EAP:Cigna Therapists in Ohio

Hi, I'm Jen, a Licensed Independent Social Worker and much of my career has been spent supporting individuals and families through some of life's most difficult moments. My professional experience spans outpatient and inpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, emergency medicine, and child welfare. These experiences have shaped the clinician I am today. They have taught me that people are far more than the hardest thing that has ever happened to them; and that healing rarely follows a straight line. The Person Behind the Therapist: I am LatinX and the daughter of a first-generation immigrant. My culture, family, and experiences have shaped how I see the world and understand the importance of connection, community, and belonging. As a social worker, I also believe that mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. Our relationships, culture, identity, communities, access to resources, and experiences with larger systems can all affect our well-being. I am passionate about racial, social, and economic justice, and I bring that social-work lens into my practice. I am also proud to be an LGBTQIA+ ally and am committed to creating an affirming environment where people can feel respected and safe being themselves. You don't have to leave parts of yourself at the door when you come to therapy. What I Want You to Know: You don't need the right words. You don't have to know exactly where to begin. My role isn't to tell you who you should be or what your life should look like. My role is to listen, help you make sense of what you're experiencing, and walk alongside you as you work toward where you want to go. You simply have to take the first step. From there, we can begin together.

I’m a licensed professional clinical counselor who started her degree at the University of South Florida. I’ve worked from treatment assistant to supervisor. I have worked with those suffering with substance use disorders, trauma and panic disorders and even parents of children with special needs. My goal is to help people learn real time tools to help manage intense emotions and overcome pervasive patterns that prevent healthy relationships. Since I have worked in the social services for over 20 years, I have a wealth of knowledge. Asking for help is a first step toward a better understanding and improved functioning.

I have been in the field for 20 years now, in different capacities. I have worked 8n addictions, mental health and developmental disabilities. I work with kids, teenager adults and senior citizens. I have worked with military and with first responders. When you are working with me, your the one who makes the choices such as different types of counseling, and what we talk about on that particular day. I am always learning and growing my skills. I also have a faith based background so we can or do not have to incorporate that into our sessions.

I am a clinical social worker with a master’s degree from Case Western Reserve University. I am licensed in both Arizona and Ohio. I have extensive experience in treating individuals facing adjustment challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, psychosis, obsessive compulsive disorder, and substance use disorders. With 12 years past military experience, I can relate to the challenges faced by vets. I am currently excepting new clients virtually in both Arizona and Ohio. I work with clients ages 14+. I work with individuals, couples, families, and the LGBTQ+ community. I utilize a range of evidence-based treatment modalities, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Faith-Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) while also trusting the wisdom built on connection I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and deep respect for lived experience. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a space where your story matters and your emotions are welcome. I look forward to helping you exceed your goals!

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a deep passion for supporting individuals and families as they navigate daily experiences and life’s challenges. For more than 17 years, I have worked with adolescents, parents, and families in both individual and family sessions, focusing on substance use, mental health, and the many adversities that arise across the lifespan. I also have a strong commitment to supporting families who are caring for loved ones with dementia‑related conditions. Having personally walked through this journey, I bring a first‑hand understanding of the emotional, practical, and relational obstacles that accompany this disease. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can share their innermost feelings and be heard without judgment. I strive to help each person feel supported, understood, and empowered as they move toward healing and growth. In my free time, I love spending time with my family — both the two‑legged and four‑legged members. I’ve been rescuing and advocating for animals since childhood, a passion passed down from my parents. When I’m not with loved ones, you can usually find me enjoying a good jigsaw puzzle, getting lost in a book, or indulging in a little retail therapy.

I'm well-versed in a variety of disciplines due to what life has demanded of me for my own recovery and wellness. I have spent time as a personal trainer, mentor, musician, and professional counselor. Having both personally and professionally navigated the domains of physical, mental, and spiritual health, I'm of firm belief that a good clinician will address every aspect of person, and not reduce them to a collection of symptoms or confine them to a label. It's my conviction that you can't teach what you don't know, so I've taken great care to prove to myself that my clinical expertise and training is validated by the road I've walked before I entered the field. I have a MA in Clinical Counseling from Ashland University, a BA in Theology from Malone University, PT certification from NASM, 12+ years sober, and 3+ years of professional counseling experience.

