More about Pamela
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with 11 years of experience, offering online therapy for individuals across Pennsylvania. I specialize in helping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma (including PTSD), self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, including grandparents raising grandchildren, those navigating divorce, and individuals managing anger, financial struggles, or significant life changes.
I strive to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I believe that “one size fits one”—your story is unique, and therapy should reflect that. Together, we’ll address the challenges you’re facing in a supportive and compassionate space.
My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strength-based strategies, and positive psychology to help you build on your abilities, develop effective tools, and create lasting change. Every session is tailored to your unique needs and goals to ensure our work together is meaningful to you.
Starting therapy can feel challenging, but it’s an important and positive step. I’m here to help you work toward the changes you want to make in your life.

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.
