Hi there, I am Albert. Do you feel that specific life events have had a great impact on how you are managing and functioning daily? I am a clinician who believes that the past influences the present and future and if trauma has been a part of the human experience the impact on human functioning is even greater. It is my goal to create a safe and caring counseling atmosphere and setting so that the individual feels safe to explore the effect of trauma or any life event(s) that have impacted their life. Clients are encouraged to explore and engage in new aspects of themselves; finding new abilities which increase their positive daily functioning by increasing their living tool kit with new creative and important tools. I utilize evidence-based modalities to address the unique and specific needs of each client and I do so from a trauma-informed perspective. I provide long-term psychotherapy; I also work with clients doing short-term solution-focused therapy that is goal-specific. I completed my master's in counseling in 2005 from New Jersey City University. From 2005 to 2010 I was an associate counselor and upon completion of my supervision hours became a Licensed Practicing Counselor in 2010. I have had experience working in hospitals, outpatient clinics, community outreach and providing in-home therapy services for individuals and families. I have worked treating depression, anxiety, behavior problems, ADHD and issues related to gender identity as well as issues facing couples.

I chose the helping profession because I’ve always had a deep sensitivity to people’s emotions and a strong appreciation for how meaningful it is when someone feels truly understood. From early on, I found myself attuned to what people were feeling beneath the surface, and I’ve always valued creating space where those feelings can be acknowledged without judgment. I also understand how heavy it can feel to carry anxiety, stress, or life transitions alone, especially when it seems like there is nowhere to fully put it down. This perspective is what continues to guide my work and my presence with clients. My role is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing. I aim to help you feel less alone in what you are carrying, and more grounded as you sort through it. I believe that healing happens in a relationship, through steady and compassionate support over time. My goal is for you to feel gently supported as you move toward greater clarity, steadiness, and a more grounded sense of yourself.

I consider myself open-minded, compassionate, and deeply empathetic. My mantra is simple: I am here for you. My role is to walk alongside you, provide tools and support, and help you manage both daily stressors and long-standing challenges. Life can feel like a roller coaster—full of unexpected changes, emotions, and pressures—but with the right support, it’s possible to find balance, peace, and overall well-being.

I’m a counseling psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping people navigate life’s transitions, challenges, and emotional struggles. I’ve been licensed in New Jersey since 2002 and Tennessee since 2006 and hold PSYPACT credentials, allowing me to provide telepsychology services across most U.S. states. My clinical background spans corrections, hospitals, forensic settings, and outpatient psychotherapy—giving me a broad and practical perspective on human resilience. In our work together, you can expect a calm, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and gently challenged. I don’t offer quick fixes—but I do help clients build insight and lasting skills through collaborative, guided conversations.

Hello, I’m Cherokee Cabell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful changes. I work with adults ages 18 and older who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly, gain a better understanding of yourself, develop practical coping skills, and work toward becoming the best version of yourself. I am the founder of Little Bits Counseling and Therapy and provide telehealth services to clients in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University–Camden and am also a Certified Clinical Supervisor. In addition to providing therapy, I support the development of future professionals through clinical supervision, nursing preceptorship, and mentorship. I am also the published author of *Rain to Reign* and its companion workbook, which focus on breaking cycles, reclaiming your voice, healing from difficult experiences, and finding empowerment through adversity. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncomfortable, but you do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start with where you are and work together toward where you want to be. PLEASE NOTE: Please schedule your first appointment at least 48 hours in advance to allow time to complete and return the required intake forms. This gives me an opportunity to review your information before we meet so that we can make the most of our first session.

My name is Joanna Smith. I have had the honor and privilege to have worked with clients for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, a chronic illness, or a season of life that feels overwhelming, you do not have to figure it out alone. For more than 20 years, I have helped people move from feeling stuck to functioning at their best. In our work together, we will take a collaborative and practical approach. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to help you challenge unhelpful thoughts, set meaningful goals, and take real steps toward feeling better. I especially enjoy working with people who are motivated for change and open to challenging the beliefs and patterns that are holding them back. My goal is for you to leave each session with something concrete you can use Most of my work has been in the health care setting where I worked supporting people who faced chronic illness. I have also worked with families in a family health clinic. Additionally, I have provided and coordinated mental health treatment in a primary care setting providing problem solving treatment to improve patients’ symptoms and level of functioning. I have also provided support to employees in corporate settings in my role as employee assistance program consultant.
