12 years offering treatment
Hello, I am a mental health therapist with 12 years of experience, including 7 years as a clinical supervisor. For the past 3 years I have worked on Betterhelp part time while also working a full-time therapy/supervision position. I keep a small caseload on here as this is my part-time job. I have particularly focused on working with those who have Depression and Bipolar Disorder, PTSD/trauma, anxiety disorders, substance use challenges, and ADHD. I have a Masters Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a supervision endorsement, and I am a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor. I work with some clients who are participating in therapy for the first time, and I work with others who have worked with several therapists and are looking for a different approach. Treatment needs to be individualized. My job is not to give advice or to solve problems for you, but rather to support you in confronting challenges. We should work together in a way that is most comfortable and beneficial for you. You can message only, participate in live chat sessions, participate in phone sessions, and/or participate in video sessions. Or you can change from session to session, it's totally up to you. I have several spots open for live sessions each week (generally on weekday evenings and on weekend mornings), so you'll be able to schedule a session (if you choose to do so) for within a couple days of starting. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Please understand that if you are experiencing thoughts of hurting yourself or others, this platform is not appropriate, and you should instead call 911. If you frequently find yourself in crisis situations or if you have had a suicide attempt or a suicide plan within the last six months, or if you experience command hallucinations (voices that tell you to do something), I would not be appropriate to work with, and you are encouraged instead to meet with a therapist in person. I cannot provide emergency help. Also, if you must cancel a session, I ask that you give at least 24 hours notice so that someone else can claim that timeslot. If you repeatedly do not cancel within 24 hours or no-show, please understand that I may terminate our relationship without warning. Nick DeFazio

I am a licensed independent social worker (LISW-S) in the state of Ohio with over 20 years of experience. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I have worked with teenage, young adult and older adult clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, toxic stress, self-esteem, relationship issues, life adjustments, grief issues, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced domestic violence and emotional abuse. When working with BIPOC clients and those in the LGBTQ+ community, it is important to remember how historical trauma and current social justice issues can impact mental health. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I see my role is to help you to determine what is best for you and not to tell you what you should be doing. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, short-term solution focused, client centered and motivational interviewing. We will create a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
