My name is Lula Roberts and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Carrollton, Georgia and working with clients via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults specializing in anxiety, stress, and depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to chart a path forward.

Hey there! If you've been told you're “too sensitive,” or feel like your emotions have the aux cord and refuse to give it back, then know you’re not alone and you're in the right place! Maybe you handle stress by rage-texting the group chat or expertly pretending problems don’t exist (1010 method, truly). If this sounds familiar, hi, you’re not alone. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with me is real talk, practical skills, and a little humor. We’ll untangle the chaos together so you can feel more like yourself without pretending life isn’t messy sometimes. My clients have called me “affirming, playful, authentic, and a little playful.” Basically a hype person but with a game plan. I’m big on compassion and practicality, so you’ll get validation and actual skills. Think: acceptance plus change equals building a life you actually want to show up for. If you've done therapy before and finished it still missing a piece, then I'd be more than happy to help you find it. I believe that life can be joyful even after experiencing challenges. It's all about finding the balance between accepting (not approving) things we can't change, while skillfully doing something about the things that we can.

Hi there! My name is Kashana Gaines, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am truly passionate about providing supportive psychotherapy to assist my clients in some of their most difficult and vulnerable life challenges. I truly approach therapy as, meeting clients where they are, meaning engaging the client where they are versus telling them where to be. My treatment approach may be a combination of cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, and rational emotive counseling. I tailor my counseling style to each individual's unique situation. I am a very interactive, and kind person with a non-judgmental attitude. In my years of experience as a therapist, I have worked with clients experiencing issues such as relationship issues, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, abandonment issues, family issues, anger management, PTSD, suicidal ideation, self-harm, social anxiety, work related stress, and behavioral issues.Throughout my years of providing clinical counseling, I have the most experience working with clients who are experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am most comfortable with treating these conditions, but as listed above, I also have experience with other conditions, and feel comfortable treating clients with those issues as well." In order to have a successful therapeutic relationship with my clients, I utilize effective communication skills such as active, reflective listening, empathy, and the ability to convey information and provide feedback. My clients usually feel very comfortable working with me. I have been told that I am very helpful, non-judgmental, and a great listener. I have always received great satisfaction from knowing that I have positively impacted someone's life or have been the person that have helped them to get to the place they want to be. From a young child until now, I have always helped others in some type of capacity. I love seeing others succeed in life, and just being overall happy. It takes a special kind of person to listen and with no judgement. I know that being a therapist is my calling. The goal setting process is determined and approached as the relevant background information has been obtained. The background information, which includes discussing current symptomsstressors is usually discussed during the first session. I do realize that every client has their own unique situation, and things may not go in a certain order; however it's very imperative to develop treatment goals as it establishes a clearly defined and thought out direction each client need to make. The first therapy session is a great opportunity to start rapport building; getting to know each other, and exploring what you would like to gain from this process. I would like to talk about things that have been successes for you and different approaches that you may have used in the past. I will engage you in completing a psychosocial assessment; a tool used to gain relevant background information, and current symptomsstressors. I will walk you through this process, as I am very aware that there may be some feelings of uneasiness in the beginning as we are getting to know each other.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I'm currently licensed in the State of Georgia (Lic. PSY004432) and as a Telehealth Psychologist in the State of Florida (TPPY2137). I offer services to English and Spanish speakers. I have extensive experience providing individual and group therapy to adults (18+). I also have experience and training in multiple approaches to treating negative, traumatic, stressful, and challenging experiences. I mainly provide support with an integrative approach by tailoring interventions to each participant's needs. Some of the treatment approaches that I also practice include, but are not limited to ACT, CBT, Humanistic, Person-Centered, Narrative, Behavioral Modification, Solution Focus, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma focus. My main focus is to work with folks who have experienced trauma andor PTSD, dissociative disorders, and related disorders. On the other hand, I have worked with plenty of people with other life stressors and situations like dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, and others. I feel comfortable working with anyone, since I believe anybody could benefit from learning more about themselves in order to become the best versions of themselves. However, in order to do that, that person has to be willing, committed, and interested in starting the healing process. If they are not ready, then it could be challenging for them to let go of habits that they need to work on. I do my best to be curious and explore each participant's needs with compassionate care and active listening. During my years of training and practice, I realized that many mental health issues are rooted in past negative or traumatic experiences. The symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship issues, and others can be the tip of the iceberg. This is why I decided to specialize in working with trauma, PTSD, dissociative disorders, dual diagnoses, and other related issues. My main goal for participants is for them to overcome challenges and reach their own personal and therapeutic goals and increase their engagement in healthy coping skills. In the first session, we discuss the limits of confidentiality and gather family background information, medical history, and other related information about the current concerns that the participant has.
