I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.

Orlesa Poole

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I help individuals and couples who feel overloaded, anxious, or stuck. Life can be exhausting when stress, anxiety and relationship problems start piling up. You might be doing everything you can to keep going, but still feeling tense, misunderstood and worn down. When things feel heavy for too long, it can impact your sleep, your confidence, and your ability to show up the way you want to.

I offer a calm, steady space where you can talk openly without judgment. My work is focused on helping you understand what you’re feeling, why it’s happening, and how to get relief. You’ll get support that feels real, straightforward, and grounded.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Baltimore

Searching for couples therapists in Baltimore starts with clarifying what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not every therapist has specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples modalities such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what kinds of relationship concerns they commonly support.

Baltimore has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Canton, Hampden, Federal Hill, and Mount Vernon, and that range can make it harder to narrow the search. For couples counseling in Baltimore, the right fit needs to work for both partners’ schedules, commute preferences, and appointment format. Some couples prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual sessions to make scheduling easier from separate locations. As you compare therapists, look for appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to assess fit for couples specifically.

Couples therapy in Baltimore can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find Baltimore couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling options that match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway before booking. You can review therapist bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
