Feeling unsure about what comes next?
Some students feel stuck because they have too many options. Others feel stuck because they don’t feel excited about any of them.
This is where career counseling can help—not by deciding for you, but by helping you understand yourself more clearly.
At Still Point Wellness Co., Anna Coello provides supportive, structured career counseling and college planning for teens, young adults, and families navigating questions about direction, identity, and the future.
Sessions are available in-person in Pineville and virtually across North Carolina.
Parents often reach out when they notice their teen is capable—but overwhelmed, unmotivated, or uncertain about next steps.
This service may be a good fit if you or your teen is:
• Feeling unsure about college, majors, or career direction
• Struggling with motivation or feeling “behind”
• Interested in exploring strengths, interests, and personality fit
• Navigating ADHD or executive functioning challenges that affect planning
• Feeling pressure about “figuring it out” without clarity
• Transitioning from high school to college or early adulthood
• Looking for support that includes both emotional and practical guidance
What career counseling looks like
Career counseling at Still Point is not a single test or a quick recommendation.
It is a process that helps teens and young adults build clarity over time through:
Planning and next steps
We turn insight into action—college planning, applications, exploration, or skill-building pathways.
Decision support
We work through uncertainty, pressure, and overthinking so decisions feel grounded rather than overwhelming.
Direction-building
We look at academic pathways, career possibilities, and real-world options that align with who you are.
Self-understanding
We explore strengths, interests, values, learning style, and personality patterns.
Common areas of focus
Career exploration and identity development
College major selection and planning support
ADHD-informed academic and executive functioning support
Life transitions and independence readiness
Confidence building and decision-making support
LGBTQ+ affirming identity exploration in relation to future planning
Anna works with teens, young adults, and couples who are navigating transitions, identity questions, and future planning.
Her style is warm, collaborative, and practical—balancing emotional support with structured guidance so clients don’t feel lost in the process.
She is especially passionate about helping young people who feel uncertain about their direction begin to build clarity and confidence in who they are and what comes next.
Anna works with:
• Teens (13+)
• College-age young adults
• Parents seeking support for their teen’s transition process
• Individuals navigating ADHD, identity exploration, or life direction uncertainty

About Anna Coello
Why this approach is different
Many career planning services focus only on tests, rankings, or external outcomes.
At Still Point, we also focus on:
• emotional readiness for decision-making
• identity development
• internal motivation and confidence
• values-based direction
• reducing anxiety and overwhelm around the future
Because clarity is not just about choosing a path—it’s about feeling grounded enough to move forward.
Begin the process
If your teen or young adult is feeling uncertain, stuck, or overwhelmed about their future, career counseling can provide a structured place to sort through options and build direction.
You don’t need to have answers before starting.

What is the difference between career counseling and therapy?
Career counseling focuses on clarifying your path, professional goals, and educational choices. Therapy addresses mental health, relationships, and emotional well-being more broadly.
That said, career decisions often involve real emotions — anxiety, self-doubt, fear of failure. As a licensed therapist with experience in vocational and life transitions, Anna understands that choosing a career is rarely just about finding a job. It's about understanding who you are and how you want to spend your time and talents.
How do I know if career counseling is right for me?
Career counseling can help if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied with your current path. You don't need to have things figured out before reaching out.
It may be a good fit if you're choosing a college major, unsure what career suits you, considering a change, feeling burned out, returning to school or the workforce, or looking for greater purpose and direction — whether you're a student, young professional, or mid-career adult.
I feel behind in my career. Can counseling help?
Absolutely. Many people seek career counseling because they feel like everyone else has figured out their future while they're still searching for direction.
Comparing yourself to peers can create feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt over time. Career counseling helps you move away from measuring your life against someone else's timeline and focus on your own goals, strengths, and values — identifying what's keeping you stuck and developing a realistic plan forward.
How do I figure out what I actually care about, not just what I'm good at?
Many people know what they're capable of doing but aren't sure what they genuinely enjoy or find meaningful. Career counseling helps you discover the connection between your interests, personality, strengths, and long-term goals.
Anna incorporates assessments like the MBTI and Enneagram to help clients gain deeper self-awareness. These tools don't tell you what career to choose — they help identify paths, work environments, and opportunities that align with who you are.
What is it actually like to work with Anna? What happens in career counseling sessions?
Career counseling with Anna is collaborative, supportive, and action-oriented. Sessions may include exploring career interests, identifying strengths and values, using personality assessments, clarifying goals, working through self-doubt or decision paralysis, and building practical action plans.
Anna brings experience as both a mental health counselor and school counselor-in-training, with a focus on helping people navigate life, educational, and career transitions — whether you're choosing a career for the first time, considering a change, or simply feeling stuck.
