Hello! My name is Virginia and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts. I received my Bachelors and Masters from Salem State University in 2018 and 2020. Since starting my social work journey, I have worked in numerous settings, including daycare, schools, after-school programs, in-home therapy, therapeutic mentoring and most recently working with children and their families in outpatient therapy settings.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Connecting with others on a genuine level, without fear of judgment or bias. Providing empathy and guidance to those as we work on trying to determine the route cause of your current challenges. Empowering clients and building upon their confidence and self-esteem.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment that is used to assist individuals in changing their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I will work with the client on challenging their negative thinking patterns and work on re-framing them together.
