More about Pamela
- 19 years' experience

- LCPC
I have been a licensed professional clinical counselor (LCPC) for the last 19 years. I received my Masters of Science degree from the University of Baltimore in 2002. I got my supervisory clinical license in 2011 to help new practioners in the field of mental health. I have worked in a variety of settings, but my longest tenure was in a community outpatient mental health agency, where I was fortunate enough to work with a diverse population of patients. I have specialization and certifications in parenting and co-parenting training. I am also trained in CISM (critical incident stress management) for PTSD and problems associated with traumatic events. I enjoy helping people work through depression, anxiety and general life stressors as well. I am trained to work with clients on trauma through TF-CBT, as well as- attachment models of care. I have also worked as a therapist for executive business leaders. I have also had experience working with transitional age individuals from 18-25 years old, helping individuals find their place in the world and making a plan for their future. My experience offers depth and diversity to any individual that seeks counseling with me. I have a humanistic approach and I understand that everyone is trying to do the best they can at this thing called life.
I want to meet any new patient where they are and will work to encourage positive change. I help people identify underlying causes of symptoms and provide strategies for changing unwanted thoughts and behaviors. I hope to equip you with the skills to manage symptoms, reduce stress, and improve your quality of life. I will help you learn skills for handling difficult situations, making healthy decisions, and reaching your goals.

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.
