Lemlem is fantastic, and I'm so happy I matched with her as my counselor. She's warm and friendly, which is perfect if you're nervous about talking to someone, like I was before I started. She knows nuances of situations really well, and she frequently brought up things that I never would have thought of.

I am a clinical therapist licensed in Maryland since 2012 and my clinical specialization focuses on helping you manage and overcome depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, post-traumatic stress disorder, and sexual trauma.
I have been told that my counseling style is warm and compassionate. I treat everyone with respect, I listen actively, and I am sensitive to your needs. I believe that individuals can heal better in a therapeutic relationship that provides a comfortable and empathic environment. As a clinician, I provide individual therapy that is based on your strengths from an eclectic integrated theoretical perspective. I primarily utilize humanistic, existential, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches. Your treatment plan and our time together will be designed to meet your needs.
Sometimes obstacles can get in the way of reaching our greatest successes in life. Whether you are adjusting to a life event, having trouble managing your anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed, you have come to the right place. I look forward to taking this journey with you!

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.
