Administrative Staff
Anneisha Lynch
My name is Anneisha Lynch. I have the pleasure of being the Office Administrator at Clear Vision Counseling, LLC. I work at the forefront of CVC and will likely be the first person you interact with on your journey to seeking counseling. My mission is to ensure you are provided adequate information and a warm welcome when deciding to begin your journey at CVC.
I serve as the office's initial contact person and assist with several tasks such as intake of referrals, scheduling appointments, insurance and billing, and many other tasks. I enjoy ensuring that the client’s needs are met while ensuring that each client is paired with a clinician who is not only knowledgeable about the client's concerns but also works with their preferences such as scheduling and types of sessions.
I graduated from Elizabeth City State University in Elizabeth City, NC, with my B.S. in Psychology. I will be graduating from the University of Arizona Global Campus (Ashford University) in May 2023 with an M.A. in Psychology. I have experience working in various mental health settings such as group homes, acute psychiatric hospitals, and as a Registered Behavior Technician.
I enjoy cooking, creating personalized arts/crafts and accessories, discussing budgets/savings, listening to music, and all things iced coffee related in my spare time.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University, a COAMFTE accredited program. COAMFTE accreditation holds its programs to the highest standards of Family Systems education and training.
My goal is to help people be more successful in their interpersonal relationships. I believe that working in collaboration with the family, individual or couple to determine what has been going well for them, then working out a plan to do more of it, leads to open dialogue about what needs to be done differently to be more successful.
The clients are the experts on their lives and know best what will be sustainable. The therapeutic work done in session will allow for all parties to find ways they can work together to get to where they see themselves wanting to be.
