Asli Schoone, MS, LCMHCA
Therapy for Children, Teens, Adults, and Couples in Wilmington NC
Offers in person and virtual therapy appointments.
Currently accepting MedCost, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Aetna only.
You are not just scheduling a therapy session. You are beginning a new chapter.
If you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns that feel impossible to break, you are not alone. Whether you are navigating trauma, OCD, an eating disorder, or relationship challenges, therapy can offer a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.
I work with children, teens, adults, and couples who want life to feel different but may not feel strong enough yet to make change on their own. My role is to help you reconnect with the strength that already exists within you, even if it feels buried by pain, fear, burnout, or long periods of survival mode. Together, we will make sense of what you are experiencing, clarify what you need, and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control again.
My approach to therapy is trauma informed, collaborative, and deeply relational. I draw from evidence based practices while also believing that therapy should feel human, not clinical or impersonal. I will meet you with honesty, compassion, and authenticity, and I will tailor our work to fit your story rather than forcing you into a one size fits all approach.
With a background in crisis response, victim advocacy, and law enforcement, I understand how disempowering it can feel to live in a constant state of survival. I have also seen how powerful it can be when someone begins to reconnect with their own resilience and sense of agency.
You do not have to stay stuck. You do not have to be strong to begin. Therapy can be the place where you begin to feel strong again.

Therapy for Young Adults and Adults in Wilmington NC
Offers in person and virtual therapy appointments.
Are you a human being with complex emotions? Perfect. You are exactly who therapy is for.
I offer a genuine, personable approach to therapy, with a dash of humor, to create a comfortable and welcoming space where we can explore unproductive behaviors and thought patterns that may no longer be serving you. My goal is to help you move toward a more authentic life, because living in alignment with who you truly are is often key to finding fulfillment and happiness. I genuinely believe this is possible, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
I use a person centered, nonjudgmental approach, treating every individual as unique. There is no one size fits all model for healing, so I work from an eclectic counseling style, carefully selecting evidence-based techniques and interventions that best fit your specific needs, goals, and experiences.
Asking for help is often the hardest part of starting therapy. If you have read this far, you have already taken an important step. I am here to guide you the rest of the way, answer your questions, and support you as you begin or continue your therapeutic journey.
Feel free to call or email if you would like to learn more. I would be happy to connect and see if we are a good fit. I hope to meet you soon.
Traci Klasing, MA, LPC, LCMHC
Therapy for Adults and Professionals in North Carolina and Missouri
Offers in person and virtual therapy appointments.
Hello, and welcome. I am glad you are here and considering therapy as part of your wellness journey.
I am an experienced therapist with dual licensure in Professional Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling in both Missouri and North Carolina, as well as an Approved Clinical Supervisor. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years, not only as a clinician, but also as an educator teaching counseling and psychology coursework. My work has allowed me to support clients across many seasons of life, both in person and through teletherapy.
I believe counseling is a collaborative process, and I often describe my approach with the motto “follow, don’t lead.” Therapy is not about being told what to do. It is about working together to better understand what you need, where you feel stuck, and how to move forward in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
My areas of focus include career transitions and professional stress, parenting support, anxiety and depression, relationship concerns, bariatric evaluations, and women’s issues. I am also a subject matter expert in counseling theory, which informs my ability to thoughtfully tailor therapy to each individual rather than relying on a one size fits all approach.
In addition to clinical work, I provide clinical supervision for LCMHC associates and enjoy supporting clinicians as they navigate the licensure process. If you are seeking supervision, I would be happy to explore whether we are a good fit for that journey as well.
I would welcome the opportunity to work with you and see if we are a good fit as a team. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
