About
Having spent years helping others navigate life's challenges while managing my own personal and professional responsibilities, I understand that seeking support takes courage and strength.
Hi, I'm Tency Weatherspoon, a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience helping adolescents, adults, and couples navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem challenges. I take a compassionate, practical approach to therapy, helping clients build on their strengths, develop effective coping skills, and create realistic goals that support healing, growth, and lasting change.
I take a compassionate, practical approach to therapy, integrating Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, and CBT techniques. Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they gain insight, build coping skills, and develop realistic strategies for meaningful change.
Life can be challenging, but seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you're ready to take the next step toward healing, growth, and positive change, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Being a person that has experienced personal struggles, I understand the ability that we have as individuals to learn the right tools to overcome any circumstance, therefore giving way to the ability to lead effective, fulfilling lives.
I'm Leslie Cain, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty years of experience working with people of all ages experiencing life-altering challenges including grief, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, substance abuse, and poor coping skills. I've found that the trusting relationship between therapist and client helps us uncover unhealthy patterns and reframe our thoughts toward healing. This process isn't always comfortable—our minds resist retraining. True healing comes when we face hard truths about ourselves. With understanding of your goals and commitment, we can create meaningful change.
In my practice, I use several techniques—Person-Centered and Solution-Focused—but I've found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) most useful. It treats depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems, and eating disorders by addressing faulty thinking patterns and learned behaviors.
I know that whatever challenges you're facing can feel heavy, but it takes courage and you don't have to carry it alone. I'm here to help you sort through obstacles and move forward together toward joy and peace. You've got this, and I've got you. I can be the flashlight to shine light on your challenges. Schedule your session today!

As an individual who has various life experiences, I am empathetic and able to provide a "safe" space for others to process overwhelming feelings and emotions.
I am Venessia Johnson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who is passionate about helping individuals improve their emotional well-being and quality of life. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, anger and other emotional challenges. My clients often have goals such as learning how to better process and control their emotional challenges. They also seek tools and skills to manage anger, increase self-esteem and develop coping skills. Others come to therapy because they want to become a better version of themselves-not only for themselves but also for the people they love.
In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's needs. CBT is utilized to help clients develop healthier thought patterns. Additionally, DBT is utilized to provide tools for emotional regulation and healthier relationships. Other practical therapeutic approaches include "Journaling, Mindfulness, and development of Coping Skills".
Taking the first step toward wholeness, healing and resilience can feel overwhelming. However, I invite you to take the next step by scheduling an appointment. Together, we can create a safe space to explore what you're experiencing, identify where you want to grow, and work toward a healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling life.

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.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
