About
As a counselor and as someone who has faced challenges myself, I meet each client with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a genuine belief in their ability to grow.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience, I provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can uncover strengths, process emotions, and explore new possibilities. Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving us unsure or weighed down, and I understand how challenging these moments can be. My goal is to help clients find steadiness, confidence, and balance while walking alongside them with empathy and support as they navigate life’s personal and professional challenges.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and evidence-based practices. I am also committed to providing culturally responsive care tailored to each client’s needs.
Together, we will focus on shifting patterns that no longer serve you, fostering confidence, clarity, and growth. Whether facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I provide a supportive space to help you move forward. My goal is to empower you toward healing, resilience, and a life that feels balanced and meaningful.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Mark: Much like in in-person therapy, my approach to online therapy depends on the needs of the individual client. A benefit I see in online therapy is the increased flexibility and level of access. As therapy can be an intimidating process for some clients, online therapy allows them to meet with a therapist in the comfort of their own home, thus eliminating a potential barrier to treatment.
Andrew: I primarily use acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients meet their treatment goals during online therapy. I particularly enjoy acceptance and commitment therapy as it supports clients in reducing the resistance and avoidance they have to uncomfortable thoughts of feelings and increases the frequency of values-based action, bringing more fulfillment and a higher quality of life.
Mark: Some of the coping skills that I introduce in online therapy include cognitive behavior skills such as thought restructuring and thought stopping, self-soothing skills such as deep breathing and mindfulness, and other skills depending on an individual client's particular needs.
Andrew: I provide coaching on a variety of tools during therapy, including some of the following:
Mark: I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they draw toward completing objectives set at the beginning of treatment.
Andrew: A client demonstrates progress in therapy through a decrease in avoidance of uncomfortable thoughts or feelings and an increase in the frequency of engaging in values-based action. They also demonstrate comfort and confidence in using the skills coached in therapy without the need for therapy sessions.
Mark: To supplement online therapy, I encouraged clients to engage in other wellness activities such as fitness, social connections, and hobbies/interests.
Andrew: I shared with clients that the goal of therapy is not to get good at going to therapy. I encourage clients to practice the skills coached in therapy outside of the session to increase the likelihood these skills are able to be used when needed. I also encourage clients to build a social support network they feel comfortable getting emotional support from, engage in hobbies and interests outside of work/school, and engage in healthy physical habits.
Mark: To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can complete the consent for service and review your insurance coverage to prepare for possible patient responsibility fees.
Andrew: The most important way a client can prepare for starting online is to bring a mindset that is honest about themselves and their situation, open to new perspectives and feedback, and willing to take suggestions and try new things. Particularly with online therapy, it is important that we have a space where we feel comfortable to be able to talk freely, and have minimal distractions.
With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
