Background and approach
She holds the LPC credential in South Carolina. In sessions she listens first to understand what feels most urgent. Then she and the client pick a few concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Those strategies can include changing unhelpful thinking, building new habits, or practicing emotional awareness. Joye has worked with people facing relationship shifts, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family challenges, and issues tied to family of origin. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive and mindfulness-informed methods. She helps clients set clear goals, notice what gets in the way, and experiment with different responses until something feels more manageable. Joye practices from South Carolina and offers sessions remotely for English speakers, including international clients.
Approach and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors to find practical ways to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage ADHD-related challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space so people can explore concerns at their own pace.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Joye will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what works and what doesn’t, so the client helps shape their care every step of the way.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports shorter updates between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
