About Wesley
He focuses on simple tools people can use between sessions. Wesley draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and boost motivation for change. He also uses Existential and Solution-Focused ideas to clarify values and set practical goals.
Wesley completed a Master of Social Work at Tulane University in 2019 and did his undergraduate work at Fayetteville State University. He holds an LCSW in North Carolina and brings four years of clinical experience to his practice. That background shapes a practical, down-to-earth style.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Wesley listens first, then helps people build short, usable steps toward their goals. Many people come for help with relationships, parenting strain, grief, compassion fatigue, or career stress, and he adapts tools to fit each situation.
He encourages frank discussion about what’s working and what’s not. Clients work together with Wesley to set realistic next steps, from improving communication to managing intense emotions. His approach is steady, pragmatic, and centered on what a person needs now.
How these approaches guide online sessions
Wesley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into small, practical steps.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their reasons for change. This approach focuses on listening and asking questions that build motivation rather than pushing advice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wesley will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. He aims to match tools to the client’s specific situation so sessions feel useful and realistic.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use a video or phone option based on comfort and bandwidth. Wesley uses his clinical approaches to shape the session, whether the focus is on immediate coping skills or longer-term meaning and values work.
