Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) providing telehealth across Ohio, I offer a warm, collaborative, and practical space for adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, and major life transitions. Drawing on evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and ACT—along with a touch of humor and authenticity—I focus on honoring the strengths you already possess while helping you build effective tools for growth. In our work together, you can expect an empowering environment where you feel truly heard and supported. Christian faith integration is available upon request.

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


I'm Kassandra, a Licensed Independent Social Worker trained at Case Western Reserve

University. My clinical foundation was built doing crisis intervention and specialized

trauma work with survivors of sexual assault, child abuse, and sex trafficking before

I became independently licensed. That experience isn't a line on a resume. It's the reason

I can sit with the hardest things clients bring in without needing them to minimize,

manage, or explain themselves first. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults

individually and with couples. I'm explicitly LGBTQIA+-affirming and have experience

with transgender and identity-related concerns. I offer telehealth across Ohio and accept

insurance through Headway.

Hi, I am Joe, a licensed mental health therapist. I believe that people are capable of change, which is why I do what I do. It's understandable if you come to therapy feeling low and unmotivated. This is normal. Your first step in coming here is a big deal and not an easy decision or task. That right there is motivation. I believe in a collaborative approach and meeting you where you are in your life. I am not an expert on you, but we can work together to understand what is getting in the way of your goals and make plans to address these areas. I am here to help you figure out what needs to change and to guide you through the process of improving your mental health and growing as a person. I am a caring, open, and non-judgmental person, who loves cats, music, reading, and video games. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially around a bon fire.

Psychiatrist

Michael Bell's journey to psychiatry was a vast and aw-inspiring as the Florida skies of his youth, where he watched space shuttles carve paths to the stars. Initially set on a course toward surgey, a path forged by his experiences as a U.S. Army medic, a chance encounter with a poem by Emily Dickson - "The Brain" - is wider than the sky" - ignited a new passion, but within the intricate, infinite universe of the human mind. This became his new frontier.
