Find a licensed online therapist in Harriettsville, OH

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. My job isn’t to judge you, tell you who you should be, or give you textbook answers. It’s to understand what’s going on, help you figure out what’s underneath it, and most importantly, help you do something with that understanding. I’ve been a clinical counselor for more than 20 years, and my approach is straightforward, practical, and action-based. Therapy should be a two-way street. We’ll talk, dig into what’s happening and why, but we’ll also work on real-life tools and strategies you can actually use when you walk out the door. Insight matters. What you do with it matters even more. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger and stress, relationship and family struggles, marriage and divorce, work and career issues, spirituality, self-esteem, life transitions, and the general feeling that something in life just isn’t working anymore. I have particularly extensive experience helping people struggling with alcohol and drugs, as well as people trying to make sense of trauma, loss, and experiences that continue to affect them long after they happened. I also understand that people are complicated. What looks like anxiety may have something underneath it. Addiction may have started as a way of surviving or quieting something else. Anger, avoidance, shutting down, overthinking, people-pleasing, or constantly staying busy may have made sense somewhere along the way. I’m interested in figuring out the whole picture—not simply putting a label on what you’re experiencing. I wrote "2Bits" from my own story—the struggles, mistakes, hurt, and lessons that shaped me along the way. It’s about learning through living, sometimes the hard way, and realizing that even the difficult pieces of our lives can teach us something about who we are and where we go next. That perspective is part of what I bring to my work: I don’t just believe people can change because I’ve studied it for 20 years. I’ve seen it, lived parts of it, and spent my career helping others find their own way forward. My background goes well beyond private practice. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in community mental health, crisis intervention and psychiatric hospitalization, alcohol and drug rehabilitation, EAP and DOT services, domestic violence and anger management programs, addiction recovery groups, group homes for troubled youth, case management, hospice care for people with AIDS, a terminally ill children’s unit, and shelters serving runaway and street youth in New York, Harlem, and California. That experience has put me across the table from people in some very difficult places in life. One thing it has reinforced for me is that there is no single type of person who struggles, and there is no single approach that works for everyone. I am nationally certified as both a Master Addiction Counselor (MAC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), and I am independently licensed in Ohio. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from John Carroll University and my Master’s Degree in Counseling and Human Development from Walsh University. I currently have my own telehealth counseling practice and work with clients throughout Ohio and Florida. After more than two decades doing this work, I still don’t believe in assuming I know someone because I know their diagnosis or what they’ve been through. I want to hear your story, understand how you got here, and figure out with you what needs to happen next. Your past matters, but it doesn’t get to make every decision about your future. We’ll work on understanding what’s holding you back—and then we’ll work on what you can actually do about it.

Life can be very difficult, at times, and situations develop when a person can feel "stuck" and have difficulty seeing a way out. I utilize an eclectic approach to counseling and aim to generate a comfortable environment which will eliminate that "under the microscope" feeling, some people tell me they fear when seeking counseling. I initiate counseling with person centered, solution oriented strategies, which will allow the client to begin taking steps toward relieving stress while generating hope for a more fulfilling future. I utilize, active and reflective listening, mirroring, Rational Emotive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as re-framing, and occasionally homework to help enable self motivation and the confidence to achieve personal life successes. I believe that people can learn the confidence to deal with many difficult situations, with encouragement, compassion, self understanding and the acquisition of new skills to approach problems which may arise in the future. I have a MA in counseling from the University of South Florida, with a focus on mental health. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor in the State of Ohio. I started my career in Florida nearly 27 years ago and have my primary experience in dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD and bipolar disorder . I have extensive experience helping adult survivors of abuse as well as having presided over a group home for sexually abused girls. I am neither formal nor rigidly structured in my counseling approach. I believe in treating each person individually and it takes a bit of time to learn about each person's perceptions and history. I work toward being compassionate, understanding and patient in my efforts to help you discover solutions for problems you are experiencing. Though I have studied and respect many religious beliefs, and will do my very best to remain aligned with your personal beliefs, I do not provide religious counseling. Please note that I am not able to provide documentation for court or custody cases regarding counseling outcomes or participation. If you need this type of help, finding someone in your local area would be best. I am not available for help with porn addiction as this is a rather specialized segment in which I am not proficient. I look forward to working with you!