Hello, and thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Dwayne Cornett and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. If you’re considering therapy, you may be wondering what to expect and whether you’ll feel comfortable opening up to someone new. I want you to know that my goal is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and take the time to understand your story. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we’ll work together to understand what you’re facing, build on your strengths, and find practical ways to help you move forward. Most importantly, I want you to feel that you have a safe place to be honest, be yourself, and be heard.

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio, dedicated to helping children, teens, and young adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion and care. I specialize in supporting kids and adolescents (ages 8+) who have experienced trauma, as well as individuals of all ages who struggle with managing emotions or feel overwhelmed by life’s demands. While these areas are my focus, I welcome working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and needs.

You may be someone who looks like you have it together from the outside, but inside you’re tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or wondering why the things that used to work for you just aren’t working anymore. Maybe you’re the person everyone else depends on, and you’re not quite sure where you get to put your own stuff. I work especially well with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, major life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply trying to understand themselves better. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have already done a lot of reflecting but want help turning that insight into something that actually changes how life feels. I also work with a number of fellow therapists and helping professionals. At any given time, roughly 10% of my caseload is made up of clinicians who need a place where they do not have to be the therapist, supervisor, helper, or expert. They get to simply be the client. Another area I care deeply about is supporting women navigating perimenopause and the changes that can come with it. When your mood, energy, sleep, concentration, or sense of self suddenly feels different, it can be hard to know what belongs in the therapy room and what needs medical attention. I can help you sort through what you are experiencing, prepare for conversations with healthcare providers, and feel more confident advocating for your own health. You don’t need to come to therapy with the right words or a perfectly defined goal. We can start with what’s happening now and figure it out together. Note: I provide all services in a virtual setting.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and supervisor who believes therapy should be a place where you can show up as you are. I work primarily with women navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship stress, and hormonal seasons of life. My goal is to help you feel truly known, supported, and equipped to move forward.

I am a licensed Independent Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with adults who experience anxiety, depression, and Trauma. My experience includes working with various populations, such as veterans, adults with disabilities, substance use and recovery, as well as women's issues. I also have a passion for working in the field of gerontology. I have a strong focus on holistic healing, nature, and how we can utilize various treatment modalities for a more balanced and healthier version of self. It can be overwhelming and scary navigating life at times; we can walk through that together.

Hi, I’m Jessica Vargas LCSW, LISW and I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment. Life can become overwhelming, whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, stress, major life changes, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. I work collaboratively with each client to understand what is happening beneath the surface while developing realistic tools and strategies that can create meaningful change. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Your experiences, goals, and strengths are unique, and our work together should reflect that. I work with teens, adults, and couples who may be struggling with emotional challenges, relationship concerns, communication, self-esteem, life transitions, family conflict, stress, or other challenges that are making it difficult to feel like themselves. For couples, I provide a supportive space to improve communication, understand patterns within the relationship, and work toward a healthier connection. As a therapist, I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself—even when things feel messy or difficult. My goal isn’t simply to help you get through a challenging moment, but to help you better understand yourself, build confidence in your ability to cope, and develop skills that continue to serve you beyond therapy. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. If you’re ready to make a change, I’m here to help you take that first step.

I graduated with my Masters in Social Work and Trauma Certificate from Simmons University in 2022. I previously worked as a crisis counselor providing care to both adults as well as children and families. During this time I saw a small caseload of adult clients until 2024 before transitioning to working as a community based therapist providing care to youth with problematic sexual behaviors. In 2025 I started to build up my caseload of EMDR clients and transitioned to office based work. I am extremely passionate about my work with EMDR and will nerd out when given the opportunity to share it. I take a holistic approach when working with clients and try to bring in body based and ego state techniques as well. I like to help make my clients feel that we are on equal footing (because P.S. I am also human) and recognize that they are the expert in their life and know themselves best. I do my best to be as transparent as possible without crossing boundaries. It is my priority when working with clients is to support them in a way that helps them feel comfortable and safe to explore themselves and achieve their goals.

