I would describe myself as a therapist who is laid-back, charismatic, warm, and engaging. I firmly believe it is an honor to be part of someone’s journey, and my work ethic reflects that belief in my practice. I want my clients to feel comfortable showing up as their authentic selves without feeling judged or like they have to “perform” in therapy. If you have ever seen Issa Rae in Insecure, then that is probably the closest representation of what I am like in session! I am conversational, relatable, and not afraid to laugh with my clients when the moment calls for it. At the same time, I know when to slow down, sit with the difficult stuff, and have the deeper conversations that may be uncomfortable but necessary. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and enjoyable, and that you do not have to spend every session crying to make meaningful progress. I am also genuinely curious about my clients and want to understand the person beyond their presenting concern. I care about their relationships, experiences, culture, values, and the experiences that have shaped how they see themselves and the world around them. I view therapy as a collaborative process rather than a space where I simply tell someone what to do. My goal is to create an environment where clients feel heard, understood, supported, and challenged when needed. Ultimately, I want my clients to leave sessions feeling like they could be completely themselves, while also walking away with something meaningful to think about, practice, or carry into their everyday lives.

I am a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist who believes that therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable, understood and able to be yourself. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families, and I strive to create a supportive environment where even difficult topics feel easier to talk about. I also believe there is room for appropriate humor, during therapy, sometimes being able to smile or laugh together can make the hard work feel a little less overwhelming. What you see in session, the laid back, goofy but can be blunt person is who you'd meet on the street if you saw me in public. Serious when serious is needed.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, committed to helping people achieve their individual goals. People come to therapy for many reasons; one I've heard many people give is, to gain a new perspective and to have a safe place where they can vent their frustrations without judgment. Drawing on my counseling experience, family advocacy, community service, and educational work, I strive to help people recognize their inherent worth, build on their existing strengths, navigate conflict, and develop practical skills for lasting personal and professional growth. While I am known for using a direct, compassionate, and collaborative approach, I believe meaningful change begins when people feel safe, seen, heard, and equipped to move forward.

Life can be a lot sometimes. Between work, relationships, family expectations, social pressures, and trying to figure out who you are and where you're headed, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Maybe you're constantly overthinking, struggling to set boundaries, feeling emotionally drained, or wondering why you feel stuck even when everything seems fine on the outside. You might be the person everyone counts on, but rarely give yourself the same care and attention. I'm Yilian Herrera, a licensed mental health professional, and I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or pretending you have it all figured out. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, build healthier patterns, and create meaningful changes that actually feel right for you. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, burnout, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in their own thoughts, or caught in the cycle of putting everyone else first. You don't have to wait until you hit rock bottom to prioritize your mental health. You deserve a space to work through what's weighing on you, reconnect with yourself, and figure out what moving forward looks like, one step at a time.

Have you tried therapy before and walked away feeling misunderstood? Have you worried that you wouldn't be able to share everything about yourself in session, fearing judgement? When we don’t fit the norms around us, it’s pretty easy for anxiety and depression to wreak havoc on our mental health and self-esteem, making it more difficult to feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable. Having struggled with alienation myself, I’ve gravitated to helping people who experience this too. Although this can be something anyone goes through, I often find myself supporting people who are neurodiverse, LGBQTA+, ethically nonmonogamous, those with “alternative” faiths, and those in recovery. In addition to supporting specific identities, I help people reduce their stress and anxiety, adjust to uncomfortable changes, climb out of depression, and build the confidence, insight, and judgment they need to improve themselves to impact their life. I pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable environment where you can express yourself freely, so we both learn more about who you are and what you need. Whether we work together or not, I'm really glad you're taking the time to consider therapy and care for yourself <3

Being the one who holds everything together can be exhausting, especially when your own needs go unnoticed. Perhaps you hold yourself to impossible standards, constantly questioning whether you've done enough. Maybe you're easily irritated, quick to anger, or carrying resentment you don't fully understand. You might avoid conflict, struggle to say no, or feel responsible for keeping everyone else happy. Or perhaps your struggles are quieter, showing up as harsh self-criticism, shame, or a persistent feeling that you're somehow not good enough. My practice focuses on supporting women navigating these experiences and the emotional exhaustion, relationship difficulties, and disconnection from self that may accompany them. Sometimes, understanding how we feel today involves exploring the experiences and relationships that have shaped us. Difficult childhood experiences, emotional neglect, abuse, painful relationships, and ongoing stress can influence how we view ourselves, manage emotions, and connect with others. Through a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach, we can explore the patterns that may be contributing to your struggles while developing healthier ways of responding to life's challenges. Together, we can work toward strengthening emotional awareness, establishing boundaries, building self-trust, and cultivating a more compassionate relationship with yourself. You deserve more than simply getting through each day. Therapy can be a space to begin moving beyond survival toward a life where you feel more grounded, connected, and able to thrive.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through life’s challenges. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experiences in counseling, where I discovered the power of having a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal and grow. That experience shaped my belief that therapy is not just about addressing problems, but about uncovering strengths, building resilience, and learning how to live with greater peace and purpose. I specialize in working with individuals managing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship struggles. My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also integrate mindfulness techniques to help clients slow down, become more aware of their emotions, and respond in healthier ways. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you in your journey, offering tools, insight, and encouragement. Clients who work with me often notice they gain greater clarity, stronger coping strategies, and more confidence in navigating relationships, boundaries, and personal goals. My ultimate aim is to create a safe space where you feel truly heard, validated, and empowered to make lasting changes in your life. I currently offer sessions during weekday daytime hours, which works well for clients with flexible schedules or those seeking therapy during standard business hours.

