More about Emmanuella
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC
Hello, my name is Emmanuella Owobu a licensed therapist. I present myself fully, and professionally in helping willing clients develop the right coping skills to better handle successfully, challenging life, behavioral and mental issues like anger management, anxiety related disorders, trauma related disorders, bipolar related disorders, depression, suicidal thoughts, aging, effective parenting, change of life, grieving, self-esteem, family and couples problems, stress, as well as drug and alcohol use disorders. I provide psychotherapy, assessment, diagnosis, substance abuse treatment, and crisis management.
I possess extensive experience in multicultural sensitive therapeutic skills. Able to work with individuals, couples, family and groups. Licensed by the State of Maryland Board of professional counselors in clinical counseling, approved as clinical supervisor and certified in the treatment of drug and alcohol problems.
My knowledge in many theories helps me better work with clients to personalize the direction of treatment best suited for each client. It is my belief that "one size fits all" never works in life stressors and developing the skills to work through them.

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.

Great perspectives!
Emmanuella has been a great source of healing for me. She listens, she shares information to help me and does so in the most compassionate way. In a short period of time I can see and feel a difference within myself based on her help.
She is very supportive and encouraging. Brings perspective to the situation.
Emmanuella is wonderful to work with. She is attentive and intuitive and she gets right to the point in an encouraging manner. I appreciate her proactive manner especially when I'm wallowing in my frustrations and feelings. She avoids scolding and redirects me towards the Lord and his truth. I really like how we finish each session by setting a course of action for the week and I always come away from our time together feeling encouraged and energized to keep working on myself and my relationships with the help of a God.
She is PHENOMENAL!!!! My life has completely changed in a positive way. I can’t thank her enough. I want to write a book but I don’t have the words to express my gratitude. 10/10 stars ⭐️
Emmanuella is exceptional. She is always supportive, has great reflections on my thoughts, and she challenges me in ways I did not know I needed. I am grateful to have her professionalism and expertise at this time in my life.
My Therapist, Emmanuella is insightful. She has made me think critically about what I want and need in life. She does not just listen. She gives me tangible advice. She is also fun to talk to. I look forward to our conversations every week, even if I have to make up early. I am not a morning person, but she and my mental health are worth it.
Thank you BetterHelp.com for connecting me to a wonderful and amazing therapist Mrs Emma, she listen and advice me professionally.
Emmanuella was thoughtful, helpful and kind. I would happily work with her again.
I feel that my pairing with Emmanuela is nothing short of divine. I have had some deeply rooted issues and pain (and fear) for years. Emmanuela has professionally and empathically reached in to help me start to heal. I am thankful to God that I have found this amazing therapist! God sent me exactly what I needed. And I am truly on the road to recovery.
