About Loretta Tillman

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)in both North and South Carolina with over 20 years of counseling experience. I am also a Nationally Certified Counselor and Accredited Disability Representative. I work with adults who want help to feel more in control, inspired, motivated, and empowered to find enjoyment in living from their authentic self. My experience includes working with clients with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, bipolar, depression, self-esteem, life transition issues, chronic pain, and disability. This is a transformational journey fueled by strength, integrity and courage.

My counseling style/approach is warm, interactive and supportive. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, integrity, compassion and sensitivity in addressing their concerns. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels because labels do not define who you are.

My approach uses multiple therapeutic modalities such as person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral, reality therapy and psycho-dynamic. This approach allows for flexibility to tailor treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs and goals.

Together, we will identify solutions and resources to inspire, motivate and empower you through your growth challenges to achieve the outcomes and results you want. I believe that you are your best expert in your life. I will provide you with guidance in identifying patterns, choices and consequences to accomplish goals for a more satisfying and authentic life.

It takes strength, integrity and courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life supported by dreams and goals. Taking the first step toward change can be both frightening and rewarding. I will be with you every step of the transformational journey and help you with the tools to develop a “stick and stay” attitude toward your progress.

BE YOU! All abroad the transformation journey, let’s roll! I really look forward to working with you to become the best version of yourself.

“Miss Loretta far exceeded my expectations because I struggled to find a therapist with her no nonsense demeanor and strong understanding of how I needed to be listened to and responded to that would keep my mind focused in a positive direction”

“She is terrific!”

“Fantastic person, great therapist!”

“Awesomely empathetic and understanding while holding me accountable.”

“Loretta is an exceptional person. She is kind and understanding counselor who provides wonderful solutions. She is extremely welcoming which is great for people who are uncomfortable with expressing their emotions. Hearing her wisdom is a breath of fresh air. <br /> I appreciate her because she is honest, blunt, and/or firm when the situation presents itself. Loretta isn’t afraid to speak the truth and does a great way of delivering it. She is professional, yet friendly, which makes it easy to keep honest communication. I applaud her ability to gauge situations while being able to respond naturally and authentically. Every queue I’ve picked up on has told me she truly cares and it shows. I’ve had a handful of counselors and I can easily say Loretta Tillman is the easy choice. I honestly wish I had her sooner in my life.”

“Loretta is such a great therapist. She hears me and supports me and offers comfort. She has been a vital part of my life the last couple years.”
