More about Novella
- 32 years' experience

- LCSW
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri for over 25 years. I have recently moved to New Mexico but retain my Missouri license. . I have a Masters degree in Psychology (from a Systems perspective) from Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Kansas. I am quite holistic, aware that we are all multi-faceted. I have accumulated a lot of "tools in my toolkit" along the way and work to find the best approaches and strategies for each client. Talking about the problem is only one approach to make changes. I have worked a lot with people who have depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and trauma. I also have experience working with people in the LGBTQ+ community.
I am compassionate and believe every person has dignity, strengths and value. I love to help people find ways to help them thrive, instead of just survive. I look forward to working with you.

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.

Novella is a fantastic therapist and her suggestions have helped me transform my life.
Novella has been extremely helpful to me in the short time we have been talking. She is affirming, practical, and supportive. I've talked with 2 other therapists in my life, and I can honestly say that Novella has been the most helpful in getting right to the heart of the issues.
I’ve had a few sessions with Novella and she’s already on the pulse of my concerns. She’s organized and spends our time wisely. She has compassion, expertise and makes me feel safe. I look forward to our sessions.
Novella is very engaged, listens intently, and provides different perspectives to help reevaluate habits and decision making. The tools and techniques recommended have been very useful in calming my temper and identifying repeated behavior to recognize when I am acting out of habit.
Very calm and respectful. Listens with intent and asks questions in a relevant and insightful way. Kind and understanding.
Novella so far is awesome
