Joy Rabon

Joy Rabon is a licensed marriage and family therapist who provides online therapy to adults in Alabama and North Carolina and is a registered telehealth provider in Florida. She brings 26 years of experience working in public, private, and school settings.

She holds certification as a Clinical Trauma Professional and training as an Integrative Mental Health Professional, and she uses a whole-person perspective that considers mind, body, brain, and spirit when helping clients address challenges.

Her clinical style is relaxed, conversational, and compassionate. Joy is actively engaged and curious in sessions rather than quietly observing, and she draws on approaches such as Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy along with holistic, systemic, and neuroscience-informed practices to support emotional and relational healing.

She focuses particularly on traumatic stress and life transitions, and keeps a small practice to offer a more individualized therapeutic relationship.

Joy currently lives in Dothan, Alabama, and maintains a strong connection to the Boone and Blowing Rock area of North Carolina, where she lived for many years and continues to visit.

Outside of work she spends time with her partner, family, cats, a bunny, and a grand-kitty, enjoys exploring nature, thrifting, and a good series, and she loves to travel and is learning German to enhance her travel experiences.

Joy generally responds to messages once a day, usually in the mornings Central Standard Time, and while she may reply on weekends this is not guaranteed. As a licensed therapist she is required by law to collect a client’s full name, date of birth, contact information, consent for counseling, and a photo ID; anonymous clients cannot be accommodated. Consent is given by reviewing and accepting the member information form prior to the first appointment, and clients must submit their full name, contact information, date of birth, and photo ID before the initial session. She recommends uploading a close-view headshot photo to the client profile to help distinguish between clients with the same first name and to ensure smooth scheduling.

If someone is experiencing recent, frequent, or intrusive thoughts of self-harm or harming others, this platform may not be suitable; they should seek emergency or crisis assistance or find offline therapy in their local area. For people in the United States, dialing 988 will connect them with a support line. If prospective clients have questions or need more information to make an informed decision about counseling and therapeutic goals, Joy is available to answer questions and looks forward to working with them.
