Talya was helpful and supportive to me during the time we worked together. One of the main things that stood out to me was her reminding me to check in with how I feel rather than depending on someone else’s feelings before making a decision.

More about Talya
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am an LCSW with almost 20 years of experience. I've worked in California and Maryland, and in many settings including school, medical/hospitals and grief/end of life care. I also grew up overseas and have a keen awareness in culture, and cultural effects on mental health. I have helped clients explore issues with grief, adjustment to life changes, immigration issues, caregiving issues, parenting, adjustment to parenting, especially new mothers, as well as anxiety and distorted thinking around anxiety.
My counseling style is warm, supportive and I believe in helping my clients find their strengths, and their solutions through a supportive alliance. I use modalities from humanistic therapy, client centered therapy as well as cognitive behavior therapy. My goal is to help you find and access your own strengths and solutions.
Seeking out therapy can be scary, and I commend you for taking the first steps. I look forward to being an ally for you, and working with you.

About online counseling

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.
