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.

I grew up in the Cleveland area and then came to Michigan where I completed my Bachelor's degree at Hope College where I studied social work. While in school I completed a field placement working as a probation officer and spent time in Mental Health and Sobriety Treatment Court. After graduation, my now husband and I moved back to Cleveland where I completed my Masters in Social Work with a specialization in Health Studies at Case Western Reserve University. While in school I completed internships with the Cleveland Clinic in their Adolescent Psychiatric Unit as well as an interdisciplinary internship at Care Alliance. Following graduation, I worked in admissions for psychiatric and detox services for six years. I then wanted to expand my skill set and pursued a position providing therapy to health care employees as an EAP counselor at a local hospital system. I found that I really love the opportunity to get to know my clients and to walk alongside them on their journey.

Hi, I'm Natalie. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who trained at the University of Pittsburgh. I am less interested in labels or "shoulds" and more interested in helping you understand what's actually going on in your life... and what might help you move forward with more steadiness and self-trust. We could fancy that up by saying I operate from a compassion-focused, client-centered perspective with a strong harm reduction lens -- but I kind of like my phrasing better! I work with people who want support around substance use; trauma, including complex or developmental trauma; relationship patterns; family-of-origin dynamics; and personal growth during times of transition. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and grounded in evidence-based practices (even if our conversations feel more human than clinical!). I've worked with folks from all walks of life, in a wide array of environments - typical outpatient offices, online, and even outdoors with unhoused communities. I also have a decade of specialized training and experience working with Veterans. So whether you've worn a uniform or not, walked into a therapy office or have never spoken to a therapist before, are a pro at tele-therapy or just trying it out for the first time, I'm probably a pretty good fit for you!

Greetings! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and have worked with offenders, anger management clients, couples, teens and adults struggling with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Through a strengths based approach, my clients learn more about themselves thus improving self-confidence, communication, mood and overall outlook on life. I love serving my teen and couples clients via the Gallup strengths test. This test helps individuals understand where their energy is highest and what they value most. It's not about "strengths", but values. I believe one of the best things we can do for ourselves is take the time to truly understand ourselves as this helps us learn to communicate effectively, be productive, overcome procrastination and more. This is one tool of many I enjoy using to help my clients.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I'm Caron (pronounced just like 'Karen', and I bring a lifetime of diverse experiences to my work as a counselor. Having lived through many of life’s transitions myself, I understand that growth often comes from challenge and change. My perspective as an older adult allows me to connect with clients from all walks of life with authenticity, patience, and empathy. Over the years, I’ve learned that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s a personal journey. I draw on my own lived experiences, professional training, and genuine curiosity about people to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel truly seen and heard. Whether someone is facing anxiety, addiction, grief, or life transitions, I help them discover their inner strengths and move toward a more grounded, fulfilling life. My goal is to empower clients to recognize that it’s never too late to grow, to heal, and to live with greater self-acceptance and purpose.

As a therapist I have 16 years of experience in helping adults and adolescents identify their own needs and collaborate to help them recognize how to improve upon those barriers. My primary interest is in helping individuals gain insight into their self worth in order to better manage life and mental health barriers. In therapy with me clients learn how to adjust negative thinking, improve self care, adjust self esteem and adjust your ability to believe in yourself. Sure therapy can be scary and even stigmatized but with the right collaboration it can be a godsend. Let me help you on your journey, let me help you adjust your crown.

I am a compassionate and experienced Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S) with over 20 years of experience and dual credentials in mental health and substance abuse treatment in Ohio. I support adults navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship struggles, grief, and low motivation—helping clients feel safer, more grounded, and capable of change. My approach is collaborative and practical, offering both emotional support and evidence-based strategies to empower clients as they work toward meaningful, lasting growth. I was drawn to this work by my beloved family member, who lived her life with a mental illness. Watching her courage taught me early on that healing happens in relationships—when we feel seen, safe, and supported. Outside the office, you’ll find me experimenting in the kitchen, planning my next travel adventure, or getting some fresh air and exercise. These keep me grounded and curious—qualities I bring to our work.

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted by overthinking, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe your mind feels anxious, scattered, or weighed down by overthinking. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. I help adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or major life transitions find clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of calm. 🌱 I bring both compassion and structure to therapy. Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and practical—someone who listens deeply, helps them feel understood, and offers clear guidance for moving forward. 🌱 As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional (CMIP), I specialize in evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy. These methods give us a flexible toolkit we can tailor to your needs—whether you want to quiet racing thoughts, improve focus and organization, or navigate a life change with more confidence. 🌱 I believe therapy works best when it feels both supportive and practical: a place where you feel truly heard, while also discovering new perspectives and strategies that create lasting change. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your strengths, and walk with you as you build the life you want. ---------------------------------------- 📌 Cash Pay / Self-Pay Therapy Option 📌 Self-pay may be a good fit if you prefer: • More privacy (not billed to insurance) • More flexibility in session focus/frequency • No insurance restrictions (limits/authorizations) 📌 Self-Pay Rates: • Intake/Diagnostic Evaluation: $220 • 53-min session: $185 • 45-min session: $150 • 30-min session: $135 📌 Insurance note: Self-pay may qualify for out-of-network reimbursement depending on your plan (not guaranteed). Clients are responsible for verifying OON benefits. If I’m in-network and you choose self-pay, insurance reimbursement is not typical.

Hi, I’m Lisa. You know that cartoon of the little dog at the kitchen table sipping coffee while the house burns around him? Is that you? Have you been saying, “This is fine, this is OK” for way too long? If you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, or overwhelming stress; if something happened to you that’s making life hurt; if you feel your house is on fire and it’s just not “fine” anymore – I am here to listen and to help. You will find in me warmth, compassion, and an ability to truly listen until you know you’ve been understood. I will also bring to you everything I have learned in nearly 10 years of working with clients who experience trauma, depression, and anxiety. Together, we will explore where you’re coming from, set our sights on where you’d like to go, and then build a plan to get you there. We will use evidence-based practices to strengthen what’s already strong in you, heal what hurts, and create new ways to thrive. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but I’m about as frightening as a nerdy baby duck. Whatever you’ve been dealing with, we’ve got it. Together, we’ll work me out of a job. You are strong enough, you are smart enough, and my favorite moment is when my clients say, “Yeah, I think I’m good now.”

My name is Ta'Erra but most people just call me Tae. I started this journey as a therapist to make sense of the world I was living in but it became my passion when I began to see the fruit of healing in others' lives. I have had the chance to work with those experiencing mood disorders, relational issues, and trauma-related disorders. I have also worked with many who like to integrate their Christian beliefs into therapy. My goal is to help you understand the impact that life experiences have had on shaping how you see yourself, others, and the world. I use EMDR, Experiential Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Ohio rather than a city like Columbus?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Ohio. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Ohio from Cincinnati to Cleveland! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Ohio.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
