More about Vilma
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing behavioral health treatment services across medical, inpatient, outpatient, and insurance-based settings.
My therapy style is collaborative, compassionate, and structured, grounded in evidence-based practices while remaining responsive to each client’s unique cultural, emotional, and life context. My approach to therapy is strengths-based, client-centered perspective, helping individuals build insight, resilience, and practical coping skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment.
Clients often describe my style as warm, supportive, and direct. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space while also helping clients set realistic goals and move toward meaningful change.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counselling, 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.
