About Khaliyah

Khaliyah Stroud is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings three years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship issues.

She aims to make the first step into therapy feel achievable and straightforward for people who are worried or unsure where to begin. Khaliyah creates an open space where clients can say what they really think and feel.

Background and approach

She listens without judging and helps people name the problems that matter to them. Conversations in her sessions focus on practical next steps rather than long lectures. Small changes are given priority so progress feels possible.

Her work covers a wide range of topics including self-esteem, addictions, grief, ADHD, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She also supports clients facing family-specific challenges such as blended family tensions, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, and caregiver stress. Other areas she addresses include chronic illness or pain, body image, and communication or commitment problems.

Khaliyah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. Sessions are structured around clear goals and collaborative problem solving. She helps people break down overwhelming problems into manageable tasks and practices to try between meetings.

Sessions are offered in English and held online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The practice operates on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support

Khaliyah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and real-life practice. One approach emphasizes structured problem solving and behavioral techniques to address anxiety, depression, and stress by identifying small changes a person can make and then testing them in daily life. Another approach centers on improving communication and attachment within families - helping people notice interaction patterns, practice new ways of speaking, and rebuild trust over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Khaliyah collaborates with each person to find which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews options together and adjusts plans as progress and priorities change, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation easier for busy families. These options allow sessions to fit around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping continuity between meetings. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and helps people maintain momentum between appointments.
