More about Munsu

  • 24 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCPC

My last 24 years experience is mainly focused on the client's population with Severe Mental Illness with schizophrenia, schizoaffective, and mood related disorders with paranoia and delusion. From telehealth therapy, I can provide therapeutic direction for the client and family based on my experiences. If I believe that the client needs a higher level of care, I will specify the care plan and explain what additional services might work best for the client. 

I am licensed in Maryland. I got an MS in counseling from Johns Hopkins University. I got a BS in psychology in George Mason University.

About online counseling

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.

Mr. Kwon, over the past year, has helped me with a whole host of challenges. I am a recovering alcoholic and I live with clinical depression and anxiety issues. Since working with Mr. Kwon I have a better understanding of my depression and anxiety. And with this understanding, my depression and anxiety episodes are becoming less frequent and more manageable. Mr. Kwon is unfailingly supportive, insightful, intuitive, trustworthy and compassionate.

Munsu Kwon has been very helpful to me and my efforts in sorting out life challenges. He creates dialog that brings me to conclusions and realizations on my own. This is enormously helpful to me. Other threapists I've engaged with have not provided this level of therapy and corresponding results.

This guy is amazing. He tells you how it is with no BS. I can't wait to come back to him for single sessions as I am having couples issues and need to change therapists for someone that wouldn't be "on my side". If you want help I suggest you don't look further!
