College can be both exciting and overwhelming — especially when you’re trying to figure out who you are and where you belong. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed therapy to students navigating anxiety, identity exploration, relationships, and self-worth. My goal is to create a space where you can breathe, feel understood, and begin to build confidence in your authentic self. Whether you’re questioning your identity, coping with academic stress, or struggling to feel “enough,” you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy is a place to slow down, reconnect, and grow.

Sometimes life leaves you feeling stressed, stuck, or unsure of where to turn. I offer a supportive space where you can talk through what’s going on, whether it’s managing anxiety or depression, navigating friendships or relationships, or adjusting to new transitions. I use practical approaches to help you build healthier coping skills, improve communication, and feel more balanced. My goal is to help you better understand yourself and strengthen the connections that matter most. Looking for counseling is already a huge first step—you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Together, we can work toward managing stress, finding clarity, and creating the change you want for your life.

Clients who experience the most benefit while working me are those who seek therapy because they are feeling stuck, like they've been living out a script that keeps repeating itself, and who want to make progress moving forward. If you've noticed dynamics within your family or in your past that keep repeating in your relationships, at work, or as barriers to your goals, then my therapeutic approach may be a helpful intervention. If you live in East Tennessee, we have the option of taking our session's outdoors for nature-based therapy and animal-assisted therapy. And if you are in South Carolina, we can meet online and may even be able to incorporate the horses via video! However we meet, I look forward to exploring your past with you to make sense of the present, for the possibility of a better future.

I have been crossing lines of different cultures and expectations for my whole life, and helping others to do so too. My best work is with helping people manage borderline symptoms, depression/anxiety, "oppositional-defiant" behavior, and/or ADHD. I care a lot about strong foundations in the original ideas of the different treatment modalities I use, like CBT, ACT, or DBT (the original "lore," if you will). At the same time, I'm always looking for connections to the various stories and narratives my clients find meaningful in your own everyday lives, whether it's from anime, the Bible, historical figures, or any mix.

In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am also a Registered Art Therapist. Trained under the broader umbrella of Expressive Arts Therapy, I believe in the power of creativity, play, exploration, and expression which offers healing, not solely through traditional talk therapy, but through other expressive means – dance, movement, poetry, painting, improv, and more. I am trained in EMDR, and I value the use of somatic (body) work to facilitate release of embedded trauma. Sometimes, even when we understand logically that we are free from danger, our body still holds a primal fear response. I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic safe space for anyone who wants to embark on a healing journey. To this end, I lean into a strength-based, client-centered, trauma-informed philosophy. Conversations, artmaking, and guided experientials are always presented as invitations as I practice active listening and an open and curious mindset towards what the client wants to explore, create, and share. In my non-profit job, I work as a sexual health educator, HIV tester, counselor, and advocate. I practice a curious, non-judgmental approach and do not shrink away from “taboo” topics. I engage with a wide spectrum of individuals and commit myself to justice and equality for everyone, paying special attention to those in marginalized groups. I offer a safe space for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, people with disabilities, and those who may see the world through a different lens.

Do you want to explore and express parts of yourself that are hidden or suppressed? I believe therapy is a sacred process- one that offers you a safe, supportive place to explore your inner/outer experiences & reconnect with your authentic self.

My approach is eclectic & integrative, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs with compassion, acceptance, & support. I aim to create a safe, compassionate space where you can show up exactly as you are. I help you build insight into patterns, develop practical tools, and gently process life experiences. Above all, I hope our work leads to meaningful breakthroughs & small victories—each one a step forward on your path to healing & wholeness. I’ll walk with you toward self-understanding, emotional balance, and a more meaningful life. Book online today for a free consultation, and let’s take the first step together.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Lynchburg, VA

Licensed to offer therapy services in Virginia, Tennessee, and Michigan, Dr. Honeycutt is often sought out due to the advanced IFS (Level 3) training he received in 2010 under the model's founder, Dr. Richard Schwartz. With particular interest in how the ancient Judeo-Christian understanding of the psyche (soul) overlaps with modern theories of mental health, he has spoken on this subject at conferences, educational seminars, and university classrooms. Approaching work with clients from a Christian framework of psycho-spiritual health, Dr. Honeycutt combines modern-day techniques and psychological research with an ancient understanding of the human condition as created by God. Non-Christian clients who are interested in such an approach are also welcome. Sessions are typically offered online for those living outside the Lynchburg area.
