Greetings! My name is Adrienne Forney I am licensed in North Carolina and South Carolina with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions (heroin, cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, prescription drugs), family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I also have significant experience working with individuals who have been incarcerated due to various circumstances. My warm, empathetic approach to counseling helps others to reach their full potential and become stronger individuals. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to working with you!

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.
