About LinTiya
LinTiya McCleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with people who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family strain, low self-esteem, and depression.
She helps people talk through what’s happening in their day-to-day life. That includes communication problems, attachment concerns, control struggles, and difficulties after divorce or separation. Guilt and shame are listed among the issues she addresses, along with isolation, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose and money.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she uses conversational techniques and practical exercises to help people notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and clarify values.
LinTiya keeps work focused and straightforward. Sessions often involve checking what feels most important, setting small steps, and reviewing how those steps went. She aims to adjust pacing and techniques so the work fits each person’s needs.
People who come for help with mood disorders, trauma symptoms, or relational patterns can expect a mix of talking and hands-on practice. She also supports people dealing with narcissism dynamics, forgiveness, self-love, and women’s issues. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking steps that matter, which can help with guilt, shame, and low mood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions often include short exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and practice different behaviors between meetings, useful for anxiety and relationship patterns.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach supports people who need a steady, respectful space to sort through painful feelings and decisions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as progress or preferences become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss practical session length and frequency when you set up the first appointment to match what fits your life.
