About me
I am glad that you have decided to work towards improving your quality of life. Oftentimes, the most difficult part of change is asking for and seeking help. Thank you for allowing me to work alongside of you on your journey to achieve wellness. I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) in North Carolina. In addition, I am a Certified Clinical Military Counselor and National Certified Counselor. I obtained my Masters degree in Counseling in 2013 and have experience working with individuals with an variety of issues, such as depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, ADHD, stress management, relationship issues, military life, and of course addictions. I also provide couples/ marriage counseling to individuals who are struggling to navigate effectively through their relationship.
I get it. Relationships can be difficult to manage at times due to various reasons. I have found in my clinical experience that ineffective communication is the number one reason for failed relationships/marriages. It is amazing how we can find it surprisingly easy to communicate with others in our lives(i.e. friends, family members, co-workers, etc) but we struggle the most to talk with the person who most times means the most to us. I am here to help you navigate through your relationship issues to help you guys reconnect with one another, establish intimacy, and trust among one another.
My primary focus throughout the counseling process is to ensure that I am developing and nurturing our therapeutic relationship. I believe that the therapeutic relationship should be positive and strong in order for effectively facilitate counseling interventions and techniques. I take a holistic approach in order to reach emotional, mental, and physical wellness. I am well versed in different counseling interventions such as Cognitive-Behaivoral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I operate from a strengths-based and individualistic approach in order to empower you to find the best solutions that work for you. We are going to work together to establish your goals for treatment because you are the true expert in your life. I encourage you to advocate for yourself so that we can find the right approach for your progress.
I am warm, compassionate, empowering, supportive, and non-judgmental. I understand the courage it takes to share some of the most intimate details of yourself and relationship with someone else and I truly appreciate you trusting me with such delicate information. I will tailor my counseling approach to meet your specific needs. I look forward to working with you to obtain your established goals for the betterment of your life. I am confident that we can work together to get you to where it is you want to be by the end of this experience.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ariana Spencer. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
I've only been working with Ariana a couple weeks. She has been helpful in just that short amount of time. She has worked with my schedule to get a live session in. She answers my questions and responds to my concerns, offering help and advice. My experience with her has been wonderful.
