About
As a Black woman clinical mental health counselor and community care provider, I create space with clients, especially those carrying the weight of relational and systemic stress, to explore their emotions, challenge harmful thoughts, reconnect with their bodies, and build lives rooted in dignity and collective care.
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor associate (LCMHCA) with 9 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, substance use, grief, identity development, and relational challenges. I value working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and recognize how intersecting identities and systemic factors can influence wellness.
I hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from North Carolina A&T State University. My approach is integrated and trauma-informed, drawing from person-centered therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and relational-cultural theory. I also incorporate cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, expressive arts, and somatic techniques.
Therapy is a collaborative space where you can explore emotions, build self-awareness, and move toward meaningful change. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel seen and understood. If you are ready to begin or continue your wellness journey, I invite you to schedule a session.

Jean Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 23 years of direct clinical services and social work business management experience in a variety of settings. These include community mental health, hospital-based crisis stabilization, long-term care, hospice, and substance use outpatient and residential treatment. Jean is credentialed/paneled with Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and most major private insurance companies. Jean places importance on working with a diverse population of individuals and has knowledge and experience that includes respect for, sensitivity to, and understanding of cultural differences. Jean's direct services practice areas are individual and group mental/behavioral health services, substance use treatment services, life skills coaching and education, LGBTQ+ issues (particularly working with transgender and gender fluid individuals), domestic violence, women's issues, adolescents (particularly girls), and grief and aging issues.
Jean is a graduate of the inaugural class (1997-1999) of the Joint MSW (JMSW) program at North Carolina A & T State University and the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, where she received her MSW degree in 1999. Jean received a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in psychology and a minor in sociology at the University of Houston in 1996. It was Jean's own experience with mental/behavioral health issues that led her to social work and clinical therapy as a profession. This is a second career for Jean, as she worked in Business Management in the oilfield industry prior to making the decision to return to school to complete her Bachelor of Science and Master of Social Work degrees. Since receiving her MSW degree, Jean has worked in a variety of roles, including direct service and business management for public health and behavioral health organizations. Jean has experience in providing a broad range of treatment interventions including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, experiential therapy, and structured interventions.
At some point in life, most people face challenges that can make day-to-day functioning difficult, whether that be mental health, behavioral health, life stressors, loss, or grief. Jean's own life experience, coupled with her experience as a clinical therapist, makes her particularly suited to work with a diverse population of individuals. She does note that while she cannot "fix" you, she can work with you to help you identify your issues and find solutions to help you fix yourself. If you are ready to do that, schedule an appointment with her today!

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
Many people who suffer from anger issues are weary of anger counseling. They feel like they’ve tried everything they can to get over their anger. They feel helpless and at the end of their rope.
They’re tired of dealing with negative consequences. These are all valid and understandable feelings but the truth really is simple: anger counseling at Thriveworks in Greensboro can help.
For many people, the first step of anger counseling can make a huge difference. Essentially, clients must come to understand that the issue is not the anger itself.
The issue is in the client’s reaction to their anger. Remember that anger isn’t bad by itself – it’s an emotion. Everyone experiences it. The issue is in the way it’s handled and reacted to.
One of the reasons people often can’t solve their anger problems on their own is that they can’t see the forest for the trees. They look only at the direct trigger and assume this is what’s making them angry. For example, they may be angry at their spouse and only look at what their spouse has done wrong.
An anger counselor can help them look more closely at the simple issue and unpack some of the complex issues. For example, a person who’s mad at their spouse for spilling a glass of milk may actually be mad at their spouse for something else entirely – or it may be that their spouse is simply the one around and the anger is stemming from somewhere else entirely.
There’s plenty of generic, general advice out there on how people can deal with anger: count to ten, punch a pillow, take a walk, etc. Some of these tips may work for some people but the truth is that none of them will work for everyone.
That is because the cause of anger is not the same for everyone—but a Thriveworks counselor can help you find the treatment style and approach that works best for you.
