Hello! My name is Lou and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Originally from New York, I earned my MSW at Howard University. I also hold a graduate degree in Forensic Psychology. I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings including community health based organizations, inpatient psychiatric units and out patient work with individuals, children and families. I am well versed in school based mental health and also have experience in court and legal settings in both New York and Washington DC.
My approach is client centered. I am committed to meeting clients where they are, fostering a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
My work spans across diverse populations, with a special focus on BIPOC communities. I strive to incorporate an understanding of cultural perspectives into my practice. This holistic approach ensures that each client's unique background and experiences are respected and valued.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
