About
Social work chose me as a way to live out my purpose of helping others find hope, healing, and strength through connection and faith.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience. I’m licensed in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. My experience began in a dual-diagnosis hospital with adolescents facing chronic illness and mental health challenges. Over the years, I’ve supported individuals of all ages navigating autism, depression, anxiety, personality and mood disorders, adjustment concerns, and grief, with each experience shaping me into the therapist I am today.
I earned a Master’s in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. My approach is rooted in empathy and person-centered care, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients build skills, find balance, and foster growth. I’m committed to creating a safe, compassionate space for healing and transformation.
Therapy is your journey, and I’m here to walk with you every step of the way. I’m excited to help you move toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. Whenever you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to support you along the way.

Change is a life-long journey requiring acceptance and commitment to motivate oneself towards change.
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.

Career counseling, sometimes called career coaching, helps individuals make informed career decisions. This type of counseling is led by one of our Charlotte therapists who is trained to provide career development support.
Career counseling works to help you navigate your professional career and offer valuable information, such as required skill sets and/or education, regarding a particular position you may be considering. The following are common focuses of conversation that will help your career counselor best help you:
Career counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Career counseling can last for weeks, months, or even years. It all depends on the goals that you’re looking to accomplish and whether you continue to want/need a counselor to help you reach your goals. Either way, our career counselors are here and ready to help you get on the right track.
Regardless of your reason for seeking counseling, Thriveworks Charlotte career counselors will help you consider the most effective way to move from your current circumstances toward your future goals. The majority of your day—of your life—is spent at work. Let us help you make the most of that time. Reach out to Thriveworks Charlotte to schedule career counseling.
There are many reasons why people find themselves in need of career counseling. A recent college graduate, someone who recently lost their job, a mother reentering the workforce after decades of child rearing; anyone in these situations has a lot of decisions to make regarding their future.
The mention of a career counselor often brings to mind high school guidance counselors who administer an aptitude test, the results of which are often long-forgotten by the time the student must make a career choice. From the time they’re old enough to talk, we ask children, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The answers are varied when they’re young—astronaut, farmer, deep sea diver—but without help, as those children grow they are often left listing the same half a dozen popular choices—doctor, lawyer, teacher, accountant, nurse, and law enforcement.
The fact is, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of careers out there, but sometimes we need a little help finding one that best suits our interests and talents. These many options are exciting, but they can also be completely overwhelming.
Thriveworks Charlotte career counselors will help you find the job that best suits your skills, as well as fulfills your income and lifestyle needs. Some people thrive in social settings, working with others in a busy environment. Others prefer to work autonomously, having little interaction with coworkers. Personality plays a large part in determining your best career. Thriveworks Charlotte career counselors will help you understand more about yourself and then more about your best career pursuit.
One of the benefits of career counseling is that you will learn more about yourself. You may discover facets of your personality and talents that you were previously unaware of. As your understanding of yourself becomes more complete, you’ll be in a stronger position to make a career change that will bring your lasting fulfillment. You don’t have to feel stuck or unhappy in your career. You can make a change for the better. All it takes is one phone call to Thriveworks Charlotte to get started.
While traditional counseling is focused on helping the client improve their mental health, be it recovering from a breakup, coping with anxiety or depression, or improving relationships, the goal of career counseling is to find a path that best suits the person you are and that will allow you to become the person you want to be.
There are several ways Thriveworks Charlotte career counselors go about this process. First, you may take a personality test called the Meyer’s-Brigg’s test. Don’t worry—the only “grade” you’ll get is an answer that describes multiple aspects of your personality, including facets you may not be totally aware of. This will allow you to get to know yourself better, but also to be realistic about what types of careers you would be happiest and most successful in. You may also discuss career successes and failures to date, as well as the specifics of what you’ve enjoyed in different positions.
One of the benefits of seeing a career counselor is that they’re simply aware of many options. The truth is, there are a thousand different career paths, probably more, but many of them aren’t as visible as the first six mentioned previously, and so often we aren’t aware of the position right outside our proverbial door that would bring fulfillment, a strong sense of purpose, and an acceptable income.
When you call Thriveworks Charlotte, we will put you in touch with a licensed professional counselor immediately. We have appointments for new clients available within the week of them reaching out. Plus, we offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurance.
