My Counseling Practice
Are you unhappy or anxious in your relationships? I work with you to help you develop and maintain positive relationships with yourself and the important people in your life. You can benefit from understanding what motivates behavior choices and interferes with communication and understanding.
MyTreatment Focus
Through my work with adolescents, adults, individuals, couples, and families, I promote personal strength, intentionality, and kindness. I offer a personalized approach tailored to each of my clients' individual needs to help attain personal growth.
Goals of Treatment
My goal is for you to overcome the difficulties that brought you to therapy sooner rather than later. In order to track our success in treatment, at the beginning of each session I will ask you to complete a rating scale of how you are doing in the areas of your personal wellbeing, primary relationship, social and work setting, and general overall functioning. This information is discussed with you, recorded on a graph, and compared over time. If you are not making progress towards your treatment goals it may be appropriate to redesign the treatment plan, goals, or methods of therapy and consider the possible benefit of a referral to a specialist or other treatment program.

Counseling can help people understand why they do what they do.
- Counseling is a safe place to honestly explore emotions of anger, anxiety and worry.
- Counseling can help people learn how to effectively influence others by changing how they respond to others' troubling behaviors.
- Counseling is a place to learn coping skills, improve self-esteem, and discover life purpose.
- Counseling is a place to practice new behaviors, identify and establish appropriate boundaries, and develop kindness and self-reliance.
Counseling Fees: in-person 55-minute sessions are $100. Sessions are scheduled for one hour increments; however, not all insurance programs pay for the full hour.

Tele-counseling

Services are provided via a HIPAA compliant platform that allows us to meet via a secure and private internet server. To request tele-counseling services, please contact me so that I can create your secure personal account.
A subscription service for counseling through messaging and video is available through www.betterhelp.com/thea-vondracek/.
Due to licensure laws, I can provide tele-counseling services only to clients who reside in North Carolina.
Relationship Counseling
Relationships can be wonderful and frustrating all at the same time. All of us are in a variety of relationships and can benefit from learning how to improve them. Whether you are struggling with a romantic relationship, a work relationship, or a relationship with a family member (child, parent, or something else) learning how to create positive interactions can improve the quality of your life.
Counseling, either individually or with other important people in your life, can help you learn:
- The triggers to conflict and how to manage them
- How to help other people feel heard and understood
- How to communicate your feelings and be understood by others
- The common roadblocks to communication and what to do about them
- How to challenge your own thought processes that provoke anxiety in the relationship
- Ways to approach difficult topics without getting into a fight
