More about Lester
- 3 years' experience

- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflict, and anger management. My approach is grounded in understanding each person's unique background, values, and circumstances.
As a Black, Christian therapist, I bring cultural understanding to our work, and for those who welcome it, I'm glad to incorporate a faith-based perspective — though it's never required. I welcome clients across the political spectrum, liberal and conservative alike, and I'm especially attuned to how culture, faith, and lived experience shape mental health. Before social work, I served as a Navy Corpsman, an experience that grounds my steady, calm presence in session.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I honor diverse perspectives and beliefs, creating a space where you feel genuinely heard and respected. Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Online counseling 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 counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
