About Tawnya
Tawnya Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, addiction, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people regain balance and clarity.
She draws on many years working across settings such as substance abuse treatment, crisis services, domestic violence support, and youth corrections. Those experiences shaped how she listens and responds in one-on-one sessions.
Background and approach
Tawnya focuses most often on individual counseling and tailors each conversation to the person in front of her. Her style blends client-centered care with problem-solving techniques. She pays attention to how clients view themselves and the world.
That helps identify beliefs and habits that get in the way of progress. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and emotionally-focused methods to help people manage emotions and change unhelpful thinking. Sessions aim to build real coping skills for day-to-day stress and for longer-term patterns like addiction or relationship conflict.
Tawnya emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions. She helps clients test small changes, notice results, and adjust plans. Her goal is to help people find clearer purpose and better ways to move forward.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong feelings that affect relationships and decision making. It focuses on naming emotions, understanding patterns, and creating new ways of connecting or responding when feelings run high.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance. The therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead, helping them explore values, goals, and what matters most in their life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and experiments to shift thinking and build skills for managing anxiety, low mood, addiction triggers, and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick methods and try them for a few sessions, adjusting based on how well the work fits the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from providers. Video calls make it possible to have fuller conversations face to face. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates, try brief coping plans, and keep momentum between sessions. These options make it simpler to practice new skills and stay connected to care.
