More about Ethan
- 3 years' experience

- LCSW
Hello and Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with over 4 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is eclectic in nature; meaning I combine several different treatment theories and modalities based on each client's individual needs. My approach may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, client center approach, solution-focused, narrative therapy, and more. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to reach out for help and take the first steps toward positive change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Ethan I’d a great therapist and I would highly recommend him to anyone
Ethan is great! And I would highly recommend him.
Feels like he genuinely listens and attempts to guide the session in the best possible way without becoming a dominating force.
Ethan's soothing demeanor is evident he has chosen the perfect profession.
Ethan is a great, gentle, and supportive therapist. He sees my concerns and wants from a counselor and acts accordingly. Super kind and accommodating, he's really helped me think through some tough stuff and been a huge point of encouragement in my life.
I find Ethan to be helpful I’m offering me tools to guide myself to reach my goals. He listens to me and gives me time to talk and open up about things I’ve never spoke about. He is a great listener. I often talk about BetterHelp and Ethan to my friends and coworkers because of how good it makes me feel!
