About
As a compassionate, person-centered therapist with more than a decade of experience, I use evidence-based approaches to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you heal, grow, and move toward your goals.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC)with 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I take a compassionate, person-centered approach and strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you begin your healing journey. I work with adults and adolescents, helping clients address emotional overwhelm, unresolved pain, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Regent University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches to tailor treatment to your needs, build coping skills, deepen insight, and support lasting wellness.
I believe healing grows through trust, clarity, and connection. My goal is to help you move forward with confidence and purpose. You can expect a supportive space to explore challenges and strengthen your resilience. If you're ready, I would be honored to walk with you toward growth.

I feel I will be able to help a variety of individuals achieve their goals through therapy because of the experience I bring through years of work and personal life experiences I have gone through on my own or with my family.
Hello, I am Robert Kirby, a clinical social worker. I've worked as a clinician in the mental health field since 2001 and became a licensed clinician in 2003. Over the years, I've worked as a clinical social worker (therapist) in medical care practices, in in-patient programs for drug rehab and psychiatric care, and as a therapist for elderly clients in nursing homes, as well as with families whose loved ones are in hospice care. I believe everyone has the ability to achieve their goals with the right help and the willingness to work at it. Taking that first step toward change is the hardest step to make.
When choosing a therapist, think about what you're looking for. I challenge you to think in new ways, like asking questions about your questions or playing devil's advocate. If you're up for a challenge, I'll support your work toward your goals. Each client connects differently, so I use varied techniques in session and homework to help therapy succeed.
Working with me will bring you the success you want, as long as you're doing the work needed too. No success is achieved without hard work. I look forward to being your guiding hand as you move through the process of your therapeutic work.

My approach is client-centered and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Using CBT and the Gottman Method, I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, boundaries, betrayal, and identity exploration.
Therapy can help you explore challenges, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater well-being and connection.

As a queer, neurodivergent person living in the South, I understand firsthand what it means to navigate a world that wasn't built with you in mind.
Hi, I'm Jaimee, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-CP) working in behavioral health since 2019. I work with a range of clients, including those facing anxiety, depression, and everyday life struggles. I also work especially well with queer and neurodivergent clients — as someone who is both, I understand how hard it can be to navigate a world not built for you, and to have real struggles dismissed as laziness. My goal is to create an authentic space where you can be yourself without judgment, whether you're exploring your identity, working through anxiety or depression, or learning to navigate this world.
To create an authentic space, I show up authentically too — laid back, down to earth, and not pretending to have all the answers. I listen with curiosity, not judgment, and offer insight and education along the way. Ultimately, this is your journey — we focus on the goals the client wants to work on.
I look forward to getting to know you as a person and supporting you through it. I believe true empathy sometimes means not fixing anything — just sitting with you in the dark, trapped feeling, when nothing else feels like it can help. That's something I can do. Taking the first step can be hard, but you don't have to do it alone.

Having grown up seeing how unspoken struggles can affect individuals and families, I understand the importance of feeling heard, finding connection, and having someone willing to walk alongside you through life's challenges.
Hi, I’m Jonathan Kee, a Licensed Professional Counselor. My journey into counseling began with seeing how deeply life’s challenges can affect individuals and the people closest to them. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I believe everyone has a story, and understanding that story is an important part of moving forward. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply trying to better understand yourself, my goal is to meet you where you are and work alongside you toward the changes you want to make.
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves. Using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Gestalt techniques, I help clients explore how their thoughts, emotions, and experiences shape their lives. My role is to support and challenge you while empowering you to make your own choices and move forward with intention and purpose.
Reaching out for support can feel uncomfortable, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to know exactly what you need or where to begin. Sometimes, being willing to have an honest conversation is enough to get started. If you’re ready to explore meaningful change, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

As a therapist who has participated in therapy myself, I know how important it is to find a provider you connect with and feel truly seen by. I specialize in seeing the person in the room as a fully unique human being and in working with them to untangle the challenges they’re facing so they can grow into their fullest potential.
As a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 4 years of experience, I've worked in a variety of settings where I’ve helped people navigate a range of issues including trauma, anxiety, relational conflict, and depression. From an intensive outpatient program to a major medical hospital, I’ve sat with people on some of the worst days of their lives, accompanying them through immense grief and loss, chronic stress, vicarious trauma, and major life transitions. I work with preteens to older adults using a flexible, integrative approach that weaves together evidence-based practices with each client’s individual needs and preferences.
I earned my master’s in social work from the University of Tennessee. I use tools like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, but above all my priority is to show up as just another human in the room, navigating this hard, messy, beautiful life alongside my clients.
In our work together, I will sit with you in your pain, your confusion, your anger, or whatever you’re bringing into the space, and help you be with it, make sense of it, and ultimately, transform it. Therapy can be hard. Life is hard. And yet here you are, because you know there’s something better waiting for you. Let’s find out what it is.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is meeting you where you are with a solution-focused approach. Every person has different factors that are in and outside of their control, and having a solution-focused approach can be really helpful for getting you to be where you want to be.
I tailor each approach to meet the individual's needs but often find the following helpful!
I know clients are making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they feel more hopeful and motivated and start taking practical steps toward creating the life they want for themselves.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by focusing on their goals and applying what we talk about in sessions to everyday life.
I encourage everyone who is thinking about going to therapy to reflect on what their goals for therapy are.
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
Individual therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Talk therapy has many benefits. The conversations between you and a licensed counselor are different from those you’ll have with a trusted friend. The value of speaking with talk therapist is not greater than speaking with a friend – it’s just different. And that’s because the purpose is different. If you think you could benefit from a professional’s help, reach out to Thriveworks Greenville today to schedule an appointment and get started.
Talk therapy is helpful for many types of mental health issues, including the following:
Your therapist will help you explore thoughts and behaviors that are in conflict with each other. You’ll gain insight regarding negative or false beliefs that steal your happiness and prevent you from reaching your potential. You’ll spend time discussing your past and how it affects you today. Talk therapy may reveal patterns that keep you from engaging in meaningful relationships. You may even discover your authentic self. You might be able to do this with a friend; but if you’re like most people, it’s not likely. Your friends are probably not therapists, so let them be your friends and save the hard topics for talk therapy.
Greenville Talk Therapy exists to provide meaningful and productive care for people who want to actively engage in their mental health support. Greenville talk therapists partner with clients to set personal goals for therapy. You don’t have to try to figure things out on your own. Let a Thriveworks Talk Therapist help you understand the hurt you’ve experienced in the past, the issues that trouble you today, and make a plan for what concerns you about the future.
The days of sweeping your feelings under the rug are over. Start a relationship with a Thriveworks Talk Therapist in Greenville today. Talk therapy in Greenville is easy to start. Just give us a call and get connected with an experienced, qualified, and licensed mental health counselor. Talk therapy is covered by insurance, so it may be more affordable that you thought.
