Counseling - Leta Bell, LPC, LCMHC

Every individual carries a unique story. To honor that, I blend conventional clinical methods with alternative approaches, drawing on a variety of styles to suit your specific goals. My work is grounded in neuro-psychotherapy and attachment healing, ensuring we are working with the brain’s natural ability to rewire and repair.

To help North Carolina & Oklahoma clients resolve both current challenges and long-standing patterns, I regularly incorporate:

Healing Memories: Safely processing past events to reduce their current power.
Ego State & Parts Work: Understanding the different aspects of your personality to create internal harmony.
Somatic Therapy: Releasing stored tension and trauma from the body.
Solution-Focused Therapy: Providing supportive, practical feedback to help you achieve tangible life goals.

Insurance: Upon request, I can provide a Superbill for you to be reimbursed directly from your insurance provider. This involves paying for therapy services at the time of service, and you would submit a claim to your insurance provider for direct reimbursement.

I am a licensed counselor specializing in individual and couples psychotherapy. Currently, I am in private practice working with a broad spectrum of clients. Among my areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), grief, addictions and relationship issues.

With over 20 years counseling experience, I provide mindful psychotherapy to help people move through pain to self-love by assisting them in healing their emotional wounds while providing tools for personal insight and self-help.

My two Master Degrees in Clinical Psychology and Humanistic Psychology provide a strong foundation as a Life Coach. I enjoy coaching anyone wanting to expand their life in becoming the best version of (them) Self while providing understanding, insight and encouragement along the way. I will assist you on a psychological/emotional/spiritual level and help you examine who you are and what you truly desire so you can ease-fully expand into your full potential.

This conversation is tailored to meet you where you are, ensuring a supportive and comfortable introduction to therapy, especially if this is your first time working with a therapist.

2. Scheduling Your First Session

When scheduling your first session, we will review availability and book a time that works best for you. You will also receive important details such as the office location, contact information, and instructions for accessing telehealth sessions if you choose to meet virtually.

3. Ongoing Therapy Sessions

We will work together to develop a personalized treatment plan that reflects your unique goals, needs, and circumstances. This plan will guide our work and may be adjusted over time as your progress evolves. Sessions will continue at a frequency that best supports your growth, whether weekly, biweekly, or at another pace that feels appropriate for you. Throughout this process, we will regularly check in on your progress, address any current challenges, and ensure that therapy remains aligned with what you need most at each stage of your journey.

Anxiety & Depression Therapy is a form of mental health treatment designed to help people manage symptoms of anxiety disorders and depressive disorders, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthier thinking and behavior patterns. It provides a structured, supportive space where individuals can better understand the thoughts, emotions, and life experiences that contribute to distress, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapy often focuses on identifying unhelpful or distorted thinking patterns, such as excessive worry, self-criticism, or catastrophic thinking, and replacing them with more balanced and realistic perspectives. It may also include learning practical coping strategies to manage stress, reduce avoidance behaviors, and improve daily functioning.

Trauma Therapy is a form of mental health treatment that helps individuals process and recover from distressing or overwhelming experiences. It focuses on reducing the emotional and psychological impact of trauma symptoms, including flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, and hypervigilance.

Through evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), or talk therapy, individuals learn to safely explore traumatic memories, reframe negative beliefs, and regain a sense of safety and control. The goal is to support healing, improve emotional regulation, and help individuals rebuild their sense of stability and well-being.

Relationship Therapy is a form of counseling that helps individuals or partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen emotional connection. It provides a supportive space to explore relationship challenges such as trust issues, recurring arguments, emotional distance, or differences in needs and expectations.

The goal is to build more supportive, balanced, and satisfying relationships, whether between romantic partners, family members, or others, while fostering healthier communication and long-term connection.
