More about Rory

10 years' experience
Female
LMSW

I am a fully licensed Master-level social worker with over 10 years of experience working with children and families in the human services and school settings. I have a degree in Social Work with a focus on family systems, sociology and human sexuality. Throughout my career I have worked with people of various backgrounds and with a variety of needs.

My approach in working with individuals is a nurturing, kind, yet open and direct style. I believe that techniques that work for one person will not work for every person and that we grow by making mistakes and owning them. I will respect you and your beliefs, while challenging some of your thought processes to produce a positive outcome. I view all people from not only an individual perspective but how we are impacted by the systems in which we are a part of, such as our families, upbringings, and relationships. I have experience in working with adolescents, teenagers, young adults and adults in various stages of life.

Seeking and participating in therapy is a brave step for your overall mental, emotional and physical well being. Therapy is not a sign of weakness, rather, it's a sign of strength that you have the ability to see that there is a need and you are helping yourself.

I cannot wait to meet you and help you on your journey in this beautiful life!

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
