Juliana Sarkodee, LICSW, LCSW-C
About me
I am a clinical social worker licensed in the District of Columbia and Maryland. I have provided services in the mental health and child welfare setting for more than 10 years. My clinical approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I use my skill set to assist clients to discover their strengths and improve on coping skills they have utilized and learn new approaches. I work with deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing clients. With hearing clients, we will use live chat or video with live captions. The clients will determine the options that are comfortable for them.
I believe that the clients are experts on what works on the issues they face. I have worked with clients on anxiety. adjustment issues, trauma, and stress-related concerns, coping with life changes using the strength-based, solution-focused approach as well as motivational interviews.

I am so grateful to have had Juliana as my therapist. She helped me tremendously throughout the year and provided such a safe space for me to explore my feelings and gain insight into how I can continue growing. Her approach was incredibly skillful and effective, allowing me to make meaningful progress in my healing journey.
I feel confident that I can continue to use the strategies she shared with me and move forward in my life. I will always be grateful for her help during this time. Thank you, Juliana!

After one session with Juliana, I received good support and several suggestions, which I followed and met success. I did have to listen carefully to her and make sure I understood her; but she certainly understood me and my situation.

I am a fast-talking, overly busy, highly introspective person and Juliana is exactly what I needed to slow down, focus on one challenge at a time, try new techniques and perspectives, and develop sustainable strategies. She is good at listening and tailoring her suggestions to get more traction, but also knows when to nudge you to try something. She also does an incredible job of circling back and revisiting topics to check in so therapy feels like it’s progress along an arc of improvement, not just a series of sporadic conversations.
