Maurice Fairley, LCMHC

Maurice Fairley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. He has eight years of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, and addictive behavior. Maurice speaks English and also accepts international clients, and he blends practical strategies with straightforward conversation to help people take next steps.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing is part of his work when someone wants to find internal reasons to change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and build momentum for small wins.

Maurice’s background includes work with children, adolescents, and adults, and he has supported people through grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career challenges. He also focuses on issues commonly faced by men and young adults. He aims to meet each person where they are and to work at a pace that feels manageable.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical. Maurice will often use goal-setting, skill practice, and check-ins to track progress. He also pays attention to safety and immediate needs when someone is coping with trauma or strong emotions.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

How these approaches guide online work

Maurice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often involves homework, like tracking thoughts or testing new ways of coping. Motivational Interviewing focuses on the person’s own reasons to change and works well for issues like substance use or getting unstuck from old patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maurice will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first, and the plan can change as work progresses.

Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to keep momentum between sessions with brief goal reviews and homework that fits daily life.
