Joy Rabon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients in Alabama, North Carolina, and Illinois. She is also a registered telehealth provider in Florida, offering virtual counseling across all four states. 

With over 32 years of experience in public, private, and school settings, Joy brings a broad and well-rounded perspective to her work. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, and her Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. She later completed coursework for School Counseling Licensure at Appalachian State.

After nearly two decades living in Boone, North Carolina, Joy now lives in Dothan, Alabama. She remains deeply connected to the Boone and Blowing Rock area, which she affectionately calls “home-home,” and her experiences there continue to inform her perspective.

Joy’s approach is relaxed, conversational, collaborative, and reflective. She actively engages with clients throughout their healing journey and integrates Narrative and Solution-Focused Therapy with holistic, systemic, neuroscience-informed, and traditional methods. Her work tends to resonate with people who are curious about themselves, open to reflection, willing to notice patterns, and ready to engage actively in growth and change.

She has a special interest in working with traumatic stress and takes a whole-person approach that considers mind, body, brain, and spirit. Known for her direct yet compassionate style, Joy creates a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to shift perspectives and experience meaningful change.

Outside of work, Joy enjoys time with her significant other, family, friends, her cats, bunny, and grand-kitty. She loves traveling, thrifting, exploring nature, watching a comfort or mind-bending TV series, and is currently learning German as a fun way to enhance her traveling experiences.

Joy’s goal is to provide a compassionate, personalized space where clients can explore, heal, and grow—moving toward greater balance, clarity, and well-being.
