Who Are We the Best Fit For?
L & B Counseling is a good fit for children age 8+, teens, young adults, and adults who want practical, supportive therapy focused on making everyday life feel more manageable.
Our clinicians work with clients dealing with:
- Anxiety and overthinking
- Depression and low motivation
- ADHD and executive-function challenges
- Stress, burnout, and feeling overwhelmed
- Perfectionism
- Trauma and PTSD-related symptoms
- Grief and loss
- LGBTQ+ concerns
- School and academic pressure
- Major life transitions
- Emotional-regulation difficulties
We are especially well suited for people who want therapy that is active, collaborative, and practical. Our therapists do more than simply listen — they help clients understand what is contributing to their symptoms, identify patterns, and build tools they can use at home, school, work, and in relationships.
We work with clients who may be high functioning on the outside but feel anxious, exhausted, distracted, overwhelmed, or stuck internally. We also support children and teens who are struggling with attention, school pressure, anxiety, mood changes, or big emotional reactions.
Location, Hours, and Insurance
Appointments are available Monday through Friday, with both in-person therapy at our Ballantyne office (10700 Sikes Place, Suite 325, Charlotte, NC 28277) and virtual therapy throughout North Carolina.
Many of our clinicians are in-network with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBS NC) and Aetna, and select clinicians accept Healthy Blue Medicaid. Self-pay options are also available.
When Another Provider May Be a Better Fit
We believe in being upfront. We may not be the best fit if you are looking for:
- Medication management. L & B Counseling provides therapy and does not prescribe medication. Our therapists can coordinate with your primary care provider, pediatrician, or psychiatric prescriber.
- Therapy for children under 8.
- Crisis or intensive care. If you need a higher level of care than weekly outpatient therapy, we can help point you toward appropriate resources.
- Sessions while located outside North Carolina. Licensing rules generally require you to be in North Carolina at the time of a virtual session.
If we are not the right fit, we will tell you before your first appointment and help you find someone who is.
Not Sure Where to Start?
