Hi there, and welcome! First things first: Pat yourself on the back for taking a significant step just by coming to this website. My name is Laurie Dubrow, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. For nearly 20 years, I've worked at schools, in private and group practices and at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, PA (where I spent almost 12 months on a special project involving teenagers and young adults with serious health concerns). The issues that have brought people to my offices have included: anxiety, ADHD, anger that doesn't diminish or can't be easily contained, depression, division in the family, deceit, divorce, feelings of not measuring up, a friendship or relationship gone awry, jealousy, one's ; unreciprocated love, marital woes, money problems. Other issues include: cheating, problems with parents, siblings or kids; emotional or physical abuse; and trauma.
A graduate of Bryn Mawr's Graduate School of Social Work & Social Research, I come with a hefty toolbox that includes such interventions and therapies as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, solution-focused or emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and narrative therapy.
But enough about me. What's going on with you, and how can I help?

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.
