Loretta Buckwalter

Loretta Buckwalter

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


I'm Loretta — an LISW-S with more than a decade of experience sitting with people who are carrying real weight. Before clinical practice, I worked in juvenile justice with youth and families, which gave me a grounded, no-judgment understanding of how systems, stress, and circumstance shape the way people show up in their own lives. That perspective follows me into every session. I work with women, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating some of life's harder chapters — anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, family strain, relationship challenges, and transitions that weren't planned for. I offer Telehealth sessions across Ohio, which means no commute, no waiting room — just focused, private time built around your schedule.

Hiya! Thank you so much for taking the time to patiently sift through many profiles to find me. Now that you're here, I will give you my best elevator speech. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and substance use - all the messy, complicated parts. Over 17 years, I’ve done everything from case management to clinical supervision at a community mental health agency and crisis intervention at a managed care company. As a biracial person (Filipina and Polish), I bring personal understanding to those navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and the feeling of not quite fitting in anywhere.
