Therapists in Ohio

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker based in Ohio and have been in the field since 2013. I graduated from Miami University in 2013 with my bachelor's degree in psychology and worked as a case manager for a year, assisting adults with managing mental health symptoms, i also helped with medication management, and assisted with supporting them in daily living skills, before getting my master's degree in social work in 2016. Once I graduated with my Master's, I then worked at a community based correctional facility for 3 years as a mental health and addiction specialist. I completed diagnostic assessments and facilitated individual and group therapy sessions for mental health and addiction. From there, I began working at an inpatient behavioral health hospital and assisted patients there with acute mental health needs and helped to provide referrals for outpatient treatment. Since 2020, I have been working with clients doing individual therapy and have been growing my private practice. I find it rewarding to be able to work with clients long-term and get to know them as a person while meeting each individual where they are; what their struggles are, what their successes are, see progress they make in different areas of their lives, and develop a rapport that is respectful and supportive. I have been able to gain a great deal of experience over my 13 years with a very diverse background through promotion and advancement, in the mental health field, and those experiences help me to navigate my therapeutic approach to assist with being able to better serve clients while we are working together.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.

My approach to therapy is based on my belief that every person has inherent value and is a gift to the world. Throughout our lives we encounter experiences and relationships that can fracture our sense of self and disconnect us from what we need. I believe therapy is a way to help you get back into harmony with yourself – to learn to listen to what your mind and heart are telling you and to ground yourself in the value you were born with. This in turn allows us to build better, healthier connections with others. I would be honored to be a person helping you to do this. I have over 9 years of experience in the mental health field where I have spent my time building my skill and growing my knowledge. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2016 and have worked in a variety of settings since, including community based centers. In my 9 years I have focused on specializing in helping people work through traumas (PTSD and Complex Trauma), anxiety and grief. I am EMDR trained, which is just one of the modalities I can use to help address symptoms, especially PTSD. My experience and trainings have helped me to provide excellent care to those individuals I've worked with, and I love what I do.

Every client is unique and is facing their own distinctive challenges. Therefore each treatment plan should be personalized and individualized. An ideal client is one who comes to counseling with an open mind and is ready to try new approaches and coping skills. Each person will benefit differently from a wide variety of approaches. Together we can and will find the right strategies that work best for you. There is not a "normal" or "standard" cookie-cutter path. It is a journey!

I'm a social worker with 49 years of experience with children, adolescents, families, couples and adults. I find that people get the best results when we look at their lives as a whole -- physical, emotional, intellectual, what many people call spiritual (your most deeply held beliefs and values), and socially, as a member of your community. I have training and experience in a variety of treatments which are evidence-based. I can also do dreamwork and art therapy if this is something that is appealing to you, but I have to say up front that these, while very well known, do not have the same degree of corroboration as evidence-based practices. I have worked since the late 70s with survivors of trauma: physical abuse, neglect, sexual assault, and combat trauma. It has been one of the great honors of my life to have received the trust of so many who have endured trauma, and to have been a part of their healing.

Welcome, I’m Elaine a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), based in North Carolina, I’m also licensed to practice in Ohio. Counseling should be a conversation in a private, peaceful setting where you can explore issues that are impacting your life. In a private, peaceful, therapeutic environment I will listen to you without judgment, provide support, insight and feedback to help you address current or long standing issues that are impacting your life and possibly interfering with your emotional well-being. I have over 20 years experience working with individual and families to address mood instability, depression, anxiety, personal trauma, grief/loss, interpersonal problems, chronic illness and substance abuse. I specialize in working with adults from a holistic perspective providing individual counseling using diverse therapeutic modalities. I believe that therapy works best when there is a commitment to attend regular scheduled therapy session. I believe that individuals are resilient and have the capacity to heal from within. I believe in creating pathways for positive change. I believe “ life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learn to dance in the rain”.

I’m not your typical therapist—and that’s by design. You won’t catch me in a blazer with a clipboard asking, “And how does that make you feel?” Instead, I show up in jeans and a t-shirt, ready to create a space that’s authentic, safe, and deeply grounded in trust. Therapy with me feels more like a real conversation than a clinical interrogation. I specialize in walking alongside people who’ve been through massive, life-altering trauma—whether that’s the complex wounds of family conflict, the heavy burdens carried by survivors of sexual and physical abuse, or the unique pain experienced by those navigating PTSD and narcissistic abuse. I’m deeply committed to supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community who often face trauma rooted in marginalization, misunderstanding, and identity struggles. Beyond individual and relational trauma, I also work with people impacted by large-scale, collective trauma—survivors of war, violent attacks, murders, and other devastating events that shake the very foundations of safety and trust. I live with ADHD myself, so I intimately understand what it’s like to feel scattered, overstimulated, or to have a brain that just works a little differently. That personal insight informs how I show up in our work together—whether you’re neurodivergent or simply need a therapist who truly “gets it,” you’re in the right place. Trauma healing isn’t about ticking boxes or applying textbook techniques—it requires presence, patience, and a real human connection. My style is relaxed, honest, and deeply supportive. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure, and together we’ll work toward reclaiming your wholeness. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical or cold. It can be raw, real, and deeply human. That’s what I bring—and that’s what you deserve.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a Master of Social Work degree in 1992.

I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years and 10 years as a therapist. During the past 20 years, I have experience in different settings and populations.

I typically work with ages 13 through adulthood on an individual basis.

A little about me, I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working in the behavioral health care field. I received my B.A. in Psychology and Masters of Social Work from The University of Akron. I believe in a strength based and client centered approach, where your needs and goals are at the forefront of our work together. Recognizing that there is not a one-size fits all approach to wellness, I use an eclectic therapeutic technique, tailoring therapy to the individual.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 40+ years of experience in providing mental health treatment and evaluations. I pursued an academic track early in my career with faculty appointments in the medical schools of Hahnemann, Brown, and Case Western Reserve Universities. I have been published in professional psychology and medical journals, and presented both nationally and internationally. I have now pursued private practice for 25+ years primarily as an outpatient psychologist and individual psychotherapist. I work with adults ages 18 and older, including seniors. I have engaged effectively with diverse populations experiencing a wide array of difficulties. My special interests are in treating Mood Disorders (Depression and Bipolar Disorder), Anxiety and Stress-Related Disorders, Men's Issues, and Chronic Pain.
