Hello! Thank you for taking time to read my profile. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and have been working in social services for 30 years. For the past 19 years, I have been providing therapy services to adults and teens. My primary focus in therapy is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and I incorporate aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Strength based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Informed care. My philosophy as a therapist is to approach therapy from a strengths based prospective. I believe that being a therapist is a privileged chair to be in, and my goal is to build on my clients strengths and their skills to manage the challenges that life presents.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
