FAQ
Q: Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
A: Yes. Research consistently shows that telehealth for ACT and DBT is just as effective as traditional office visits, with the added benefit of being more consistent due to fewer scheduling barriers.
Q: How do I know if ACT or DBT is the "right" fit for me?
A: If you feel like you’ve "talked your problems to death" in past therapy but haven't seen real-life change, these modalities are likely a great fit. ACT is excellent for those feeling stuck or paralyzed by "what ifs," while DBT is ideal if you struggle with intense emotional swings or relationship conflict. During our initial consult, we’ll discuss your specific goals to ensure our approach aligns with your needs.
Q: Do you accept Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC?
A: Yes. We are in-network with most BCBSNC plans. Because every plan is different, we recommend a quick 15-minute consult so we can verify your specific behavioral health benefits.
Q: Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
A: We understand the North Carolina work schedule. Contact us to discuss our current availability for after-hours sessions.
Q: Do I have to be physically located in North Carolina during our sessions?
A: Yes. Due to state licensing regulations, you must be physically present within the state of North Carolina at the time of our session. Whether you are at home in Durham, in your office in Charlotte, or traveling to the Smokies, as long as you are within state lines, we can meet.
