About LinTiya
LinTiya McCleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem, and depression. She talks directly about what is causing strain and helps people find clearer next steps.
Her work tends to be practical and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often include noticing patterns, trying new responses, and setting small goals between meetings.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods. That means she helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and centers the conversation on each person’s values and priorities. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing appear in her practice as well to support motivation and focus.
LinTiya often addresses attachment and communication problems, control issues, and the aftermath of separation or divorce. She helps with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and money. Clinical concerns listed include mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and patterns linked to narcissism.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She invites clients to try small, manageable changes and to track what helps. People who prefer clear steps, real-world skills, and regular feedback may find this approach useful.
How her approaches work for online sessions
LinTiya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete steps - tracking thoughts, practicing new responses, and setting brief between-session tasks. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work; it emphasizes noticing difficult feelings, clarifying values, and committing to actions that matter even with hard emotions present.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before to decide which methods to try. That collaborative settling on a plan can change as work progresses and new needs appear.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If a client prefers fewer visual demands, audio-only sessions can reduce bandwidth and screen time, while video can help with reading facial cues; the therapist will help choose the best practical option for each person.
