Janna Williams

Janna Williams

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


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 North Carolina

Finding the right therapist in North Carolina starts with getting clear on what kind of care you need. Licensed therapists — including LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists — provide talk therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma. If you're looking for medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit. Many providers in North Carolina offer both virtual and in-person sessions, so you can choose the format that works best for your schedule and location.

With providers practicing across Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, the Triad, Wilmington, and Asheville, narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — a provider's specialty, their approach to therapy, or whether they're close to where you live or work. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in North Carolina can be costly without insurance, but using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session depending on your specific coverage.
