Therapists in Camden, NJ
Many of us are aware of clinical mental health counseling as a treatment for mental health challenges, but therapy can be beneficial for most of us, for a wide range of reasons. A therapist can offer support and tools to manage life stressors, overcome challenges in your personal or professional life, boost self-awareness, and generally partner with you to facilitate personal growth.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Camden NJ offers more options than many surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be more complicated than reaching out to a local therapist. Within the mental health field, there are a number of therapeutic approaches and specializations that therapists will receive advanced training to master. Which will be most effective can depend on the challenge being addressed and personal preference. For example, a licensed professional counselor who is trained in CBT may be best for someone looking for treatment of mood disorders, while a family therapist may be a better match for someone trying to manage family stress and conflict. Others may prefer holistic care. What you are looking for may not necessarily be accessible or available nearby. That’s where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a variety of Camden-based therapists that specialize in a number of approaches, and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be key to success, if you need to switch therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for busy people. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home.
Whether you have been thinking about therapy for managing stress, repairing relationships, or boosting low self-esteem, reach out to BetterHelp or check out the list of local online therapists below to get started.

Hello, my name is Sarah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey. As a therapist I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space in which individuals can seek help in understanding issues they are facing in order to guide them towards healthy, more balanced functioning. Grounded in a respect for each person’s unique life perspective and choices, I listen closely with a goal of working collaboratively to address individual therapeutic needs. I believe that change and growth take place in the context of the authentic relationship between client and therapist, which is based upon acceptance, compassion, and care. Additionally, I believe that distress is a part of life, and rather than having the unrealistic goal of eliminating distress, I strive to help individuals tolerate, accept, and find meaning in struggle. I treat adults coping with depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, and grief using a variety of treatment approaches based on the client’s needs, to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) among others. I draw on Eastern philosophy in my practice and like to incorporate an element of psychoeducation by sharing articles, books, or other resources when applicable. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. As a clinician I have provided both outpatient and inpatient treatment, worked in psychiatric emergency services, and got my start in community mental health working with seriously mentally ill adults.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and congratulations on taking this step in self-care! Starting therapy can seem scary and intimidating, hopefully, soon, you'll understand how beneficial it can be. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing for approximately 23 years. After receiving my BA in Psychology from Ithaca College, I worked in a psychiatric hospital with all age groups, doing psychological testing, co-leading group therapy, and assisting in the intake process for new patients. I then earned my Masters in Social Work at Adelphi University and worked in the New York City Early Intervention Program. As much as I loved working with this population, I knew I needed to pursue my long-time interest of doing clinical psychotherapy. This led me to my work in community mental health organizations in New York, then New Jersey. In these environments, I was able to work with clients of all ages, presenting with a wide variety of concerns. I ultimately landed at my current position as a Clinical Director of a small, therapeutic school for grades 6-12 in Central New Jersey. Thanks to the clinical experiences I've had, I'm comfortable and familiar with many presenting problems including: Anxiety, Social/School Anxiety and Avoidance, OCD, Depression, Bipolar Disorders, Eating Disorders, those questioning Gender Identity, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Personality Disorders, self-injurious behaviors as well as suicidal ideation, Anger Management, and PTSD. I'm a firm believer that one approach does NOT fit all! After getting to know my clients and understanding their goals, I will incorporate different treatment modalities to fit their needs. People are complex; their needs are constantly changing, I see my role as being a flexible, non-judgemental, empathetic listener who will help my clients feel empowered and confident in their strengths and abilities. Please note that I typically answer messages/emails in the afternoons through approximately 7pm. I am not available on the weekends. I look forward to starting your journey with you!

My focus is primarily couples counseling and men seeking career and/or dating counseling. About my approach: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! These words inspire us to look forward to a bright future, something we can count on as we move through life. But what happens when the life we hoped for slips out of our grasp? When our careers stall, or when our relationships go sour, or when we can’t shake off the effects of painful experiences? Since earning my MS in Clinical Counseling from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, I have learned that each of us is full of talent and potential. We all have something important to contribute to the world. All we need is a way to discover the unique qualities, drives and passions that make us who we are. My approach to treatment is based on Solution Focused Brief Counseling. My goal is to help people find the strong, hopeful and capable parts of their personality and strengthen them in every day life. We do this first by exploring your key relationships and how they have impacted your life over time. Once we uncover your (not so hidden) strengths, we work together to improve your well being. My experience includes working with singles and couples, as well as men seeking career transition counseling. I have worked with people from all faiths, gender identity and sexual orientation. How I can be of service: If you looking for help: (1) building a better future, particularly in your career (2) overcoming relationship challenges, or (3) coming to terms with painful memories so you can move on, I look forward to working with you to help you meet those goals.

Hello my name is Jahmela Williams, LCPC, I am intentional about serving the needs of people/persons of color and intersectionality communities. I commend you for taking the first step to experiencing a transformational life. With over 15 years of experience in providing education and counseling services, my focus is on helping individuals successfully navigate through barriers that limit holistic well-being. One of the reasons for my success is the gift for forming positive, lasting connections with individuals. In all my years of service, I have never grown tired of empowering individuals to better know self, value, and live purpose. My counseling techniques are a strength-based approach infused with Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, and Mindfulness theoretical frameworks. I believe life experiences carry emotional memories that influence thoughts about ourselves, our value, and our purpose, which in turn effect the choices and actions we take in life. I do not consider myself the expert but a facilitator that helps guide you along this process of discovery and awareness. I approach mental health from a holistic healing perspective. This perspective is woven into the very fabric of my being as a black woman. As a woman of color, I am intentional about providing a safe space for my extended community to learn tools in practicing radical self-care as a form of resistance and self-preservation. As a body of color, I am very much aware of how it feels to live in a society where I must demand “the right to matter”. Because of this, the mindset that I bring to therapeutic healing is one of radical acceptance, kindness, and non-judgment for my community and its intersectionality. It is my hope to be a therapeutic space to work on body, mind, and spirit healing, have your voice heard, and permission to breathe and “be”. It would be a privilege to accompany you on your wellness journey. I am committed to helping you realize your value and purpose and reach your healing goals.
