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.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Coaching, ADHD, Abandonment, Adoption and Foster Care, Attachment issues, Avoidant Personality, Caregiver issues and stress, Codependency, Commitment Issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), Divorce and separation, Domestic Violence, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, Family Problems, Fatherhood Issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Men's issues, Midlife crisis, Money and financial issues, Mood disorders , Multicultural Concerns, Narcissism, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Phobias, Post-traumatic stress, Pregnancy and childbirth, Prejudice and Discrimination, Process addiction (porn, exercise, gambling), Self-Harm, Self-love, Sex Addiction, Sexual Assault and Abuse, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues, Workplace issues, Young Adult Issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Helene Diop. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
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.

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