Hey, I’m Mariah! I work with women who look like they have it together on the outside but internally feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. A lot of my clients are the ones everyone depends on. They’re successful, self-aware, high-achieving, and used to pushing through. But underneath that, they’re overthinking everything, emotionally drained, struggling in relationships, and wondering why they still feel so stuck despite years of trying to “work on themselves.” Many have done therapy before and left frustrated because they gained insight but nothing actually changed. My approach is honest, direct, and focused on getting to the root of what’s keeping you stuck — not just helping you manage symptoms. I help clients understand the deeper patterns behind their anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional burnout, and relationship struggles so they can stop surviving life on autopilot. I’m not the therapist who just sits quietly and nods for 50 minutes. I’ll challenge you, connect the dots, and help you make real shifts in the way you relate to yourself and others. I also offer private pay therapy for clients looking for more personalized care without the limitations insurance can place on treatment. Clients are able to use HSA/FSA funds to pay for services and are able to receive partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.

Welcome! My name is Kalyn and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Delaware, with a Master of Science in Human Development from Virginia Tech. While my background is rooted in marriage and family therapy, my current practice focuses entirely on working with individuals. I am not accepting new couples or joint therapy clients at this time. As an LMFT, I specialize in using a systemic, relational lens to help individual adults navigate relationship issues, communication challenges, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and personal boundaries. I help clients explore how their relational patterns, history, and environment impact their current well-being—giving you dedicated space to do deep relational work individually. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and strengths-based. I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family systems therapy, and supportive therapy to create an open, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your emotions and build practical tools for lasting change.

Do you find yourself overthinking, questioning your decisions, or repeating patterns that leave you feeling frustrated or emotionally exhausted? Perhaps you've been carrying the weight of past experiences while trying to manage everything happening in your life today. I'm a mental health counselor licensed in Florida and South Carolina. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and significant life transitions. My therapeutic style is compassionate, direct, and solution-focused. I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about problems. It's an opportunity to understand yourself, recognize patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to create meaningful change. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore difficult experiences at a pace that respects your needs. When appropriate, I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process distressing experiences. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen your confidence, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

You've built the career✔️ You've shown up for your family✔️ You've handled all the responsibilities, solved the problems, and kept moving forward even when things got heavy✔️ From the outside, it looks like you have it all together; but lately, something feels off. You feel stuck. Maybe your relationship isn't where you want it to be. Maybe anxiety has become YOUR constant companion. You may be navigating a divorce/breakup, a career change, or simply wondering how you got so far from the person you used to be. The one thing you have the most clarity on is that you've spent years taking care of everyone else, so you know you're capable and resilient. But you also know, you don't want to keep living like 'this.' I help high-achieving adults navigate relationship challenges, anxiety, and life transitions so they can reconnect with who they are, communicate more effectively, and move forward in life with more confidence.

We help you navigate insurance benefits so you can focus on what matters most – your mental health. Want to know what therapy might cost with your insurance?

Understanding anxiety treatment options in South Carolina

Anxiety treatment has evolved significantly over the years, and today there are numerous evidence-based approaches that can effectively help you manage and overcome anxiety symptoms. The good news is that you have options – from traditional talk therapy methods to newer, innovative techniques, there’s likely a treatment approach that will resonate with your learning style and personal preferences. Below are some of the most common and effective therapeutic approaches our South Carolina therapists use to help clients find relief from anxiety.

Examples of evidence-based approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A commonly used method for anxiety treatment, CBT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns while developing practical coping strategies. Many of our South Carolina therapists specialize in CBT techniques specifically adapted for anxiety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Particularly effective for anxiety with emotional regulation challenges, DBT combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help you manage intense emotions and reduce anxiety symptoms.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Incorporating meditation and awareness of the present moment, this approach helps you develop a healthier relationship with anxious thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT focuses on accepting anxiety while committing to actions aligned with your values, helping you live a fulfilling life despite anxious feelings.

