Not Accepting New Clients at this Time. My name is Jessica and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and Maryland with 20 years' experience in many states on the East Coast. My Masters in Social Work is from Boston University and I love assisting others to make changes and improve their lives. I am currently accepting clients who are looking for messaging or live typing (chat) sessions. I check messages and respond intermittently from 9 AM - 2:30 PM Monday - Friday and have availability for live chat sessions between 10:00 AM-2:30 PM Monday-Friday. We can use about an hour a week through detailed email check-ins (about an hour a week of reading and writing) or a 45-minute weekly live session and a few briefer email check-ins. I have worked with individuals through brief and long-term therapy. I have special expertise in stress reduction, anxiety, career issues, and addiction recovery. It is important to me to really get to know the person I am working with and adapt my counseling style to meet your needs. I like to set practical goals to help you make changes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that solve problems. I try to provide resources and worksheets so you can continue to focus on your growth outside of messaging or live sessions. It is hard to make this first step and I commend you and hope to work with you. Take care of yourself, Jessica Zike, LCSW

As we move through the therapeutic process, we will get to know each other, begin to develop a plan, incorporate strategies to assist you in increasing calm, collectedness, and confidence, ultimately leading to better decision making and better outcomes. The way I see it, let’s take the pressure off. Every experience is practice for the next experience. No one here is perfect (sorry to break it to ya!), but with every experience we can gain insight and knowledge into who we are and who we want to become. If you feel like we would be a good match, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Be easy. -Mike

30 years offering treatment

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Maryland. I have over 30 years experience counseling families and individuals and training graduate students to become counselors. In that time I've helped people with anxiety, depression, abandonment, physical and sexual abuse, grief and loss, family conflict and trauma recovery among other issues. Since I know that the decision to seek professional help for very personal concerns can feel risky, I like to take my time getting to know you before I make any suggestions or draw any conclusions about your life. My style is friendly and informal. I tend to focus on your strengths and abilities when we talk. You'll find that I'm much more interested in your successes than your failures. My therapeutic orientations are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Positive Psychology. Although we can't imagine it when we're in distress, we are actually in charge of our thoughts, feelings and behavior. Since thoughts produce emotions and emotions drive behavior we'll be spending time recognizing how that works for you. Remember, you are in charge of how you function. My professional and life experience has taught me that the generous application of humor, whenever possible, is good medicine. No bad side effects and it's totally free.

5 years offering treatment

Hi! I am licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland with 5 years of professional work experience after licensing. I’ve predominantly worked with children, teens, and transitional aged youth as well as their families. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ related issues/life events, relationship issues, trauma, and family conflicts. I hold a few beliefs in my practice that play a major factor in how I provide services: You are the expert on you. And for that reason, I encourage those I work with to actively share their thoughts on interventions and information we learn in session, especially if something doesn’t feel like it personally fit with them. With honesty, vulnerability, and curiosity we can explore further to better understand and work with your sense of self. Not every approach works for everybody. I am well trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) / Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), and Integral Family Systems (IFS) therapy to name a few. For many people I’ve worked with, we have blended a few of these models based on what is needed at the moment. And especially given my background working with a wide demographic range (age, race, culture, belief, interest, etc.), I have adapted key concepts and skills to multiple learning and engagement styles. If the way we are working on something doesn’t fit or click with you, I’ll be happy to work with you to find a way what will. This is your treatment; you set the focus, the agenda, the pace. Designing person-centered treatment is what I do best. While I might suggest goals and a plan of action it is up to you whether that is the path we take. It’s my job to help you on your journey of growth and discovery, and to support you when we reach those moments of growth that are uncomfortable. But at the end of the day, I take my cues from you so we can work with your system and not against it. I am committed to work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change and a better understanding of self. I would be honored to support and empower you in that journey.

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

  • With therapists: $100-300

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.