Hello! I’m Shaunté Rogers, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important parts of counseling. Finding the right fit matters, and I understand how difficult it can be to open up when the connection does not feel safe, supportive, or genuine. My goal is to create a space that feels warm, receptive, and nonjudgmental—where you feel heard, accepted, and free to explore your own journey at your own pace.

Many people turn to psychotherapy or counseling for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and painful relationship patterns, or simply because they feel something is missing from life. At times, we may lack the words to describe our struggles or suffering. By gaining insight into past relationships and experiences, many people begin to make progress toward overcoming these difficulties, becoming more effective in both their work and their personal lives. I am a licensed clinician with 20 years of experience helping individuals achieve a more fulfilling life.

Hi, I’m Patti, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. I believe healing happens when we have a safe space to explore our stories without judgment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in practical tools you can use right away. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you as you build confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.

I am passionate about creating a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples as they navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the impact of past experiences. My goal is to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.

Hi there, welcome in! My name is Ashlee and I have been practicing as a counselor since I graduated from Case Western Reserve University with my Masters in Social Work in 2019. My goal as a thrapist is to be present for you, to assist you in working through any concerns you may have in a calm, understanding, non-judgemental space. I currently only work with adults and focus on assisting with depression, anxiety, trauma, individual relationship concerns, personal identity struggles in addition to other areas.

My name is Amber. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in the state of Ohio. My role is to empower you on this journey of self-actualization. I bring authenticity, warmth, and a solution-oriented approach. We will be working side by side to identify your goals, values, and strengths. From there, we will process past experiences to help you move on to becoming your best self. I have been helping clients achieve their goals for the past several years. These clients range from the age of one-year-old to over fifty-years-old. About 60% of my clients are 12 and under. In working with younger children, I have had the most success using telehealth when parents are present to monitor, arrange a predictable environment, and assist with any technical issues. In working with younger children, the parents’ role is vital. I work as a team with parents and caregivers to build a healthy relationship and find the appropriate strengths-based parenting strategies for the child. Recommended parenting techniques are largely based on the Conscious Discipline model which encourages mindful parenting. With younger children, the parents’ cooperation is imperative to reach desired behavioral goals. I also draw from the approaches outlined in Working with Challenging Youth by Brent Richardson, Ed.D.

I’m Niamalika Taylor, a Licensed Independent Social Worker inspired by helping individuals recognize the strength and possibilities within themselves. I understand and value how important it is for people to feel heard, seen, and understood as we navigate this journey called life. I believe you have the right to make choices that support your happiness, peace, and the life you desire. I’m committed to helping you better understand your emotions, recognize your strengths, strengthen your voice, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and intention. What inspires me most is helping individuals recognize that meaningful change can happen step by step, thought by thought, and choice by choice. I want therapy to be more than a place to talk. I want you to leave with tools you can carry throughout life as you continue to create and recreate what happiness, peace, and being able to say “I am okay” mean to you.

I am am easy going but no bs therapist. I want you to feel comfortable enough to open up about what is troubling you but not too comfortable that you forget why you are here. Therapy with me is a lot of heavy lifting on your part and my job will be to guide and support you along that journey. I specialize in PTSD Therapy through different modalities. It is not easy work but you can most definitely do it. Let's do it together.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel scary or overwhelming, and my goal is to make that process feel as comfortable, supportive, and safe as possible. I believe that while life can be challenging, everyone deserves the opportunity to feel happy, balanced, and thriving. I am here to support you through life’s ups and downs and help you work toward becoming the healthiest and most authentic version of yourself. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 14 years of experience working in a variety of settings and with individuals across the lifespan, from birth through older adulthood. While I have a special connection with adolescents and members of the LGBTQ community, I truly enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds. I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I have experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ related concerns. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I tailor treatment to meet each client’s individual needs, recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all and that meaningful change happens through collaboration, trust, and a strong therapeutic relationship. I look forward to the opportunity to walk alongside you as you begin or continue your healing journey.

