More about Loretta

  • 35 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and seasoned therapist with extensive experience providing mental health services across diverse settings, including child welfare and educational settings. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a broad range of client populations. This has strengthened my ability to adapt my clinical approach to meet each individual’s unique needs and circumstances.

I support clients navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. My therapeutic style is engaging, collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and solution-focused therapy. I value cultural responsiveness and strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported.

I am skilled in building meaningful therapeutic relationships that I believe will transfer into a virtual environment. My goal is to help clients develop practical coping skills, increase self-awareness, and build resilience so they can move toward greater emotional well-being and a more balanced, fulfilling life. I am committed to ongoing professional growth and to providing accessible, high-quality mental health care through online therapy. I am committed to the highest ethical standards, confidentiality, and professionalism.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
