As a licensed therapist in South Carolina with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice focuses on addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction, with a compassionate approach to healing. I have extensive expertise in working with young adults, caregivers, women's issues, and older adults experiencing life transitions.
My therapeutic approach centers on understanding each person's unique journey, helping clients navigate communication challenges, family dynamics, and personal growth. I bring deep empathy and professional insight to support individuals dealing with posttraumatic stress, codependency, and substance use challenges.
I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and move towards meaningful personal transformation. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you work through life's most challenging moments.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

My go to when I need to recalibrate!
I have been meeting with Loretta for a few years now and she has been very helpful and understanding.
Loretta was the person I needed! She listens and responds with helpful words and actions. She made me feel comfortable from day 1… she will be my go to whenever the need arises. I appreciate the person she is. Thank you Loretta!
She’s like talking to my best friend’s mom. I was considering quitting therapy before coming to her as I just could never get the words out that I wanted to and left sessions feeling exhausted. Now, Loretta knows exactly how to ask questions that get me talking naturally and helps me come to my own resolutions without losing all energy. I genuinely enjoy therapy now because of her.
Loretta is an understanding counselor and is very easy to talk to.
Loretta is so insightful! I have had so many aha moments while talking with her. She is very calm and patient. I am so glad to have found her !
Loretta has been absolutely amazing. Sometimes she's just listening and affirming my feelings and other times she's asking questions and making me look into myself in ways I hadn't thought of. I always leave our sessions feeling better.
Loretta creates a welcoming and non-judgemental safe space.
I feel that Loretta really listens and helps me work through things.
Awesome counselor!
