More about Dru
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients to cope with substance abuse addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, grief and loss, & parenting issues. I have been able to use my skills in different settings such as a mental health institution, an addiction treatment center, foster care and adoption agencies, and an adolescent group home. I am passionate about bringing hope and healing to individuals and families.
I am certified in Trust-Based Relational Intervention®, and I was a certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor for 2 years. I utilize a client-centered and strengths based approach to therapy. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to include, cognitive-behavioral, psycho-educational, trauma-informed, attachment theory, mindfulness, and story engagement. I am fascinated and deeply moved by each individual’s story from beginning to end. I enjoy “connecting the dots” to how our past experiences affect our mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual behaviors, both healthy and unhealthy. Everyone has a story, and I would love to assist you in telling yours.
My availability for sessions is usually between 9AM-1PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

About online counseling

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.

She’s helpful and peaceful and professional!
I was never someone who thought therapy would be necessary. I’m high-achieving, happy, executive but my lifestyle doesn’t allow for a lot of friendships. For those that I have, I try not to spend our time hashing out work or personal stuff. I knew I wanted to talk to someone about my life but I had no idea how much I *needed* this time! For me, it was crucial to have someone that understood the life of a corporate executive, as well, as the personal stuff that life throws at all of us. I look forward to my time with Dru every week. For me, she’s part therapy and executive sounding board. We talk about whatever is on my mind that week—difficult employees, challenging family, health issues, you name it. She’s helped me through the diagnosis of a rare disease, the insanity of my career, and most importantly communication with my family. I’m so glad to have been matched with her from the beginning.
Dru is amazing. She listens and really understands my needs and expectations from therapy!
Great therapist
Dru is amazing! This was my first time trying therapy, and I was honestly very skeptical. After my first session with Dru, that hesitancy immediately went away! I appreciate how she makes me feel seen and heard! While I know she’s on my side, I also appreciate that she doesn’t hesitate to call out my wrongs as well. She’s not one sided and helps me look at situations from multiple perspectives while offering the necessary support. Since starting therapy with her, I am much more aware of my feelings, triggers, etc. and have learned ways to communicate more effectively. There is so much more I could say, but in all I just want to thank her for being awesome!
She is wonderful. I’ve had lots of therapy in the past and didn’t think she would have anything else to offer but she did. Wonderful
Dry is great. I would highly recommend her!
She is the best
Dru is very kind, compassionate, and understanding. I throughly enjoy working with her.
Listens attentively and gives the advice I need to hear not what I want to hear.
Great therapist
Dru has been so helpful with helping me navigate my grief and anxiety. She has helped me learn how to function in society while also taking time to properly grieve.
I’ve only had one live session so far but she was absolutely wonderful! Never felt so cared for! I felt like I actually had a voice!
Very easy to talk to! Gives you ways of thinking/processing situations and emotions that are easy to understand and help! Highly recommended!
I appreciate working with Dru so much! She takes the time and attention to find informational articles and worksheets to help with the topic at hand. I feel seen and listened to!
She is a wonderful therapist and she listens to all my concerns and helps me in the best way possible and she understands me so well
Greatly appreciate her
