Grief Counseling
When someone you love dies, or life changes in a way you didn’t choose, everything can feel heavier. Sleep slips, waves of sadness arrive without warning, and everyday tasks take more energy than you have. You may avoid reminders, feel detached from people you care about, or wonder why others seem to be “moving on.” Grief isn’t a problem to solve, but you don’t have to carry it alone. At Emberhaven, our licensed clinicians offer compassionate, practical grief counseling in person in Greensboro and High Point and via secure telehealth across North Carolina. We help you find steadier footing while honoring what (and who) you’ve lost.
You don't have to face this loss alone.

How We Treat Grief
Your story sets the pace. We begin with person-centered counseling so sessions feel safe, respectful, and guided by what matters to you. Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to gently loosen painful thought patterns, ease avoidance, and rebuild daily routines that support healing. We integrate Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you carry grief while reconnecting with values, meaning, and the relationships that remain.
Because memories are part of healing, we use narrative and meaning-centered work to remember your loved one, process anniversaries and milestones, and weave the loss into your life story. When grief affects home dynamics, we add family/systems-informed support to improve communication and shared rituals of remembrance. Throughout, mindfulness, grounding, and DBT-informed skills help calm the nervous system, settle sleep, and regulate intense emotion. If medication might help, we can coordinate with your prescriber at your request.
Grief Counseling Sessions At Emberhaven
Most people start with weekly sessions, then taper as steadiness returns. Early work focuses on sleep and routine, building simple skills that make hard moments more manageable. As you feel ready, we go deeper, such as naming what was lost, exploring complicated or mixed emotions, and planning for triggers such as holidays, birthdays, or life transitions. You’ll leave each visit with one or two realistic practices, such as brief reflections, grounding exercises, or connection steps, so progress continues between sessions. Common outcomes include more emotional balance, improved focus and energy, and a renewed ability to engage with people and activities that matter to you.
