Hello! My name is Lou and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Originally from New York, I earned my MSW at Howard University. I also hold a graduate degree in Forensic Psychology. I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings including community health based organizations, inpatient psychiatric units and out patient work with individuals, children and families. I am well versed in school based mental health and also have experience in court and legal settings in both New York and Washington DC.
My approach is client centered. I am committed to meeting clients where they are, fostering a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
My work spans across diverse populations, with a special focus on BIPOC communities. I strive to incorporate an understanding of cultural perspectives into my practice. This holistic approach ensures that each client's unique background and experiences are respected and valued.

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.
