Therapists in Ohio

Hello! I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Supervisor (LISW-S) and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) based in Ohio.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana. I received my master's degree education from Purdue University Northwest. I have experience in working with a variety of issues including, but not limited to, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, grief/loss, and adjustment disorders. Outside of private practice, I work as a therapist in the schools and with non-profit agencies in the community.

I believe healing is possible, even when the experiences we've been through feel difficult to move beyond. While we never choose to experience trauma, we can begin to find our own path forward with the right support. Therapy cannot erase the past, but it can offer a safe space to process, grow, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves we may have lost along the way. I believe every person has the capacity for change, growth, and healing, even when that might feel impossible. It is my privilege to walk alongside clients as they learn their own strengths, build self-understanding, and create a life they are proud to call their own.

Licensed Independent Social Worker with 10+ years of behavioral health experience across military hospitals, VA services, residential treatment, and community mental health.

I am a US Air Force veteran Clinical Social Worker. I served from 2015 to 2024 before voluntarily separating. During my USAF time I treated active duty members, their dependents, and veterans. I worked primarily in outpatient care providing 1 on 1 in person therapy, however would frequently be called to conduct emergency assessments for high risk cases involving suicide, homicide, domestic violence, and/or child abuse.

Through these experiences I have treated a wide range of mental health issues to include general stress/adjustment disorder to depression/anxiety/PTSD/grief.

Hi, I’m Kelly. I’ve been working in mental health for over ten years, and one thing I’ve learned is that you don’t need another person talking at you like a doctor, teacher, or expert who has your life all figured out. You need someone who can meet you where you are, understand what you’re going through, and help you figure out where you want to go from there. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and personality disorders, with a particular interest in Borderline Personality Disorder. I’m trained in TF-CBT, DBT, and Somatic Experiencing, and I’m IFS-informed. I draw from these approaches based on what actually makes sense for you rather than forcing everyone into the same treatment model. My style is warm, direct, conversational, and human. I take the clinical side of therapy seriously, but I don’t want therapy to feel clinical. I want you to feel like you’re talking to a real person who happens to know a lot about mental health. I’m unapologetically anti-racist and deeply committed to supporting Black and Brown communities. I have extensive experience working with these communities and believe that race, culture, identity, and lived experience belong in the therapy room. I also recognize that racism, white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, economic inequality, and immigration policy can have very real effects on our mental health. I’m gay myself and genuinely enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationships, family, minority stress, or just want a therapist who gets some of the context you’re coming from, you’re welcome here. Most importantly, you don’t have to show up as a “better” version of yourself. Bring the messy parts. We’ll start there.

I’m Jessica, and I’m so glad you are here. I am a Christian but work with people of any faith or none at all. I work with teens, young adults, women, and couples- whether you are navigating trauma, childhood wounds, harmful or unhelpful relationship patterns, toxic workplaces, church hurt (without having to lose your faith), parenting, and betrayal/infidelity. I'm passionate about working with people who are ready to understand their patterns, do the hard work of growth, and move toward healing. We’re shaped by both our wounding and our wiring. Because of that, I use a trauma-informed AND attachment-based approach to help you understand where your patterns come from and create meaningful change through EMDR, inner child work, IFS, and memory reconsolidation, integrating your spirituality if you would like. With couples, I draw from Gottman-informed methods to rebuild connection and intimacy.

You don’t have to keep carrying everything on your own. You can heal, understand yourself more deeply, and build healthier relationships—and therapy can help you get there. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who works with individuals and couples navigating trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, grief, relational difficulties, and personal growth. I also offer Christian-integrative counseling when faith is an important part of your healing.

At Pursuit of I Am (POIAM), we provide compassionate, individualized behavioral health services to adolescents and adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, life transitions, and other behavioral health needs. Our goal is to create a supportive and empowering space where clients can heal, grow, develop healthier coping strategies, and confidently pursue the life they envision for themselves.

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.

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.

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.

Hello - my name is Mary Van Hooser. I am an older therapist with lots of experience working with a wide variety of mental health struggles. I am easy to engage with, like to listen and enjoy helping you explore and process the concerns you're having in a non-judgmental manner. I am a wife, mother of grown children and have young grandchildren. I have lots of siblings, one having a chronic mental illness that has made me particularly non-judgmental and understanding of the impact this has on families. I admire those who reach out for help and see them as taking a huge step which takes courage.

My approach to therapy integrates evidence-based practices, including EMDR, CBT, and DBT, to support meaningful and lasting change. I approach therapy with a clear understanding of how past experiences can shape current patterns, while helping clients build insight, develop practical skills, and create meaningful change. I provide a supportive, collaborative space that balances compassion with gentle challenge, empowering clients to improve functioning, strengthen relationships, and move forward with intention.