Specialized anxiety treatment areas

Our South Carolina therapists have expertise in treating various anxiety-related issues, including:

  • Generalized anxiety disorder: Persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations
  • Social anxiety: Fear of social situations and being judged by others
  • Panic disorder: Recurring panic attacks and fear of future episodes
  • Specific phobias: Intense fear of particular objects, situations, or activities

How to find the right anxiety therapist in South Carolina

What to look for in an anxiety therapist

Credentials and experience: Look for licensed therapists (e.g. LMFT, LICSW/LCSW, LPCC, or psychologists) with specific training in anxiety. When searching the Grow Therapy online therapy platform, you will see a clear display of each therapist’s credentials, years of experience, and specialty areas.

Therapeutic approach alignment: Consider which therapeutic approaches resonate with you. Some people prefer structured, skills-based approaches like CBT, while others may benefit from more exploratory or mindfulness-based methods.

To find a therapist by treatment method, you can use the “Treatment Methods” filter above. You may also double check a therapist’s treatment methods by viewing the “My treatment method” section on their profile page. To learn more about the types of therapy available, check out our guide on the different types of therapy.

Availability and scheduling: Choose a therapist whose schedule aligns with yours. Many of our South Carolina providers offer both virtual and in-person sessions, providing flexibility for your busy lifestyle.

Insurance acceptance: Verify that your preferred therapist accepts your insurance plan. We make this easy by showing accepted insurances for each therapist.

Overcoming common barriers to anxiety treatment

Cost concerns: Many people worry about the cost of therapy, but with insurance coverage and a large network of in-person and online therapists on Grow Therapy who accept various plans, treatment can be more affordable than you think. We’re here to help you understand your benefits and find cost-effective options.

Time constraints: Anxiety often makes daily tasks feel overwhelming, and finding time for therapy can seem impossible. Our flexible scheduling options, including evening and weekend appointments, plus virtual sessions, make it easier to prioritize your mental health.

Stigma and privacy: It’s natural to feel hesitant about seeking help, but remember that anxiety is a treatable mental health condition. At Grow Therapy, we have built our online therapy platform to prioritize your privacy and connect you with understanding professionals who create safe, judgment-free spaces.

Finding the right fit: Not every therapist is the right match for every person, and that’s okay. Our detailed provider profiles and filtering options help you find someone who aligns with your preferences and needs. If you find the provider you choose is not the right fit, Grow Therapy makes it easy to switch and find a new provider who better fits your needs and what you’re seeking in your care.

Getting started with anxiety therapy in South Carolina

What to expect in your first session

Your first therapy session is designed to help you and your therapist get to know each other and begin understanding your anxiety experiences. Your therapist will likely ask about:

  • Your current anxiety symptoms and triggers
  • How anxiety impacts your daily life
  • Your personal and family mental health history
  • Your goals for treatment
  • Any previous therapy experiences

This initial session is also your opportunity to ask questions about the therapeutic process, your therapist’s approach, and what you can expect moving forward. To learn more about the therapy process, check out our guide to going to therapy.

Preparing for your anxiety treatment journey

Questions to Ask Your Therapist:

  • What is your experience helping people who have signs of anxiety?
  • What therapeutic approaches do you use for anxiety?
  • How long does treatment typically take?
  • What can I do between sessions to support my progress?
  • How will we measure progress?

Setting realistic expectations: Anxiety treatment is a process, not a quick fix. While many people experience some relief early in treatment, developing lasting coping skills and seeing significant symptom reduction typically takes time and consistent effort.

Developing coping strategies: Your therapist will work with you to develop personalized coping strategies that you can use both in and outside of your sessions. These might include breathing exercises, grounding techniques, challenging unhelpful thoughts, or mindfulness practices.

Insurance and affordability for anxiety treatment in South Carolina

Making therapy accessible

Insurance coverage options: Many major insurance plans cover mental health treatment, including therapy for anxiety. Our South Carolina therapists accept a wide range of insurance providers, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and many others. Insurance providers do vary by state, however, so please verify that your insurance is available in South Carolina.

Understanding your benefits: We help you understand your mental health benefits, including copays, deductibles, and coverage limits. This transparency allows you to make informed decisions about your care. To learn more about how therapy and insurance work together, check out our guide to understanding insurance for therapy.

Additional support options: For those without insurance or with limited coverage, many of our therapists offer cash options, and employee assistance programs (EAPs) through your workplace may also provide free or low-cost counseling sessions.
