I have been practicing therapy for several years (licensed for almost 2) and the more I do it the more I enjoy it. I enjoy hearing people's stories and watching them change and progress in many different ways. I like to ask questions, but am not afraid to challenge something or make a joke at times. I have worked in the drug and alcohol field for several years and in that field I encountered many different mental health conditions.

Tam Cao

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Hello my name is Tam and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, stability, and personal growth. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

My clinical approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and develop practical tools for coping and change. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel comfortable being open and authentic.

I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and complex social stressors. My background in social work allows me to view each person holistically, considering emotional, psychological, social, and environmental factors that impact well-being.

Above all, I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them at their own pace. My goal is to empower clients to build insight, resilience, and confidence as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Jason Herwick

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Since 2013, I’ve helped clients overcome social anxiety, gaming addiction, and substance abuse—while also developing emotional intelligence and building healthier relationships. I understand firsthand how internet culture, modern relationships, and existential doubt shape our struggles. My approach is direct but empathetic, balancing honesty with actionable solutions to help you take control of your life.

If you're stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling, blackpilling, or social withdrawal, I can help you break free. We’ll work on improving emotional communication, navigating online and offline relationships, and developing a stronger sense of self. Therapy with me is engaging, sometimes humorous, but always focused on real growth. I minimize worksheets and prioritize evidenced-based solutions. I utilize ACT, REBT and CBT to help you identify issues and create lasting change. I also draw from my academic background in existential philosophy and critical theory. I'm a genuine, goofy but direct person, I like having real conversations and I offer free consultations.