I am an African American female with a strong educational and professional foundation in both mental health and business. I earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from South University and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Cleveland State University. My combined educational background and life experience have shaped my understanding of human behavior, emotional triggers, coping mechanisms, and the importance of healthy boundaries. I am committed to helping individuals feel seen, heard, and understood while supporting them in developing practical tools for emotional and personal growth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, insight, and practical support. At Sunrise Counseling and Wellness, LLC, I provide a warm, collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or a major life transition, I tailor therapy to your unique needs using evidence-based approaches, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and EMDR-informed techniques as I continue advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor with clinical experience serving a very diverse population after working for 5 years in crisis services for a major metropolitan children's hospital. While there, I was able to gain significant experience using a wide variety of interventions from CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solution focused brief therapy, and strategic family therapy to help children, adolescents, and their family's during the aftermath of their child's mental health crisis. I look forward to translating those interventions and skills to helping my clients develop coping skills, identify maladaptive patterns of thinking and behavior, improve communication with supportive loved ones, and create realistic life goals for themselves then develop a plan to reach them. I am very open to feedback from my clients as to what would be helpful for them and how they like therapy to be structured. However, I am not conflict avoidant and I gently challenge my clients to step outside of their comfort zone because I truly believe no one would come to therapy if they weren't seeking change. I also believe that therapists are "in the business of putting ourselves out of business." I don't want my clients to need me forever so I aim to help them help themselves. In my free time, I dance (tap, ballet, and contemporary as well as just bopping around to music while I cook or clean), hike, and spend time with family or friends. I love to travel and aim to do as much of it as I can. I love learning whether it is about people, different cultures, new therapy styles, recipes, styles of dance or historical events. I also really enjoy cleaning and organizing for myself or helping others with those tasks.

My goal is to help clients identify patterns that keep them stuck, strengthen boundaries and build practical coping strategies that support meaningful, lasting change. My approach is structured, supportive and nonjudgmental, creating space where clients can process challenges and move toward healing and growth.

My name is Dr. Jess Priode (pronounced "Pray-dee") and I believe every person's story deserves to be met with compassion, respect, and understanding. With nearly two decades of experience in the mental health field, I help individuals navigate relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, depression, grief, family conflict, boundaries, self-esteem, and life transitions. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and recognize that our identities, cultures, and environments can shape how we experience relationships, stress, and the world around us. I strive to approach each client with cultural humility, curiosity, and respect, rather than making assumptions about what your journey should look like. Life and relationships can be overwhelming. Maybe you're feeling anxious, emotionally drained, stuck in a relationship, struggling to set boundaries, or simply unsure of what comes next. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and develop healthier ways of responding to yourself and the people around you. You deserve a space where your story matters and where you don't have to lose yourself to take care of everyone else. If you're ready to better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and feel more confident navigating life's challenges, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Over the years, I've worked across diverse community settings, including Home-Based Services, hospitals, outpatient, PHP, residential, and virtual environments.

I want you to know that I can empower you with the tools of success.

I bring a broad and versatile clinical background shaped by work across medical, educational, correctional, community, and crisis‑response settings. My experience includes providing therapeutic support, behavioral assessment, and case management to individuals across the lifespan and across diverse levels of care. I have worked in skilled nursing facilities, offering mental health support to older adults, addressing adjustment, grief, cognitive changes, and emotional well‑being.

