Listening is basic to a positive relationship between you and I. Your story, your needs and your goals are most important to managing stress and reaching your goals. I am a licensed social worker and supervisor in Maryland (WDC area). I have both a MSW and Ph.D. in social work as well as working as a facilitator of curricula for sexual health and peer-led support services. Most people I work with have anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and issues of grief and loss (often related to family, fertility, illness or separation/divorce). I have worked for 20+ years in inpatient and clinic settings for those with substance abuse disorders and will people who are using prescribed medication to treat mental health issues. I am a parent, dog lover, and spend my leisure time DIY-ing, reading, writing non-fiction. I blog with my sister at catanddowlonline.blogspot.com.

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.
