2021, and the task of therapy is understanding the "mood" behind the mask that we all must wear. Isolated from friends, we struggle to work and manage family responsibilities within the walls of our home without the balance we would receive from our workplace, our gym, our clubs, or our church. Therapy is now online...but this format comes easily over a safe format allowing a relaxing and professional conversation in my online therapy office. You will be heard, and come away with strategies for managing your moods and recognizing possibilities in your current situation. You are not alone! Sign up for therapy help now!

Therapy doesn’t have to be boring! We all can use a little laughter. Over the last 17 years, I’ve worked to help normalize the therapy process with a unique and individual approach. I use an eclectic array of modalities to meet client needs. I'm currently only meeting with clients virtually.

My ideal client is a person who is ready and willing to do their work. They understand that challenges may arise, and the process may be uncomfortable. They are willing to help build a therapeutic relationship, embrace the process to create meaningful progress. This client may have issues relating to self-esteem, trauma, and coping skills. This client needs a non-judgmental space to share and receive understanding and empathy. The goal is to improve self-esteem, process, and heal from the trauma, and apply healthy coping skills.

Currently accepting new clients. Many people come to me because they feel stuck in old cycles in their relationships, in their work, or in their own mind. They want to get out of them, but they're not sure how. Many people I work with have been in therapy before and learned cognitive or mindfulness skills that, while helpful, don't seem to go quite deep enough. Often they feel frustrated because they don't know why they keep repeating the same behaviors or feeling the same way despite all of their best efforts.
Abby Claeys
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC

As a foundation of my clinical work, I believe we are purposeful and intentional beings. We do things because they work (or did work) for us in some way. When these behaviors are no longer working we experience discomfort and stress within ourselves and in our relationships. Often this distress manifests itself in symptoms such as anxiety and depression, or physical health concerns such as headaches, gastrointestinal problems, or pain. Because of this, I acknowledge the importance of addressing each client in a holistic way, honoring the connection between our mind and body.
Ronald Laney
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC

We live in a culture that sometimes stigmatizes our decisions to seek counseling — it’s as if our drive to reduce our suffering is, somehow, a sign of weakness. May I suggest that the exact opposite is true? Not only is it heroic to stop distracting and running away from ourselves, but a genuine act of love and self-respect. May our work together be a framework from which all concerned, myself included, emerge as kinder and more authentic sentient beings.

Something’s not right, and maybe hasn’t been for a while, but you know it’s time for some changes. If you (or you and your partner) need help making those positive changes, I’d be honored to work with you. I take a flexible approach to counseling, bringing thoughtfulness and creativity to the process to meet you where you are. So I feel comfortable with a wide range of issues, but here are areas I help with most often: anxiety & stress, depression, couples counseling (Gottman Method), career counseling & life design, substance use & addiction, men's issues, life transitions, anger, mindfulness, and grief.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MEd

The world becomes a better place when we humans learn we are amazing; just for being human. Some, especially Black and Brown humans, suffer from living in cultures and systems that dehumanize them, keeping them from this realization. Therapy is one tool we can use to heal these wounds and create better communities. I believe that Black and Brown people need and deserve representation and validation of their experiences. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own story, the captain of their own ship.

YES, I am accepting patients, including for nights & weekends. My patients are often high-achieving women, who are struggling in substantial life areas such as work or relationships OR men who may be new to therapy or looking for a different perspective. I specialize in anxiety, relational problems, codependency, and complex trauma. Workplace injustices, infidelity, parenting struggles, partner disillusionment, or existential exhaustion can be too much to navigate alone. Let me help. My approach is one of genuineness and, when appropriate, humor to encourage my clients to feel as comfortable with me as they would a lifelong friend.