Compassionate and supportive. My focus is on you and your process of acceptance and change. I take time to listen. I focus on strengths. I hold space for your pain. I collaborate with you. My expertise lies in noticing and helping you notice. I recognize that, while cognitive and behavioral work matters, so does the body and so do larger contexts of justice and injustice. Mindfulness and meditation are therefore integrated into care using the following modalities: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Trauma Informed Care Mindfulness Practices ASCH Levels 1 and 1, Clinical Hypnosis

I want them to know that this is a collaborative process and I’m in it with them to help them become with self and overcome any obstacles in their way.

I’m Elizabeth Lucarelli, a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, depression, chronic illness, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is practical, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should provide a supportive space to feel heard while also helping you understand what is keeping you stuck and develop strategies for moving forward.

Hi, I'm Jill. Thanks for stopping by. I've been licensed in Ohio since 2002. I earned my bachelor's from Ohio University in Athens and my master's from The Ohio State University in Columbus. I have experience in both mental health and addiction treatment. I truly love what I do! I like to bring a positive, solution-focused approach to therapy. I understand how hard it may be to take that first step to reach out for help. I want to hear your story and what has been going on with you so that you feel heard and supported. I provide education about how the brain and the body work together (and against each other at times!) Life can be overwhelming-you don't have to go through it alone. Let's get started today.

As a therapist, my approach is open, non-judgmental, and collaborative. My goal is to create an empowering environment because ultimately, you are the expert in your own life. I specialize in trauma, mood disorders (depression and anxiety), and perinatal mental health. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This form of therapy has been shown to be effective for individuals who have survived traumatic experiences and/or who have experienced complex developmental trauma throughout their lives. With experience working with diverse diagnoses and populations, I visualize therapy as a journey where I walk alongside to help you achieve your therapeutic goals.

If you are looking at my profile, you are probably having some life difficulty. I was in your shoes years ago. Seeking therapy was the best decision I ever made. It helped me take control of my life. I help people discover themselves, empower them with tools and knowledge, and help them heal.

My aim is to help you have the tools, knowledge, and experience to go into the world prepared to attain your goals.

Hello, I am Chrissy Dingledine. I was born and raised in Ohio and in the past few years I moved to North Carolina. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with my Master's in Social Work in 2012. I am currently independently licensed in Ohio and North Carolina. I have had a range of experience from providing crisis and solution focused treatment in a jail setting, providing holistic and solution focused treatment in a medical clinic, and providing care to adolescents in the school setting. Each setting has helped me grow as a provider and a person. One commonality from each experience is that we are all human and we all need support throughout our lives, and there is no shame in this. I am here to provide you with a safe space where you can speak openly and honestly. I want you to feel supported, seen and heard as you share personal details of your life.

I'm Carmela Byus, LPCC-S, LICDC, a licensed mental health and substance use clinician who has been helping individuals navigate life's challenges since 2012. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. Every person has a unique story, and healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey. My approach is compassionate, person-centered, holistic, and trauma-informed. I recognize that our experiences, relationships, family dynamics, and attachment patterns can shape how we see ourselves, manage emotions, and connect with others. I work with individuals navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, substance use concerns, low self-worth, relational difficulties, and life transitions. I am especially passionate about helping individuals understand how past experiences, attachment wounds, and learned patterns may influence their emotional well-being and relationships today. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore challenges, recognize your strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with your sense of identity and purpose. I believe our past experiences may shape us, but they do not have to define our future. Through understanding, self-compassion, and meaningful connection, healing and personal growth are possible.

As we work together, they develop a grounded and authentic sense of self, grow their resilience, and step into personal empowerment, allowing them to live their truth and create more inclusive, meaningful connections in their communities.

Hello! My name is Caleb Knorr, a counselor based in Steubenville, OH with over nine years of experience supporting people through experiences of complex trauma, social anxiety, anger management, grief, depression, and more. I also have a particular passion for working with teenagers, supporting them as they navigate the unique challenges of growing up.

Are you grinding through days feeling down, empty, burned out, or like you just can’t keep doing this? Do you feel a heaviness inside that keeps coming back and makes everything harder? Are you so used to bottling up your emotions that you can hardly remember a time when you didn’t just keep everything inside? You might believe deep down that you are broken, that it’s your fault you feel this way, and you will always need to hide who you really are and what you really feel from others. Or maybe life or a relationship has just gotten really hard lately, and you don’t know where to go from here.
