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.
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.
