About Araby
Araby Boykin is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, mood and personality concerns, and anger. Her practice includes people coping with relationship and family problems, grief, addiction, and the strain of parenting.
She keeps sessions practical and focused on the person in front of her. She uses a mix of approaches - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques - depending on what helps most. Conversations look at thoughts, behaviors, and routines that keep problems going, and then try small changes that make daily life easier.
In sessions she helps people name patterns linked to impulsivity, control issues, jealousy, and communication problems. She also addresses co-morbidity, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue when these issues are present. Work may include skill building for emotion regulation, strategies for managing anger, and steps to rebuild trust after infidelity or betrayal.
Her style is direct and practical. Clients can expect clear tools from CBT and DBT combined with mindfulness practice and motivational interviewing to support change. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and track progress.
Araby is a member of the American Counseling Association and holds national board certification in counseling. She offers sessions in English and practices in North Carolina.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel understood while identifying practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers skills to reduce anxiety, depressive thinking, and reactive anger.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods - CBT, DBT skills, or mindfulness exercises - fit their goals and daily life. That plan can shift as progress is tracked and new needs appear.
Confirm the session formats with the practice before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit therapy into work or family schedules, and use short skill-practice check-ins when time is tight. They also allow exercises like guided mindfulness and DBT skill coaching to be practiced in everyday settings, which helps transfer new habits into daily routines.
