More about Adam

  • 22 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW-R

I have been specializing in working with diverse populations for 20 years at a large community hospital. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I feel that I have the knowledge and experience that can benefit a broad range of clients. I have worked with people with Bipolar Disorder, Depression, and Schizophrenia. I help people with challenges that they face in their relationships. I have also worked in chemical dependency.

Using a person centered approach, I have helped many people work through their issues and make positive changes in their lives, so that they can achieve their individual treatment goals. I have enjoyed the daily challenges of being a licensed social worker.

I have an ability to quickly assess an individual’s needs, and provide recommendations based on need. I provide long and short term therapy to help individuals that are in need of therapeutic counseling services.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

I really like my sessions with Adam thus far. I have only had a couple but feel he listens great and caters to how I would best benefit from our sessions. He checks up on me as well in between sessions which is super nice. Texting is a nice feature with this service. This is my first time in therapy and must say it working well for me so far.
