I am a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 15 years of experience. I have supported individuals facing depression, anxiety, bipolar spectrum disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorder, dementia-related conditions, and substance use challenges. I provide virtual care and bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to every session, ensuring that those I work with feel supported, valued, and empowered.
I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Hunter College. My clinical approach includes psychotropic medication management along with adjunctive therapies. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, supportive therapy, and trauma- and emotion-focused interventions to best meet each client’s needs. .
My clients can expect me to be a knowledgeable and attentive listener who is warm, understanding, and supportive. I strive to create a safe and collaborative space where we can work together to achieve lasting emotional growth and stability.

Tori Sweeting is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nineteen (19) years of experience in the field of mental health to include ten (10) years working with Veterans. She has the knowledge and skills to successfully assist individuals with a variety of diagnoses—PTSD; anxiety & mood disorders; and psychosis—placing emphasis on the development of interpersonal and distress tolerance skills to effectively manage one's emotions. She assists individuals in identifying their vulnerabilities that often trigger negative cognitions or thought patterns with subsequent anxiety or depressive symptoms, i.e., the need to develop an understanding that our cognitions usually exist in categories; thus, indicating the need to successfully un-blend these thoughts to manage our maladaptive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Tori obtained her Master of Social Work (MSW) with honors from UNC-Charlotte. She has experience working with a diverse population of individuals including those having difficulty coping with the rigors of parenting and addressing the importance of creating a sense of self-worth in one’s ability to balance work, family, and individual time. She holds two (2) certifications, one (1) as a trauma professional and one (1) in dialectical behavior therapy.
One of the most difficult challenges is to accept the need to change our life’s story or narrative, the "Who I Am," as we transition from adolescence to adulthood to old age. As our awareness of self increases, our view of the world and the people around us change. With change comes motivation, and with motivation comes the perseverance and energy to become the person whom we desire to be. In my work with you, we will develop an individualized goal and treatment plan to ensure the achievement and accomplishment of your goals; thus, encouraging the narrative that you desire.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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.
When people try to handle their anger problems on their own, they often believe that the solution is to find ways not to feel anger. While this may seem like a good goal the reality is that anger typically can’t be avoided altogether: it’s an emotion that everyone feels.
So if you can’t avoid anger there’s no hope, right? Wrong. The reality is that your top goal should be to find ways to deal with anger in healthy ways. That’s where anger counseling comes in. At Thriveworks Counseling & Coaching we can provide assistance for you to work through these issues and put an end to the consequences of your anger. Reach out today for help.
The blame shouldn’t be placed on the anger itself but on the behaviors that follow it. Whether it’s mild irritation or extreme rage, there are always options. You don’t have to respond aggressively or violently. You don’t have to feel out of control.
An anger counselor can start by assessing your anger. He or she will look at factors like the triggers for your anger, the frequency with which you feel anger, and the levels of your anger. They can then find the path forward that will deal with your specific causes of anger.
Imagine if you could respond to situations that frustrate you without getting out of control. Imagine if you could remain relaxed, peaceful, and calm as you express why something is frustrating to you. In anger counseling you’ll get a personalized approach but it will likely involve work to help you recognize your triggers.
When you know what your triggers are you can take different actions before the situation gets out of hand. You can be assertive and express your needs and you can use the specific skills you learn in anger counseling to manage these triggers.
You don’t have to feel out of control. You don’t have to worry your friends and family. Thriveworks Charlotte Counseling & Coaching is here to help.
We offer our clients evening and weekend session options, provide same-week sessions, accept most major insurances, and offer additional benefits. Reach out today to get started.
