More about Pamela
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with over 30 years of experience in the social services field and 10 years of clinical practice. I work with individuals experiencing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting issues, career transitions, OCD, and ADHD. I also have extensive experience supporting clients who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and interactive. I believe in treating every client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not approach therapy through a lens of stigmatizing labels. My work integrates motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic approaches, and solution-focused therapy. I tailor each treatment plan to align with your individual goals, strengths, and unique circumstances.
Seeking support takes courage. Choosing to pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life is a meaningful first step. If you are ready to move forward, I am here to provide guidance, support, and empowerment throughout that process.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
