More about Silka
- 10 years' experience

- LCSW
My name is Silka Steele; I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) located in the state of Virginia. I work passionately with children, families, and provided mental health support for the past 10 years within many capacities.
Therapy with me is built on rapport, judgment-free, and leaves you feeling safe and empowered. My counseling style is motivating and collaborative. I am a believer that everyone has a life purpose and the inner strength that will impact change. You are the writer of your story!
I specialize in the healing process and will help you navigate through childhood and generational trauma, anger management, stress management, relationship problems, self-esteem related issues, veteran, and active military.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
