More about Juliana

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW, LCSW-C

I am a clinical social worker licensed in the District of Columbia and Maryland. I have provided services in the mental health and child welfare setting for more than 10 years. My clinical approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I use my skill set to assist clients to discover their strengths and improve on coping skills they have utilized and learn new approaches. I work with deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing clients. With hearing clients, we will use live chat or video with live captions. The clients will determine the options that are comfortable for them.

I believe that the clients are experts on what works on the issues they face. I have worked with clients on anxiety. adjustment issues, trauma, and stress-related concerns, coping with life changes using the strength-based, solution-focused approach as well as motivational interviews.

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.

God bless Juliana Sarkodee! She is truly a Bible based, Christian, woman of God!

Reviewed February 2023

I am a fast-talking, overly busy, highly introspective person and Juliana is exactly what I needed to slow down, focus on one challenge at a time, try new techniques and perspectives, and develop sustainable strategies. She is good at listening and tailoring her suggestions to get more traction, but also knows when to nudge you to try something. She also does an incredible job of circling back and revisiting topics to check in so therapy feels like it’s progress along an arc of improvement, not just a series of sporadic conversations.
