    About LinTiya

    LinTiya McCleary is a licensed professional counselor with clinical licenses as an LPC and LCMHC and five years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns. She aims to offer a calm, respectful space for people ready to make change.

    Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring conversations to each person. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and builds on what already works for them. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people clarify values and take small, workable steps.

    Sessions often focus on practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and conflict. LinTiya helps people practice communication, set boundaries, and investigate patterns that keep them stuck. She supports work on attachment concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and life-direction questions.

    Her background includes helping people through divorce and separation, money and financial stress, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also works with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and issues related to narcissism. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

    LinTiya keeps plans aligned with each person’s goals and pace. She invites clients to start by identifying one small change and seeing how that grows into healthier routines and clearer priorities.

  2. How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people clarify their reasons for change and find internal motivation. It is useful for someone who feels stuck or unsure about next steps and wants to build momentum.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and committing to small actions that reflect those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and issues where avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people make choices that fit their goals.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is an ongoing process that may shift as progress is made.

    The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fewer travel demands so sessions fit into busy days. It can also make shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings simpler to maintain. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available online and in-person options before booking so arrangements match your needs and routine.
