I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the states of Alabama with 5 years of professional work experience. I have worked with and still work with individuals, groups, couples with various conflicts and problems. I have extensive experience in helping clients with addictions and severe mental illness such as bipolar or schizophrenia, stress and anxiety, depression, coping with grief and loss, & anger management.
My approach is warm and collaborative helping my clients to find their strengths. I use a different approach's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, some methods from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. (DBT), I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, worth, sensitivity, and compassion. We will work together to create a treatment plan with the goals to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes a-lot of courage to seek help. I admire you for taking this step.

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.
