About Majesty

Majesty Purvis is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and grief. Her practice also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions that leave people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Purvis uses practical, evidence-based methods and client-centered conversation to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills with mindfulness and existential discussion to help clients make clearer choices. Sessions focus on simple, usable tools rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a certificate in Rehabilitation Counseling and Behavioral Addictions. She has experience working with adolescents as well as adults, and she has provided services in individual, couples, family, and group formats during her career. That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets goals with each person.

Someone carrying guilt or shame can expect direct conversation about how those feelings show up in daily life. Purvis pays attention to attachment patterns, abandonment concerns, body image, and codependency when those issues relate to a client’s worry. She also addresses complex situations like blended family dynamics, chronic illness stress, and kink or alternative-sex-culture questions without moral judgment.

She frames therapy as practical skill building. Work may include tracking thoughts, practicing grounding or DBT skills, and reflecting on values and choices. Sessions aim to help clients recognize patterns and try new ways of responding to painful feelings.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers through guided conversation. It is useful for people who want someone to reflect back what they’re feeling and help them clarify values and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often involves tracking automatic thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing small behavioral experiments to reduce guilt-driven habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Skills such as grounding, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness can be practiced in short, focused sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust as the work progresses. That shared planning helps keep sessions practical and relevant.

The therapist’s original profile did not list session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these benefits to help clients make therapy a practical part of daily life.