This work has strengthened my ability to navigate high‑risk environments, provide trauma‑informed care, and collaborate with multidisciplinary justice‑system teams. My crisis‑focused experience includes MRSS (Mobile Response and Stabilization Services) and other crisis counseling roles, where I provided rapid assessment, safety planning, de‑escalation, and short‑term stabilization for individuals and families experiencing acute emotional or behavioral crises. I have also served in elementary, middle, high school, and college settings, supporting students with emotional regulation, academic stress, behavioral concerns, identity development, and social challenges. My work in educational environments emphasizes developmentally appropriate interventions and skill‑building for long‑term resilience. I have supported clients through the Ryan White Program, providing mental health services to individuals living with HIV, addressing stigma, medical stress, trauma, and holistic wellness. My experience with FEMA emergency shelter operations includes offering crisis counseling, resource coordination, and emotional support to individuals and families displaced by emergencies or natural disasters. Across all settings, my approach is grounded in compassion, cultural humility, and evidence‑based practice. I am committed to helping clients navigate life challenges, build coping skills, and strengthen their emotional well‑being, regardless of their background or level of need.

I'm so glad to be connected. I use a collaborative approach, meaning we build your goals together. We track progress and celebrate wins! There’s no pressure to share everything right away—this is a space for you to feel safe, supported, and heard. It’s the first step in building a path forward, together. My goal is create safe and non judgmental space to foster personal growth and healing.

Over the past 11 years, my work with adults, children, and families has been a true privilege. I have had the honor of listening to people's stories, I've watched people's hidden strengths come to light, and I've walked with my clients as they learn what works for them. Together we find the clarity and the internal resources needed to meet their challenges.

Hello , I am a licensed social worker based in Ohio. And I also am licensed in California. I have been practicing for close to 40 years, so have a great deal of professional and life experience, that I can apply to my work with clients. I am motivated to help adults of any age, move forward with their lives. And also there to help clients develop healthy skills that they can utilize, to become their "best selves." My approach tends to be more SHORT TERM and Solution Focused. I also see myself as a life coach for many of my clients. I am a regular practitioner of yoga and meditation and enjoy bringing elements of these practices into my work as well. I also love animals and enjoy hiking and biking in nature. *I do not work with clients who have HIGH RISK CONCERNS, such as recent suicidality, recent psychiatric hospitalization, domestic violence or substance abuse issues. Since I feel clients managing these issues, are better served seeing providers in a traditional office setting with more wrap around services. Clients who book with me presenting with these high risk concerns will have to be referred out by me to other providers or more appropriate resources in their community.

Hi, my name is Tishina and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. For the past eight years, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood changes, and the challenges that come with everyday problem solving. I became a therapist because therapy changed my life. It helped me heal, find my voice, and believe in myself and now I'm passionate about offering that same support and hope to the people that I work with.

I have worked as a counselor for the last 20 years, and specialize in working with those who are challenged by changes in life. Whether you have had recent life events that are confusing or upsetting to you, losses, or feel as though your life is missing something, my desire as a therapist is to help you work through the change process and land in a space that makes you feel as though you are complete. I am proud to be a person that people say they feel comfortable talking to and have always taken a nonjudgmental approach to anything someone has to share. We are all unique and deserve an unbiased audience. Whether you are struggling in a relationship, looking at addictive behaviors, challenged by mood changes, or just unsure of why you feel stuck, I would love the opportunity to work with you and assist in facilitating movement toward your personal goals.

I am a clinically licensed social worker. I went back to school at 54 after a 30 plus year career in special education and early intervention. My passion and gifts center on helping people overcome overwhelming life challenges and life transitions. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and CAMS to assist you in overcoming trauma, changing negative thought patterns, and regulating intense emotions and self-harm behaviors. My focus is to make you feel welcome in an accepting environment that allows you to be transparent and vulnerable in a way that brings healing for you.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a graduate of John Carroll University, where I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I specialize in working with individuals and families impacted by trauma, and I approach this work with deep compassion, respect, and a belief in each person’s inherent capacity for healing. I believe that healing happens through connection, understanding, and recognition of the strengths that already exist within you. Life can present challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about the future. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, and cultivate meaningful change

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Ohio. I earned my doctorate (Psy.D.) from Wright State University's School of Professional Psychology. I have been practicing for 10+ years primarily working with adolescents and adults. I have experience working in many different settings and with clients from many different backgrounds. My approach to psychotherapy would best be described as integrative and collaborative. I enjoy working with my clients to identify the best version of themselves and the different ways that they can work to getting closer to that person they aspire to be.
