More about Carmela

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPCC

With over a decade of experience in the field, I have been working in substance use disorder treatment since 2012 and in mental health care since 2022. I am a licensed clinician in Ohio with 16 years of professional experience supporting individuals through addiction, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, motivation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and building confidence.

I believe you are the expert of your own story, and that you already hold strengths that can help you navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing and change. My role is to support you in recognizing, strengthening, and building upon those strengths at a pace that feels right for you.

Taking the first step toward therapy takes real courage. I’m glad you’re here, and I look forward to walking alongside you in your journey.

About online counselling

Counselling without referrals.
No doctor referral required.
Convenient.
Virtual counselling sessions are a flexible alternative to in-person therapy.
Available now.
Counselling in as little as 48 hours. No waiting list and no calls to make.

Online counselling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counselling is generally more affordable than in-person counselling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counselling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
