More about me

Licensing: LCSW-C, PhD Years in Practice: 8 State: Maryland

I am a clinical social worker currently in private practice with eight years of experience practicing therapy. I have a master's degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland and recently received a doctorate in Human Services with a specialization in Counseling through Capella University.

I have significant experience with working with people dealing with grief, addiction/recovery, trauma, relationships, self-esteem, and depression. I have worked with clients of all ages, races, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

I believe that therapy should be a thoughtful, collaborative exploration of the issues that face us as humans; a journey that aims to help us find and utilize the strengths that we possess which will guide us to happier, richer, more fulfilling lives. I bring a compassionate humanistic approach, using reflection, humor, and insight to help you grow, overcome, and prosper.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Louisa Freeman is by far the best, most down to earth counselor/therapist I've ever had. She knows when to encourage versus when to challenge. She talks in real language and responds to messages in a nice time frame. I think she's fabulous and feel very blessed to have her.
