About Joy Rabon
Joy Rabon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who provides an integrative, whole-person approach to supporting adults. She offers online therapy and telehealth services spanning multiple states, with a focus on practical, relationship-centered work that attends to the mind, body, brain, and spirit.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Joy has specialized training in understanding and treating traumatic stress. She is also an Integrative Mental Health Professional, which reflects training that considers biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors when addressing mental health concerns. Her therapeutic manner is warm, conversational, and actively engaged - she listens closely, asks curious questions, and collaborates closely with clients rather than simply observing from the sidelines.
Joy draws on narrative and solution-focused techniques alongside systemic, neuroscience-informed, and holistic practices to support emotional and relational healing. Her clinical toolkit includes approaches that help with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, life transitions, ADHD, self-esteem, career challenges, compassion fatigue, and more. She prioritizes a personalized, small-practice model to foster deeper therapeutic connection and tailored care.
Residing in Dothan, Alabama, Joy remains connected to the Boone and Blowing Rock area of North Carolina, where she spent many years. Outside of clinical work she spends time with her partner, family, cats, a bunny, and a grand-kitty, enjoys exploring nature and thrifting, and likes traveling and learning new languages to enrich her experiences.
Joy typically responds to messages once a day, most often in the mornings on Central Standard Time, and while weekend responses may occur they are not guaranteed. As a licensed therapist she is required by law to collect identifying information prior to counseling, including full name, date of birth, contact details, consent for counseling, and a photo ID. Anonymous clients cannot be accommodated. She recommends uploading a close-view headshot to help with scheduling and identification. If a person is experiencing recent, frequent, or intrusive thoughts of self-harm or harming others, this professional recommendation is to seek immediate emergency or local crisis resources - for U.S. callers dialing 988 connects to a support line. Joy is available to answer questions about the therapeutic process and intake requirements to help prospective clients make an informed decision.
