Condalette Artero , LCMHC

Condelatte Artero, known to many clients as Connie, is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist practicing in North Carolina. As an LCMHC she is trained to assess and treat a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns, and her addiction specialist credential reflects focused experience supporting people with substance use challenges. She centers her work on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, beginning with rapport and a collaborative plan that reflects each person’s unique needs.

Her approach is often eclectic - grounded in client-centered principles and informed by techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness. For clients experiencing trauma, she also uses Cognitive Processing Therapy to address symptoms related to PTSD. She believes thoughts strongly influence emotions and behavior and works with clients to identify patterns, develop practical coping skills, and reduce distressing symptoms.

Connie has supported people facing depression, anxiety, stress, women’s issues, trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, life transitions, and substance use disorders. She also works with concerns such as relationships, parenting, ADHD, and career-related stress. Saturday morning appointments are noted as available in her practice history. Due to state licensure restrictions she can only work with residents of North Carolina. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Approach-Focused Care Available Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then clarify personal values and take meaningful action - useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns while practicing concrete coping strategies - often applied to depression, anxiety, and panic symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore concerns at their own pace and build self-directed insight and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Condalette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to sessions, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or between commitments. These options make it easier to maintain regular care, try different modalities, and integrate skill practice into daily life while working toward personal goals.
