Before Helene I hated therapy. It feels like people telling lies you wanna hear and they take your money after. Helene cared, was diligent, took initiative, and made my visits something to look forward to every week. She. Makes. Time.

More about Helene

Hi, I am Hélène Diop is a licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC & LCAD Board-Approved Supervisor in the State of Maryland for more than 14 years. I have treated and supported individuals, couples, and families on three continents – Europe, North & South America – as well as various states in the US. My cross-cultural professional trainings and experiences over the years has uniquely equipped me to understand that a person’s challenges in life are often resolved by effectively negotiating one’s worldview’s demands and the context in which a person currently lives. I tailor my treatment approaches to my clients/patients’ needs and strengths. I do not believe that “One size fit all” would be the most effective approach in the field of psychology. I have experience in supporting/treating individuals/families with related legal issues (Substance Use Disorders, Drug & Mental Health Court), as well as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, mental health crisis, and relationship issues. I base my clinical practice on integrative approaches such as: Schema, Psychoanalyses, Emotional Intelligence, Reality, Solution Focused therapies, and some aspects of the Gottman approach of couple therapy.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Helene Diop has helped me through a difficult period with a direct and easy to understand way to process my situation. I highly recommend her.
Throughout my life I have worked with many therapists. I wouldn't recommend any of them other than Helene. Her approach supports my need to intellectualize and compartmentalize my mental health struggles with the demands of life. I find her approach unique and highly effective.
Helene was very helpful
Helene is extremely professional and very knowledgeable. She has given me useful tools for dealing with my challenges and is very adept at finding ways to incorporate theory into practice. I’m very grateful for her assistance.
Mrs Diop offer many ways to look at your problems and allows you to ask questions for further understanding. I like her philosophy on what is healthy vs unhealthy behavior. Parent - child relationship with your significant other and not asking for permission but having better communication with significant other
I am very happy with the help she has provided
Helene is a great therapist. She is very knowledgeable and approachable.
Wow! After just1 official session, I have been able to express so many things and actually feel heard! Helene held me accountable for my own actions and that’s just what I needed. Thank you for all you do. I’m looking forward to having Helene around while and even after I make changes in my life.
Very clear, honest, organized, and someone that will provide structured guidance to embark upon how to best help you grow.
Wonderful lady! I'm going to miss her.
