About LinTiya

LinTiya McCleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with five years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

LinTiya helps people talk through everyday pressures and relationship tensions. She addresses communication problems, attachment issues, and control concerns in clear, direct sessions. She also supports people dealing with separation and divorce, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

Her background includes methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to help people notice patterns and test small changes. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than jargon or long theory talks.

LinTiya keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She will listen and help shape a plan based on what matters most to each person. For people navigating money worries, life purpose questions, or mood concerns, she blends skills practice with conversations about values and choices.

Adults who are managing social anxiety, narcissism in relationships, post-traumatic stress, or women-specific concerns can bring those issues into sessions. Language of practice is English, and she works under the SC LPC and NC LCMHC credentials listed. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions. It helps when feeling stuck or overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s concerns and uses reflective listening to help people find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. LinTiya will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting plans over time rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they save travel time, make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on need. The focus is on practical tools and conversations that can be used between meetings to reduce stress and improve communication at home.
