Psychotherapist
In-person at the Ballantyne Location, Telehealth option provided for NC Residents

Libby Fentress is a Licensed Marriage and Therapist (LMFT). She received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Tech and a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy from East Carolina University. She works primarily from the attachment perspective, using the evidence-based Emotionally Focused Therapy interventions to help create healing, secure, and connected relationships. 

Libby believes that relationships are inherently personal and unique, so she welcomes those who fall anywhere on the spectrum of conflict, interaction, and communication. Regardless of where you are now, she believes there is understanding and perspective to be gained and progress to be made. As a therapist, her approach is collaborative, curious, warm, and welcoming - where clients feel safe, supported, and comfortable being their authentic selves. She believes the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for successful work and understands that in order to “lean in” to vulnerability and make progress, clients must feel it is safe to share thoughts and emotions. 

Libby has worked with a variety of populations including college age young adults, young married couples, middle aged couples, in-home clients, families with teen and pre-teen children, families of children struggling with weight-related concerns, and individual adults navigating divorce/remarriage. She provides counseling/therapy for concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, pre-martial counseling, emotional distress, parenting, job-related distress, life transitions, ADHD, divorce, disordered eating, substance abuse, grief/loss, self-esteem, sexuality, stress, step/blended families, and trauma. Libby currently provides both in-person and teletherapy (online) therapy services for adult individuals (age 18+) and adult couples (age 18+). 

Libby has also completed Level 1 training for Gottman Method couples therapy.
