Karen Ann Schmid
Hi. I’m a clinical social worker, licensed in Virginia and Maryland. I also hold a license as a substance abuse treatment practitioner in Virginia. I received my Masters degree from Catholic University School of Social Work and I’ve been practicing for over 30 years. I work with people struggling with a variety of problems, including anxiety, depression, and trauma issues. I primarily work with individuals from young adulthood to early seventies.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I offer a complementary 15-minute consultation either by phone or telehealth before scheduling a first full appointment. In this consultation, we will talk briefly about what brings you to therapy and you will have the opportunity to ask me questions about my practice. This allows us to determine whether my approach to therapy will suit your needs. In the first full session, we will go into more detail about the challenges you are facing. I will collect information that will help me to develop a treatment plan that will guide the next sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have over thirty years of therapy and counseling experience in both mental health and addiction treatment. I have worked in a variety of settings, including private practice, and both outpatient and residential mental health and addictions treatment settings. My many years in practice give me the experience to assist people from a variety of backgrounds and with varied challenges.
