Avey Gibbs, Therapy Clinician

Avey Gibbs, LCSW-Associate, helps individuals across North Carolina navigate meaningful change with warmth, clarity, and evidence-based guidance. She supports children, adolescents, teens, and adults through individual, couples, family, and group therapy, working to create a grounded space where people can strengthen emotional resilience, improve daily functioning, and reconnect with what matters most. While she treats a wide range of mental health concerns, Avey is especially attuned to the needs of patients managing ADHD, anxiety, and PTSD/trauma. She approaches these challenges with practical strategies that enhance focus, reduce distress, and promote long-term healing. Her work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, and Mindfulness-based techniques to develop clear, actionable treatment plans. Avey is also deeply committed to supporting specialized populations, including individuals in the adoption and foster care community, LGBTQ+ clients seeking affirming care, and first responders coping with high-stress environments. She offers additional services tailored to diverse developmental and behavioral needs, always prioritizing respect, collaboration, and clinical rigor. Beyond her clinical role at LifeStance Health, Avey values balance and restorative connection. She enjoys listening to music, baking and sharing her creations, spending time with loved ones, and taking peaceful walks that help her recharge.
