More about Lamar
- 28 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW-R
I am licensed in New York City and hold a provisional social work license in Florida. I have over twenty five years of inpatient and outpatient experience in the fields of mental health and substance abuse with children, adolescences and adults. My experience is in helping clients with anxiety/stress disorder, substance abuse and trauma related addiction. I use a combination of CBT and trauma informed therapy to help clients improve their insight related to their symptoms. Most people have the capacity, with assistance, to improve their insight to overcome issues and life challenges. I hope that the work we start together will be supportive and empowering to create change in your life.

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.
