I have been a Social Worker for 30 years! That's crazy for me to think about because I am not THAT old......and I have learned a lot (about myself) along the way. I have learned that I do like to talk to people more than I let on. I have learned that I can be very patient listener and I give good feedback. And, I have learned that, at some point, we all have to make changes in our lives and that can be scary. I have also learned it's not as scary when we talk about it out loud........just saying.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience
working in the field of mental health. I am also a Registered Nurse. I have a passion for
assisting people who seek relief from any type of trauma or PTSD, and desire to help those
with any chronic emotional or physical pain, anxiety, depression, difficulties at work or with relationship
stress. I obtained my Master’s degree in Counseling/Community Psychology from Marist College.
Erin Gora, LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through the challenges of aging, illness, caregiving, grief, and life transitions. Her background includes work in behavioral health, dementia care, palliative care, and medical social work across hospital, hospice, and community settings.
I am offering immediate appointment slots and flexible rates during this difficult time. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression due to COVID-19? Do you feel uncertain about how to move forward during this difficult time? You may feel trapped or hopeless, but I can help you with proven coping skills and by working with you to create a new perspective. My life experience provides a solid foundation upon which I have built my techniques and interventions. In addition to my work with adults, I have experience with teens and young adults, and enjoy connecting with them and helping them navigate life and family challenges.
I spent 25 years in corporate America before earning my master's degree in professional counseling. This experience has given me insight into the stresses in the workplace. Having been a long time sufferer of anxiety, I can empathize with the weight of this emotion while also sharing techniques that have helped me live a better, more enjoyable life.
We are living in uncertain times and COVID fatigue has made daily life even more difficult to manage. It can feel overwhelming, but I will work with you to re-train your brain so that your automatic thought patterns are encouraging instead of fearful.
I'm Janna Williams, and my path to becoming a therapist is anything but traditional — and I think that's exactly what makes me effective. After 30 years with the State of North Carolina, I retired and did what most people wouldn't: I started over. I became a mobile crisis team responder, showed up for people in their hardest moments, and discovered exactly where I was meant to be. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from UNC Charlotte (Go Niners! 🤘) and earned my Master of Social Work from UNC Pembroke in 2022 (Go Braves! 🏹). My background spans the judicial system, child welfare, substance use, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention — which means I've seen a lot, and very little surprises or intimidates me. I'm here with you at Greater Vision Counseling Services, Southern Pines, and I am genuinely honored to be part of your story.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Asheville
Finding the right therapist in Asheville starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you need support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or ADHD — and whether you'd prefer a therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist. Licensed providers like LCSWs, LCMHCs, LPCs, and psychologists offer talk therapy, while psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can also prescribe medication. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Asheville has a large and diverse mental health provider community, which means you have options — but it can also make narrowing your search feel like a lot. Practical factors matter: whether you want in-person sessions in neighborhoods like downtown Asheville, West Asheville, or South Slope, or prefer the flexibility of virtual visits. Scheduling, availability, and whether a provider specializes in the type of therapy you're interested in (such as CBT, EMDR, or DBT) are all worth considering as you compare profiles.
Therapy in Asheville can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
