you are the expert of your life. Together we'll work towards finding solutions to the problems that are holding you back, so you can focus on living your best life.

Life can sometimes feel like a scattered puzzle: pieces of emotions, thoughts, and experiences that don’t seem to fit together. It can be overwhelming to navigate alone, but with the right support, clarity and healing are possible. I specialize in working with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including mood-related problems, sleep problems, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, addiction to substances, and trauma. My goal is to help you find understanding and support as you work through these struggles. My approach is holistic and client-centered, meeting you where you are with active listening, validation, and a focus on your strengths. In our first few sessions, you can expect a safe, compassionate space where we explore your concerns, clarify your goals, and begin developing strategies for healing and personal growth. I am passionate about this work because I believe in the worth and dignity of every person. My goal is to help people find relief, healing, and a way forward. I am licensed in Louisiana, Colorado, Maine and Vermont. If you’re ready to begin your journey, I’m here to help.

Hello my name is Margaret Banks. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with people from many different backgrounds. I have worked in crisis intervention, healthcare, corrections, and private practice. Are you feeling unhappy, unmotivated, or simply stuck in life? I want to help you get on track to feeling better. I have helped people facing challenges of grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication issues, codependency, self-esteem, forgiveness, and infidelity, just to name a few. I understand finding the right therapist to assist you through this difficult time in your life is very important. If you don’t have a connection with your therapist, you won’t be able to make the progress that you are hoping to achieve. I believe exploring childhood experiences are very important simply because those experiences can often shape adulthood experiences. If there are unresolved issues from the past, people may find themselves engaging in reoccurring maladaptive behaviors until those issues are resolved. I want to collaborate with you and offer guidance through the journey of healing.
