About
Having lived through immigration and personal transitions, I bring empathy and understanding for how complex life changes can impact our sense of self and belonging.
I’m Cecilia, and I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, cultural and family pressures, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, yet want deeper self-understanding, emotional balance, and healthier ways of coping. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, feel genuinely heard, and build resilience while staying connected to your values and identity.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally aware. I integrate person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and CBT tools to help you understand patterns, regulate emotions, and develop practical coping skills. Together, we move at your pace while building insight, confidence, and meaningful change.
Seeking support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to offer a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you when you feel ready to begin.

In navigating the challenges of everyday life, I recognize the importance of prioritizing self care and exploring the areas of our lives that need healing.
Hello! My name is Lauren, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and adults in telehealth, inpatient, and field-based settings. Many of the individuals I have worked with have experienced challenges related to relational and childhood trauma, sudden loss, complex marital dynamics, infidelity, negative peer relationships, body image concerns, and other life stressors. The individuals I have worked with are no different than most of us, who on some level are seeking balance, peace, and reassurance.
In our work together, we will explore the root causes of your most pressing concerns. Through mindfulness, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused approaches, we will work toward clarity and self-acceptance. You can expect a compassionate, judgment-free space for authentic self-expression, reflective listening, and renewed perspectives.
Being vulnerable and transparent in an unfamiliar environment can be difficult, but I hope to provide a comfortable space for sharing and exploration. I work well with individuals who are motivated toward change and insight. I have experience supporting those navigating depression, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and childhood and relational trauma.

As a black woman who's been married for 10 years and lives a very busy life, I understand the challenges that comes with marriage and society. As someone who has personally experienced depression and anxiety along with challenges in self-esteem, I understand how that can get in the way of the relationship with yourself, significant other, and family.
I have been practicing therapy since 2019 and hold an LPC. I typically work with couples who are facing communication challenges and broken trust along with helping them reconnect. I work with individuals and help them to gain healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
I love to be collaborative with clients and be intuitive to specific needs they may have in the moment. That helps clients to feel seen and understood during their healing journey.
Healing is something we all must experience but being able to trust someone you can be vulnerable with makes it so much easier.

I understand that life and relationships can feel overwhelming when we are working at it alone, sometimes that extra ear is all the support we need.
Ja'Nay Perry is a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) that specializes in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, ASD (autism spectrum disorder) related problems, and intimacy issues. Ja'Nay has years of experience in the mental health field starting as a registered behavior technician (RBT) and later going into the counseling field. While she started off primarily working with children & adolescents she has now expanded her focus to individual adults and couples, focusing on intimacy, communication, and relationship management.
Ja'Nay holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Prairie View A&M University and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Georgia.

Her framework is growth-oriented and client-centered.
Ja'Nay believes that it does not matter if you are little or big, when we are facing life's challenges alone things can naturally feel like a lot. So if you are looking for a holistic approach, a none judgmental space, and a practice rooted in collaboration/empowerment - you have found the right person.

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is screen sharing The Gottman Feeling Wheel and any worksheets we may go over during the session. I prefer this because I love to collaborate with clients during their treatment.
I teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when the client reports about the positive changes they made during their week.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with reading therapeutic books to help them outside of sessions and utilize coping skills.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can make sure you are in a quiet place alone to ensure your confidentiality. Also, check your internet connection to make sure it's strong to lessen session interruptions.
With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
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.

Generally speaking, you can’t go wrong with telephone or video counseling. They are both viable online counseling options, of which have proven to help people fulfill their needs and accomplish their goals. That said, you might find that you prefer one over the other. This will depend on what your specific needs and/or goals are for therapy. For example, you might prefer telephone counseling over video counseling if you’d like to remain relatively anonymous. Or, on the other hand, if you enjoy that face-to-face interaction you get in video counseling, you might prefer this option over the former.
