Stu has really helped me build a framework for dealing with my anxiety.

Reviewed June 2021

I have felt very comfortable with Stuart. I have had therapists in the past I was comfortable with but Stuart has surpassed them. I have been able to talk about and work through a variety of things, some I didn't expect to open up about, ever! I feel like Stuart has a wealth of knowledge that has been invaluable to my situation(s) I am currently going through. I look forward to my therapy sessions with Stuart every week, I am starting to feel like myself again in some ways because of the work we are doing together and will continue to do.

More about Stuart

  • 9 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. I graduated with my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University in 2016. Since that time, I have worked with adolescents and adults in a variety of different settings. I have worked with anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, relationships, communication problems, grief and loss, psychosis, mood disorders, and LGBTIA+-related concerns.

I strive to provide clients with a safe space to feel respected, heard and understood. I support clients in building effective communication skills, fostering meaningful relationships, practicing appropriate social skills, utilizing healthy coping strategies, and establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries to generate positive change. I use an eclectic, strengths-based, trauma-informed approach to therapy that is integrative and collaborative. I strive to be client-centered by working to tailor sessions to each individual’s needs and goals. I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and other Cognitive Behavioral therapies.

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.

Stuart is compassionate and knows how to listen. I’m in the mental health field myself and use BetterHelp to maintain confidentiality and to avoid having counseling sessions with other colleagues. Stuart is great at providing feedback and is so helpful as I have a stressful job.

I have only had two session with Stuart so far, but in those two sessions he has supported and validated me without coddling me, and that's a hard line to walk. I'm definitely optimistic about continuing to work with Stuart.

Stu is a counselor whose love for people and music comes through in his counseling. He is caring and says profound things that have changed my perspective and affirmed my self worth. This was my first time with online counseling and it was just what I needed at the time. I am so thankful to Stu.

Stuart is empathetic and knows when to push you and when to back off during anxiety and depression! In three sessions I feel like I have control over the swings in extreme moods and will continue working with Stuart in the future.
