About me
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with independent licensure in Nevada, North Carolina, and South Carolina. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and have completed continuing education in cultural competence, particularly focused on the African American community. I’ve also pursued specialized training in supporting clients with depression, alcohol use disorder, and other mood and behavioral concerns.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I define success as helping clients recognize their growth and celebrate progress—no matter how small. I believe therapy should feel supportive, empowering, and personalized to your unique journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marika Dillard. 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.
Marika is great and offers practical skills and coping mechanism to deal with my day to day issues and other things I am dealing with. She is respectful, yet still tells me the things I don’t always want to hear.
