About Tiffany Price, LCSW | Online Therapist in North Carolina
Tiffany Price
MPSA, MSW, LCSW
COO & Senior Clinician
Sometimes the hardest part of change isn’t what happened.
It’s realizing that the role you’ve always known how to fill doesn’t fit quite the same way anymore.
I’m Tiffany Price, MSW, LCSW, a therapist with Resurgence Therapy PLLC. I provide online therapy for adults in North Carolina who are navigating major life transitions, changing family roles, caregiving, grief, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and the question of what comes next when life no longer looks the way it used to.
Many of the people I work with are used to being the person others depend on.
You may be the parent, spouse, caregiver, problem-solver, or family go-to person. You may genuinely value being there for other people.
But something has changed.
And now you may be wondering:
“Something changed, and I’m not sure who I am in this season of my life.”
You Don’t Have to Stop Caring About Everyone Else to Make Room for Yourself
There is a lot of advice out there about putting yourself first, setting boundaries, and learning to say no.
Sometimes that advice is useful.
Sometimes it misses something important.
For many of the people I work with, caring for others isn’t simply a “bad habit” they need to break. Being dependable, helpful, loyal, or responsible may be connected to their relationships, their values, and the kind of person they want to be.
I’m not interested in automatically taking those things away from you.
I’m more interested in understanding what happens when the way you have always cared for other people begins to cost you more than you want it to.
Maybe caregiving has become exhausting. Maybe a relationship has changed. Maybe your children need you differently now. Maybe grief has altered your family. Maybe your career, marriage, health, military life, or responsibilities have shifted.
Or maybe the life you built still looks mostly the same from the outside, but you don’t feel the same inside it.
That is something we can talk about.
I Want to Understand What Changed Before We Decide What Needs to Change
My approach to therapy is curious before it is prescriptive.
I don’t want to immediately tell you what you should stop doing, what boundary you should set, or what decision you should make.
First, I want to understand you.
What have you experienced? What roles have you learned to fill? What matters to you about those roles? What are you feeling now? What assumptions are operating underneath the surface? What do you need that you may not have had space to consider before?
And importantly, what do you actually want to be different?
Your responses usually make sense somewhere in the context of your experiences.
Understanding that context doesn’t mean nothing changes.
It means we understand what we’re changing and why.
The goal isn’t to make you into someone else.
It’s to help you make more intentional choices about what you carry into this next season of your life.
What Therapy With Me Is Actually Like
My style is warm, collaborative, curious, grounded, and practical.
You do not have to come to therapy knowing exactly what is wrong or what you need.
We can start with what is happening.
I’ll give you room to talk through what you are feeling without immediately trying to fix it. As we understand more, I’ll help you look at patterns, relationships, assumptions, emotions, needs, communication, and boundaries.
One thing we may pay particular attention to is the difference between what you feel and what that feeling automatically seems to mean.
You might feel guilty after setting a boundary.
That feeling matters.
But feeling guilty does not automatically mean you did something wrong.
You might feel anxious about disappointing someone.
That anxiety deserves our attention.
But it doesn’t necessarily mean disappointing them would be dangerous, selfish, or the wrong choice.
Therapy gives us room to acknowledge the emotion while also getting curious about the story attached to it.
You can question me. You can disagree with me. You can tell me something we tried didn’t help.
I don’t expect you to fit the therapy.
I adjust the work to the person sitting in front of me.
Evidence-Based Therapy That Still Leaves Room for You
My work is person-centered and strengths-based, while also drawing from evidence-based therapeutic approaches depending on what you are experiencing and what we are working toward.
My clinical training includes Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS).
These approaches give us useful tools and frameworks.
They are not a script you have to follow.
The method should support the person, not replace them.
We can use evidence-based strategies while still making room for your personality, relationships, values, culture, experiences, and the realities of your actual life.
Because ultimately, therapy needs to be useful somewhere other than the therapy session.
Experience That Includes More Than One Kind of Therapy Setting
I have more than 10 years of professional experience working with adults across a range of mental health and clinical settings.
My background includes outpatient mental health, residential substance-use treatment, in-person therapy, and virtual care.
I have also taught Master of Social Work students and supervised social work interns.
Working across different settings has reinforced something important for me:
There isn’t one type of person who comes to therapy, and there isn’t one way people respond to difficult experiences.
People bring histories, strengths, responsibilities, relationships, losses, values, and ways of coping that developed long before they entered a therapy room.
I want the work we do together to recognize all of that.

Military Life, Caregiving, and Family Transitions Are Personal for Me, Too
My understanding of caregiving, grief, military life, family roles, and major transitions isn’t only professional.
I am the daughter of a Vietnam veteran and the wife of a combat-injured disabled veteran. I am also the parent of an adopted teenager.
My own family experiences have included grief, trauma, caregiving, and significant changes that weren’t necessarily expected or chosen.
That doesn’t mean I assume my experience is the same as yours.
It does mean I understand personally that a major change rarely affects just one part of a person’s life.
It can change relationships. Responsibilities. Family dynamics. Expectations. Plans for the future.
And sometimes it changes how you understand yourself.
I also know that when caring for other people genuinely matters to you, being told to simply “put yourself first” may not feel realistic or even desirable.
There can be another way to approach it.
You Don’t Have to Know Exactly What You Need Before You Start
Sometimes people hesitate to start therapy because they don’t know how to explain what is wrong.
You don’t need a perfectly defined problem.
Maybe your family changed.
Maybe someone died.
Maybe caregiving became heavier.
Maybe a relationship shifted.
Maybe your children are growing up, your career changed, military life changed, or the role you’ve filled for years suddenly looks different.
Maybe nothing dramatic happened at all.
You just know the way you’ve been living isn’t working quite the same way anymore.
We can start there.
Therapy can give you room to slow things down enough to understand what has changed, what you are feeling, what you still want to carry, and what you may be ready to do differently.
You don’t have to figure all of that out before you reach out.
You can care deeply about other people while learning to make room for yourself, too.
And When I’m Not a Therapist...
I spend a lot of time cheering on my cheerleader, watching college football, or finding my way to some kind of water. I also love creating things that let me think with my hands for a while — which is probably why I can get way too invested in a spirit banner, a home project, or decorating for something no one asked me to decorate.
Those things probably say something about me, too. I care a lot about creativity, connection, showing up for the people I love, and finding little ways to get out of my own head.
Making Room for Yourself in a Life That’s Changing
I don’t believe the goal of therapy is to give you another list of things you’re supposed to be doing better.
I want what we do together to help you understand yourself more clearly and give you more choice when life asks something different of you.
That might mean recognizing when guilt is influencing a decision.
Communicating a need you normally would have kept to yourself.
Letting someone else carry something they are capable of carrying.
Allowing yourself to grieve a role, relationship, expectation, or version of life that has changed.
Or deciding that something you have always done for other people still matters to you, but you want to do it more intentionally.
The goal isn’t to care less.
It’s to become more intentional about what you carry.
If something has changed and you’re trying to figure out who you are in this season of your life, we can start there.
